From the reviews
When I left my previous BJJ school I tried a couple of schools in the Scranton area that were excellent but just too far. Lucky American Killer Bee's is just across the street from my former school. I love this place! Matt and his wife are awesome. Professor Perez is amazing.
Best MMA gym in the poconos from Muay Thai to jiu jitsu to wrestling. They have amazing people and amazing instructors. Matt Brian TJ Andrew Dlo are all great coaches that care about the students. Gym has a friendly energy about it and the kids program is great.
Exceptional is how I would describe my experience here. Professor Matt was teaching kids wrestling when I came in a hour early and it was great to see how well he kept the focus on learning, working hard while having fun.
American Killer Bees is an outstanding gym that offers a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals and families. I’ve been training at the gym now for over a year and a half and see myself training here forever. As a newcomer, I felt immediately at home thanks to the friendly community and expert coaches.
New to kickboxing? Start at American Killer Bees PA MMA & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
American Killer Bees PA MMA & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at American Killer Bees PA MMA & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
