Achieve Jiu Jitsu Academy

Achieve Jiu Jitsu Academy in Millersville, PA is led by head instructor Phil Mento, whose approach centers on practical self-defense, fitness, and building confidence for both kids and adults. Phil began his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2010, motivated by a desire to learn effective self-protection after experiencing bullying and seeing the power of grappling in real-world situations. Over the years, he has become a dedicated competitor, earning titles such as 2x IBJJF Boston Open Champion, 6x US Grappling Champion, and multiple wins at NAGA, Grappling Industries, and Tap Cancer Out events. The academy offers structured programs for all ages, including separate classes for children, adults, and advanced students. Kids' classes focus on age-appropriate instruction that emphasizes discipline, coordination, and respect alongside technical skills. Adult programs welcome beginners as well as experienced practitioners, with an emphasis on learning at your own pace and developing practical techniques. For students looking to deepen their training, the advanced program features higher-volume live training, focused drilling, and preparation for competition. Classes are held throughout the week, with early morning sessions available for those who prefer to train before the workday. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and drop-ins are welcome. Achieve Jiu Jitsu Academy is rooted in Phil’s commitment to sharing the benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—confidence, fitness, and real-world self-defense—through a straightforward and supportive teaching style.
