ABOUT

ROOTS ATHLETICS is a modern, innovative cultural fitness training facility, developed to provide Philadelphia with a fun, educational and aesthetic fitness experience.

At ROOTS, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is far more than just a fight sport. It’s an art form, a physical way to express ones self, a very practical method of self defense and a highly functional style of strength & conditioning. Using BJJ as our platform, we developed Primal Flow (Bodyweight exercise) and F.I.T. (Functional Interval Training). Both of which are conditioning supplements to BJJ and the culture of its competitors.

To balance the ground fighting art with striking we naturally host Capoeira, a rhythm based, dance style striking art indigenous to Brazil. Also, we will be adding Muay Thai (Thai boxing) classes. This
