Mid World Martial Arts/10th Planet Bloomsburg

“Eric is an exceptional coach and student of the game! He and I have a long history dating back, perhaps 15 years when we first competed against one another. At the time there were very few practitioners in central PA. I watched his growth and development as he brought the life changing power of Authentic Jiu Jitsu to the people and Columbia County as I was embarking on the same endeavor in Lycoming County. Over the years, I’ve watched many people come and go but no one had the consistency and resolve that Eric displayed. There are many people who want to be dropped on the top of the mountain. But very few are willing to dig in and climb step-by-step. Some people pay for belts and affiliations and others earn them through blood sweat and tears. Eric did just that And the fruit of his labor has led to Being recognized as one of the top coaches In PA and the first 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu affiliate. Eric is the real deal. Don’t be fooled by imitations.”

“Started with 0 prior knowledge of kickboxing and jiu jitsu. I was nervous, until I realized everyone in the gym cares about bettering themselves and their teammates. I highly doubt you’ll find a more thoughtful and encouraging team anywhere else. 10th planet baby !”

“Update 6/28/2022: the new location is even better than the last. Huge training areas for: grappling, boxing, strength and conditioning, and even a full size mma cage. Great training partners with different skill levels and skill sets. Same supportive atmosphere and coaching. Easy parking bathrooms, shower.‐‐------------ Mid World Martial Arts is a fantastic place to train. As an older hobbyist/competitor I find the mix of training and personalities to be the perfect place for me to progress on my martial arts journey. Coach Eric is inspiring, challenging, skilled, and is able to adapt everyone’s training to their goals and physical ability. He encourages everyone to follow their own path. Everyone that trains here is part of the team, and everyone helps each other to push past their own comfort zones in a safe place. Do yourself a favor and try this place out.”

“Amazing facility and quality coaching! Eric and his wife Lauren are very passionate about helping their students improve while also making sure the gym is clean and welcoming! Can't wait to go back and visit again soon and I highly recommend anyone in the area sign up to learn from them 😊🙏”

“Mid World Martial Arts jiu jitsu really pushed us to the next level. Not only do they have a family-like environment, they have high-level instructors for everyone! Wether you’re a beginner or experienced, be sure to check out mid world!!! And the facility is one of the best I’ve ever been to. From weight lifting, to the mat space, and I can’t forget the octagon/boxing ring..they have it all. We are so impressed!”
