Review №1

I came in for a trial only to be disappointed by the attitude of the main instructor. I came in very humble and wanted to add some new skills to my prior martial art knowledge. I accidentally came into the advanced class on cedar crest after accidentally calling the Bethlehem location earlier that day about a trial class. After coming into the wrong class I asked if I could still join due to having experience in the past. The issue wasnt that I was declined. The issue was after the instructor asked me more in depth about my training he totally brushed me off and didnt say another word besides that I was allowed to watch. He didnt ask my name, my age, or what I would like to get from his school. Didnt even introduce himself or his curriculum to me. When class was over he wouldnt even tell me the time slot for the next class. he forced me to scan a qr code and find it myself... when I wanted to schedule a specific day with him... worst part is one of his students came up to me stating that the main instructor was a champion and that if I came in blabbing my mouth about my past experiences (which I wasnt), that he would boot me out and not say another word to me. Honestly I dont know what to say. Ive done mma for almost 11 years. Ive done plenty of jui juitsu in my training however I wanted to learn from a school that specialized in it. After hearing much about this school I wanted to train. But after coming in today. I wouldnt even train if they paid me.

The head instructor just competed in the Olympics of Jiu Jitsu and finished in fourth (ADCC 2019). Jon was also the first 185lb Combat Jiu Jitsu worlds champion. Jon “Thor” Blank is easily one of the best practitioners in the world and is a great teacher. Couldn’t recommend this place, Laura, and Thor more. If you want to train Nogi Jiu Jitsu with one of the best guys doing it right now stop in and see Jon and Laura!

I was visiting from out of town for an open mat and Jon Blank was extremely welcoming. There were people of all sizes and skill levels and everyone had a good attitude. The location took sanitation very seriously and the facility was well maintained. I would highly recommend stopping in and checking out if you are in the area.

I started here with zero experience and everyone’s been friendly and welcoming. Jon is great at teaching the moves, and works with you patiently to make sure you know what you’re doing. It’s a lot of fun and I have zero complaints.

Great environment for training with one of the best in the country. Makes every student a priority, even us older students who will not be top tier competitors. Can’t give enough shoutouts to Jon and staff.

With no equivocation, hands down one the best place to learn BJJ. If my word means anything; bring your son, daughter, wife anyone with a pulse here to learn a true life saving skill and have a great time while doing it.

Jon’s an amazing coach - patient and encouraging with beginners but he isn’t afraid to challenge you either. If you’re even thinking about taking up jiu jitsu, go here. You’ll love it immediately.

I was looking for a jiu jitsu school close by to me and fell upon 10th planet jiu jitsu. I didnt know what to expect so I signed up and since then its been nothing but a great commitment. Jon Blank is a phenomenal teacher who is extremely knowledgeable and talented. Everybody who trains at 10th planet is very humble and helpful. You are treated like family and there are no egos. Doesnt matter if your male, female or your age or experience level. Jon does a great job at catering to your needs according to the pace at which you comprehend what hes teaching. Very easy going and adamant about making sure you make progress in your journey. If youre looking a the perfect environment to train and learn jiu jitsu then 10th planet Allentown is where its at. Ive been here for 5 months and I wouldnt train anywhere else. I even signed up my kids as well.

Jon is 4th ranked at his weight in the entire globe at jiu-jitsu, so he knows his stuff. He is also a great teacher, he has a knack for breaking down technique in a way that is both easy to understand and detailed. People there are very friendly and encouraging to begginers. Its a blessing to have such an excellent gym around. Something inside me drew me to martial arts for years and I am glad I finally gave it a try. its my favorite thing to do, and doing something hard will change a man, or woman.

Jon “Thor” Blank is one of the best instructors/training partners I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with! His resume speaks for itself, #4 ranked 88kg NoGi jiu jitsu grappler in the world, EBI Combat JiuJistu Middle weight Champion, and so much more! If you’re in the Allentown area looking for a place to train, you’d be crazy not to go with 10th Planet Allentown!

Jon “Thor” Blank is one of the most humble and incredibly patient human beings I’ve encountered in my life. He is insanely talented and has a deep understanding of jiu jitsu that surpasses most. To have achieved all that he has in less than 6-7 years including being ranked #4 in the world at his weight.Going to 10th Planet Allentown to learn jiu jitsu from him will change your life for the better. Whoever goes is fortunate and lucky for sure.Great location that is easy to get to & very comfortable place to train/learn. Great welcoming atmosphere. Go train!
