Did some research finding out a Gracie brand certified quality place to train doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Now in my 40’s for a future career change from teaching at a university undergraduate, graduate and doctoral business courses by making the transition into law enforcement. Gracie NEPA is the place for me. Completed a 1st degree black belt in Tang Soo Do in Karate at an early age of 11 years old. Had observed a Gracie NEPA Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu children's class conducted in a high caliber of quality instructors to students' interactions. I know what a quality martial arts program is from my early martial arts karate experiences. Gracie NEPA is by far a reputable, golden, quality place for your son and daughter. If I was 11 years old again then this would be the place for me to train without a doubt in mind. I encourage parents to give this place an opportunity to help your child grow with respect to others, discipline, focus, super fit, tough mentally in body, confidence and self-defense skills. I tried out my first beginner adult class ever doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on a Free 2 weeks trial run. I'll admit on a personal note, that I was slightly intimidated by my first class but Gracie NEPA coaches, team and students made my experiences positive, encouraging and memorable there. I had some intimidation at that time disappeared from the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu learning started to evolve within my interactions with Coach Jeff, team and students as a welcoming family. All instructors are top notch! I was hooked for sure after two weeks. Encourage others to try out a Free 2 weeks trial run as well. I would recommend Gracie NEPA to ANYONE… children, adults, young and senior. Gracie NEPA is the golden palace to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the area. Coach Jeff and his team do an amazing job with children and adult classes. They do a terrific job boiling down intricate movements into bite-size easy-to-understand outcomes. Find the location to be convenient having a huge paved spacious parking lot on a one floor building, totally convenient! Enjoy the variety of multiple quality class offerings available on a weekly basis, including frequent pop-up seminars as well. Understand review stars go up to 5, where I would give 6 stars or more for sure! Just walk through the doors at Gracie NEPA and start your journey today by this phone number: 570-383-6300. You won't regret it! I highly recommend without reservation Gracie NEPA speaking as a White Belt NEW Student May 2024! Four words that would sum up my interactions and experiences at Gracie NEPA: Quality, Value, Professionalism & Communication (not in any order). “HARD WORK always WINS in the end!” GracieNEPA.com

I have been training with Jeff for 8 years and can say that he is a great instructor and friend. The whole group at Gracie NEPA is like family. I have traveled all over the U.S. to train and Jeff is one of the top instructors hands down. He has a great ability to break techniques and strategy down so that everyone can understand and execute. You will not find a more friendly and welcoming place!

I have been training with Jeff and the GracieNepa family since 2005/2006 range. As an instructor, you will not find a better teacher in the area. The curriculum is broken down month by month as if you were taking a collegiate / masters class. There are classes for children, beginners, as well as advanced. Jeff is in charge of them all and will guide your journey from day 1. On a personal level, my wife and daughter have entered the GracieNepa family in the past year and I would not trust their journey with just anyone. It is very family centered and I know they are in a great, friendly atmosphere with great instruction. I could go on and on between the teaching, atmosphere, etc., but if you at all are interested in starting this jiu jitsu journey, PLEASE contact Jeff, or any of the other GracieNepa instructors, and you will see why this is the best around.

Gracie NEPA has been my preferred gym for several years. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and everyone feels like family. Jeff, the head professor and owner, is one of the most knowledgeable people that I’ve ever spoke with about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 100% recommend this gym for any one to include children!

Best Facility you will find in the area! Great instructors and a fun safe and family friendly environment! Gracie NEPA has impacted the lives of my family in many ways. As a parent I feel it is our responsibility to educate and train our children how to handle bullies and the Gracie NEPA Children's anti-bully self defense program does just that and it gives me the confidence my kids can stand up to bullies and takes my worry away. My son has been taking class for over 4 years and my daughter just enrolled as the class too! Highly recommend!!!
