Phoenixville is its own town. You should not have to crawl Route 29 or 113 to Exton three nights a week to learn jiu-jitsu. Dragon Gym’s fourth Chester County school sits at 785 Starr St, Suite 112, inside Starr Street Village (the ACME shopping center), just off Nutt Road (Route 23). Collegeville, Royersford, Kimberton, Spring City, and Valley Forge are the actual feeder towns — that is who this page is for.
The BJJ week here is focused: Monday and Wednesday 7:15 p.m. Enough to build a habit. Members still get Exton open mats and Saturday classes when they want extra rounds.
