Gi Jiu Jitsu is grappling with the use of a traditional Gi, which can be useful for certain types of grappling techniques. A traditional gi or “kimono” is based on the traditional kimonos worn in Japanese martial arts such as judo since the 1920s.
No Gi is a BJJ style in which you don’t have to wear a Gi uniform. No Gi is generally geared towards people who have already taken a few foundations classes or who have come from another martial art.
Jiu Jitsu is perfect for self defense and protection. It gives you the tools to take down and control aggressors who have large physical advantages over you. Taking down and controlling an opponent is very effective because it not only protects you from unnecessary blows but also allows you to control your opponent without damaging them.

We are committed to quality instruction of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, no gi grappling, and self defense in a safe and friendly environment where beginners and experienced practitioners can grow alike.
Beginners are welcome! No prior martial arts experience necessary.
Eamon started training BJJ in the mid 90’s. In 1998, he met Rosendo Diaz and continued to train and teach at the Rosendo Diaz Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy for 11 years. In 2008, Eamon was promoted to black belt by Rosendo Diaz, David Adiv and Royler Gracie. In 2009, Eamon opened up 127 BJJ in Manayunk. Eamon has over 30 years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience and is also a certified IBJJF black belt. Eamon believes that learning never ends. Even after decades of training, he continues to seek out opportunities to grow as an instructor and martial artist. That's why we regularly invite some of the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructors to teach seminars at our academy. Every seminar is an opportunity for me and my students to learn new techniques, gain fresh prespectives and continue to evolve together.
At this school you will find: excellent attention to detail, a training regimen that is personalized rather than one-size-fits-all, and a group of training partners who seek to elevate themselves and those around them each and every day.

Took my first Jiu-Jitsu class at 127 Bjj and have been training here ever since. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. They'll always take the time to walk you through complicated techniques. Also all the students there are friendly and great to train with. Highly recommend 127 Bjj for anyone interested in Jiu-Jitsu or for those looking to continue to improve their skills.

127 is home to great instruction and great people. If you're looking to learn to defend yourself, learn the sport, or both, 127 is where you should be. Our tight knit school is a home away from home full of folks looking to grow and help raise everyone else up in the process.
