I love this school. I have been going here since I was a kid and the coaches and students are the most professional and kind people I ever met. They absolutely know what they are talking about and are truly very respected fighters in the MMA community. They teach great values and discipline and will uplift you into the best fighter you can be. Before going to this school I was a very shy and unconfident kid and the coaches and people at this school made me into a self confident, more respectful and mature person as a whole. I highly recommend Finishers MMA. It is the best jiu jitsu/MMA gym in the world.

The best gym in the world. It’s no surprise that they have created some of the highest ranked grapplers in the world and even more up and coming competitors. The culture here is each one teach one. Zach and the team really take the time to help the new students truly learn and once ready promote them to advanced class. There’s no better training than a 10th planet Bethlehem advanced class.

I have visited 10P Bethlehem many times for competitions and seminars/ training camps. My head coach, Jon Blank, also teaches here. The space is beautiful and clean with so much mat space! As both a competitor and a student, I have had nothing but great experiences. A special shout out to co-owner and head coach Zach Maslany for his very public support of women in combat sports! In short, great gym, I love coming to visit!

I started training at finishers HQ in the spring of 2023 with zero experience and no knowledge of martial arts. The staff here is welcoming and helpful and the environment in the gym is very positive and enjoyable. All of the more experienced guys are more than happy to help you learn and get better. Quinn and Rene especially have helped me make progress over the last 2 years. I highly recommend checking out any finishers location if you’re interested in learning how to choke out your friends. -Nate Z (the cooler nate)

What a crew! I visited from the UK and Zach couldn’t have been more welcoming. Rene made time to teach me some of his front headlock game even in the midst of training camp and Jimmy ran an awesome essentials class. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Go check it out! 🤙🏻

Really awesome gym! Very few egos with lots of people having fun learning and leveling up. The instructors are all very positive and bring their unique personalties to encourage you to learn and strive toward your personal goals! I'll be honest, I do feel its expensive but obviously being a part of the gym I would say it is worth it. At least I'd encourage you to try it out for a month or 2 and see if you catch the bug to continue from there 💪 (If it is still like when I started, the first month should be discounted for you 👍)

I have nothing bad to say about this gym. It has everything you’re looking for when it comes to being a high level grappler, striker, or an overall mma fighter. The coaches are world class and they make sure you understand what they are teaching whether you’re a beginner or already have experience. This is the type of gym that makes you want to come back the next day. 10/10

Haven’t trained here (yet?), but yooo, I chatted with them before, and they seem SUPER AWESOME! 🤩🔥 That kind of energy? That kind of spirit? RARE in martial arts! 💯 Respect. 🫡✨ And their costs + unlimited classes?? HELLOOO, that’s some next-level generosity! 🤯🥋 Wicked deal for anyone ready to dive in! 🏆 Maybe one day. But for now—big props to y’all! 🫶😊 Keep being amazing! 🚀💖

Every time I am in town I train here! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Great technique is always shown and I always learn a new detail that remains in my jiu jitsu game. I am very impressed by this school and will forever recommend to friends

We love finishers .They truly care for your child’s development around self defense. In todays world bullying is everywhere and you need to protect your child from it. Finishers is the place to prepare your child to learn self defense and interpersonal skills. Leadership, learning self-defense, increased strength and many more. They transformed my son’s personality from shy to confident. I highly recommend them because it has been the best investment I ever done for my child’s education. Training my son is learning how to take control and most importantly finish the fight without hurting the other person. I encourage parents to give this place an opportunity to help your child build confidence and self defense skills. I promise you won’t regret it!

I have attended kickboxing & women's self defense here and this gym is the real deal. The instructors are competitors, with years of experience and knowledge. If you are interested, if you want to learn or get better, this is the place. Put in the work and you will grow your self respect here.

Best gym in PA by far. Zach is a wealth of knowledge, and has created not just an amazing gym in Bethlehem, but also a network of amazing black belts throughout PA. Doesn’t matter where you are, take the trip and stop by. It’s more than worth it. And if you’re local… don’t miss out on some of the best Jiu Jitsu, Striking, and MMA in your area.

I came here knowing nothing. I've been in the best shape and the worst shape through my time at Finishers Bethlehem and it made no difference. The sense in accomplishment from just showing up to learn and grow is invaluable. These are skills for life. Finishers has incredible instructors. They're friendly and always there to help and guide students. The scheduling is great as well. I can catch a class on a work lunch break or multiple sessions in the evening or on Saturdays. This is truly one of my favorite places to be and they work to be accessible for everyone. I'll always be grateful for my time spent here.

