BJJ Academies in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's BJJ scene is anchored by Philadelphia. Balance Studios — founded in 2002 by brothers Phil and Ricardo Migliarese — was named the Official Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Philadelphia in 2009 when Relson Gracie awarded "Academy Status" for upholding Grandmaster Hélio Gracie's teaching methods. Phil Migliarese is a Relson Gracie black belt described as the highest-ranking representative of the Gracies in Philadelphia. Balance runs two main locations — the Center City headquarters and Northeast Philadelphia — and counts more than 30 affiliated schools worldwide.
Pittsburgh anchors the western Pennsylvania scene with multiple affiliate-team rooms across the Allegheny region.
