Safe Fun and Family Friendly

At Scranton MMA we pride ourselves in creating and nurturing an environment that is extremely family friendly! When you walk around the academy you will notice that EVERYONE is smiling and happy. We keep the mats, locker rooms, bathrooms and lobby neat and clean. We have a ‘kid friendly’ locker room where cursing or any strong language is prohibited. Over 30% of our members have at least one other family member training at the academy. We have father and sons, father and daughters, husband and wife and brothers and sisters all training together. We have entire families that train at Scranton MMA! We do all of this to create a fun and effective training environment.

Make no mistake, we still provide the best training in the area. We have many national, regional and state championships we could boast about, and a good part of the reason we have those championships is because of the family atmosphere at Scranton MMA! No one wants to go to a school that they don’t like and EVERYONE gets excited when it is time to train at Scranton MMA. Moms love the stress relief, Dad loves the exercise, and the kids love the fun games we play in our kid’s jiu-jitsu classes.

Also, we are the only martial arts facility in our area that has a ‘sprung floor’. That means that all of our mats are raised off the ground on 3-inch foam springs. This is absolutely the safest way to learn self-defense and helps reduce injuries and makes it easier to train if you have existing injuries. The main training area is where all of our Jiu-Jitsu classes are taught as well as all of the Judo classes. We also hold some of our Muay Thai classes and MMA classes on this floor as well. Don’t worry, with 4,000 square feet of mats we have plenty of room.

Scranton Jiu Jitsu At Its Finest

Scranton MMA instructors have a great passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and have dedicated years upon years of training students in this great martial art. We have multiple Black Belt instructors who will help beginners progress quickly and allow our advanced students to reach the highest of goals.

We are partnered with Phil Migliarese of Balance Studios in Philadelphia. Phil also comes up to Scranton to teach classes as well. We also have the great privilege of having numerous Balance Black belts stop in to train and take classes with us.