Purchased a year membership for my son. He had some tendon tear foot injury and withdrew after a month. I was going to transfer the membership to myself but had a bout of orthopedic and neurological/autoimmune issues that prevented this. Two and half years later, I reach out to Andrew at Finishers and he honors the membership. Very honest, fair, righteous place.

Joined as a complete beginner and after 3 months, I try to show up 5 days a week. They are beginner friendly, but also have trainers and members who have 10+ years of experience. They also have extremely clean and hygienic practices which is more than appreciated. When I first joined, I called Andrew and hounded him with all my questions and he answered every single one. Like him, all other staff members and coaches are patient, friendly, and very supportive. Andrew rocks 👍👍

I love 10th planet I left another dojo for 10th. I pay less. I take as many classes as I want. The instructors are amazing and super qualified. Their jiu jitsu is top tier , their Muay Thai is amazing , all classes taught by real fighters/ grapplers with endless experience. class is something I look forward to everyday and I constantly find myself growing physically and mentally. My last dojo made me feel small and under qualified. 10th planet Bethlehem has made me feel Welcome and confident. Special shout out to Renee, Zach, Zach and Ricky and chuckie those are my fav guys!

I started training jiu jitsu at Finishers about 6 months ago with no prior experience. Immediately the coaching staff paired me up with helpful partners and took the time to help me make sense of everything. All of the coaches are super talented but also just really good dudes, always willing to help everyone learn. Great classes for beginners and intermediate/advanced levels. All of the students are super friendly and helpful also, overall a super positive experience, If you’re nervous about starting jiu jitsu, don’t be- this is the place!

I’ve been with the team for going on probably 3 or so years now and being around positive and encouraging people and surroundings not only push you to be a better version of yourself whether you wanna lose weight get out the house and socialize you wanna be a competitor and compete to maybe overcome obstacles the coaches and gym itself will soon feel just like another home whether you wanna get into striking or grappling this is hands down highly suggested to anyone looking for a place to train

I have been training with 10th planet for about three years. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and talented. They have a passion for their craft (bjj, mma, striking) and a genuine desire to share it with others. They meet each student at his/her level and want to help them improve. There are many different class options and times that make it easy to find time to train, even with busy schedules. I love training with these guys and their sister school in Allentown.

Finishers saved my life. The Owner Zach Maslany is an incredible visionary, coach and all around good guy. When we were in lockdown mode here in Singapore I reached out to Zach on Instagram and he took me in without charge and called it a scholarship for me. I did my best, trained as often as I could. Fast forward today, I now own my own grappling gym here in Singapore. All these wouldn’t have been possibly if not for Zach and I’m eternally grateful 🤍 I’m halfway across the world and still miss the training I can get there. If you’re in the area and not training there you are seriously missing out.

I've always wanted to take the first step and begin my BJJ journey. After asking around and researching schools around the area, I made the decision to join 10th Planet Bethlehem/Finishers MMA. After my first week, I knew that I had made the right decision. The atmosphere inside Finishers is like a close-knit family where everyone is supportive of each other, and there is a collective commitment to improve. As a beginner with numerous questions, the instructors have been incredibly patient, dedicating time to answer my questions and demonstrate the techniques we went over in class. Kudos to Zach and the Finishers team, I am proud to be a member and grateful to learn from such excellent people.

Killer facility! I feel like the finishers reputation speaks for itself, but a positive review never hurt anybody. Went down for the Crelinsten seminar and had a blast! Everyone was very friendly, their guys were a lot of fun to roll with, and learned a bunch of good stuff from Crelinsten. I would definitely make the 4 hr drive again.

Trained at gyms around the globe. Can easily tell you this is one of the best gyms in the USA if not the planet . The skill level is no comparison from what I have seen in other parts of the world. Now that I live in Mexico City, I can not find anything close to the empire 10th Planet Bethlehem and Finishers MMA has built. Was and forever will be the home gym. Can’t wait to get my training again with the crew!

My son had trained for 4.5 years before we started at 10th Planet Bethlehem and his improvement in the past year we’ve been there has been amazing. Not only do they have a top notch facility but the instruction and training partners are also the best around. We drive over an hour each way passing many other schools on the way and its definitely worth it.

Absolutely an amazing environment to train and practice your craft. Finishers MMA has an amazing set up from Grappling Mats to a replica boxing and kickboxing ring to a weight room for more extensive workouts. The coaches are all very knowledgeable and take their time teaching in a great group setting. Not one student had an ego to them and was very welcoming and that what I love. I met with Coach Jimmy and he showed me the ropes and basically brought me up to speed with what they have going on. I will return May 1st at a new and improved weight and let the fun begin for me. Awesome team, Awesome gym, Awesome Coaches Oss 🥋!
