Kesa-Gatame and Kata-Gatame are the first grappling techniques (Katame-waza) that you learn in Judo.

Our Founder and Master Instructor, Dr. Sandone, teaches a lesson on how to transition between these two fundamental holds.

Zhang Sah’s adult martial arts classes are designed for exactly where you are right now. Whether you have never thrown a punch in your life or you are looking to reconnect with a practice you love, there’s experience required and no judgment. Just movement, focus, and a community that shows up for each other every single day.

It is never too late to start!

29 years ago, one vision changed Philadelphia forever. 🥋💛

In 1998, Dr. Salvatore Sandone founded Zhang Sah with a bold idea, that martial arts could be so much more than a sport. That it could be the foundation for education, community, and a way of life that transforms generations.

What started as a single dojo has grown into something Philadelphia has never seen before: the only nonprofit martial arts-based school of its kind in the entire country. Today, Zhang Sah serves hundreds of children and families across multiple locations all rooted in the same mission that started it all.

To develop educated, fit, resilient, and socially mobile students. To elevate what a martial arts school could be. To build a true community resource.

28 years in. The best years are still ahead. 💛

At Zhang Sah, we believe that sustainable excellence starts with well-supported people.

From May 22–27, all Zhang Sah locations will pause classes and programming to give our instructors and staff dedicated time to rest and reset.

Our team shows up each day with focus, discipline, and care for every student. Creating space for renewal isn’t just a benefit—it’s a reflection of our commitment to a healthy mind, body, and spirit across our entire community.

We’re proud to be an organization that prioritizes the well-being of our team as much as the development of our students.

Classes resume May 28. We look forward to returning re-energized and ready to serve.
