Blank’s addiction to grappling sports started during his pre-teens, as a 10-year-old when he joined his school’s wrestling team program. He would later be part of the Notre Dame High School wrestling team, for which he became a District 11 champion and a 2x state tournament qualifier. Not armed with the financial means to pursue his academic aspirations, after high-school Blank decided to become an electrician. This profession allowed Jon the freedom to train jiu-jitsu, a sport/martial art that had always fascinated Blank. At the time of Jon’s decision to join a grappling school (2014), the 10th Planet Bethlehem Academy had just opened its doors. Blank was well aware of the 10P brand, having heard of it through popular figures such as Eddie Bravo, Joe Rogan, and Renato Laranja – all well-known members of the martial arts community, and decided to join a class. JM Holland and Zach Maslany became Blank’s first and only instructors at the 10th Planet gym, developing the young talent and feeding Jon’s competitive drive. Climbing the ranks at a tremendous pace, while conquering several regional and international level shows, Blank’s recognition grew inside the grappling community, particularly after Jon’s win at the Combat EBI middleweight tournament (2018). A well-publicized event with a worldwide audience, which combined grappling with limited strikes. Conquering this tournament, placed Blank on the map as one of the top athletes in sub-only / Combat EBI rules. Blank’s long list of accolades would lead to his black belt promotion, a ceremony that took place on December 29, 2018 – Jon’s 25th anniversary day. 6 months later, in July 2019 Jon announced the opening of his own team affiliate gym, in 10th Planet Allentown. . ## Programs ### All Levels Jiu Jitsu **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** No-gi jiu jitsu classes welcoming all experience levels **Classes:** ### Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals **Skill Level:** Beginner **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** Foundational no-gi jiu jitsu techniques for beginners and intermediate students **Classes:** ### Advanced Jiu Jitsu **Skill Level:** Advanced **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** High-level no-gi jiu jitsu training for experienced practitioners **Classes:** ### Kids' Jiu Jitsu **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** kids **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** No-gi jiu jitsu program for children age 7 and up, building confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills **Classes:** ### Kickboxing **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** Full-body kickboxing classes with individual attention in a clean and positive environment **Classes:** ### Advanced Kickboxing/Sparring **Skill Level:** Advanced **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** Advanced kickboxing training with live sparring **Classes:** ### Women's Jiu Jitsu **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** Free women's only jiu jitsu class, welcoming all experience levels **Classes:** ### Open Mat **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** adults **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** Open mat for Finishers members or with approval from Jon **Classes:** ### Mobility Class **Skill Level:** All Levels **Age Group:** all_ages **Gi Requirement:** No-Gi **Description:** Mobility and flexibility training to complement martial arts training **Classes:** --- **Last Updated:** March 01, 2026 **Data Source:** BJJ.Space (https://bjj.space/gyms/united-states/arizona/bethlehem/10th-planet-finishers)
