GOLD BJJ "BEST JIU JITSU GYM IN PHILADELPHIA"
1. The Jiu Jitsu Company
Our pick for the best Jiu Jitsu gym in Philadelphia is The Jiu Jitsu Company. The owners, Josh and Angela Vogel, are both black belts in Jiu Jitsu and they have been teaching professionally for many years.
Josh himself recently medaled at the prestigious No-Gi Pan Americans tournament, proving he can not only teach but execute the techniques under pressure when it counts.
We also appreciate the transparent pricing on their website, something that is frequently lacking in the Jiu Jitsu scene.
Alongside his wife Angie, Josh is a co-founder and head instructor at The Jiu Jitsu Company in Old City, Philadelphia. In this episode, Josh emphasizes the importance of structured class curriculums and a project-based focus, where students develop their skills through specific, measurable 90-day projects targeting various techniques.
BJJ MENTAL MODELS PODCAST
BOLD JOURNEY MAGAZINE
"The most special thing about our particular academy is the culture. We have been able to make a real impact in the way that people train Jiu Jitsu. Traditionally its a male dominated space, with a lot of ego fueled and sometimes dangerous behavior. We put an emphasis on the problem solving aspects of the art, and present it like a chess game. This ensures that people are focused on the skill building rather than winning."
CANVAS REBEL MAGAZINE (JOSH VOGEL)
"Treating Bjj schools as a hospitality business means approaching our school like it’s a nice Mom and Pop owned Bed and breakfast or restaurant. This shows in how we work to make new students feel at home from day 1 by being welcoming personally, having a clean, comfortable and safe facilities, and creating a warm and inviting school culture."
CANVAS REBEL MAGAZINE (ANGIE VOGEL)
"After 3 plus years open, I feel at this point we can genuinely say we’ve developed standards that allow us to set ourselves apart from others in our field. We are proud of the fact that we have above industry standard retention, and our student have shown real results, and most importantly can see the improvements for themselves."
BLACK BELT BUSINESS PODCAST
"[In a candid conversation with podcast host, Matt Brennar], Josh dives into the world of modern Jiu Jitsu schools, examining the common pitfalls and misconceptions that many academies stumble upon. Josh shares his valuable insights on what it truly takes to create a thriving community, and foster a positive learning environment."
REVOLUTIONIZED DIGITAL STUDENT EXPERIENCE
A case study on the use of a new digital platform and how it's changing the way we teach Jiu Jitsu and run our business. “Any time you’re really invested in something you're passionate about, you start to develop your own ideas as to how you want to present it to the world” - Angie Vogel
BEST HALF GUARD INSTRUCTIONALS BY BJJ WORLD
BJJ WORLD: "Josh’s take on the half guard is that of the most basic modern half guard variation – the underhook half guard. What I really love about it is that It contains lots of drills, each in a section dedicated to certain techniques. Once again, lots of sweeps and back takes, as well as a huge insight into the Dogfight position. However, Here Vogel offers some key transitions into open guards that start with the underhook half guard and not many other grapplers really use. "
