Your First Class
Most people who start here have never trained before.
You won’t be thrown into sparring.
You won’t be expected to already be in shape.
And you won’t be put in uncomfortable situations.
We walk you step-by-step through the basics — how to move, how to stay safe, and how class works.
You’ll be paired appropriately and coached the entire time so you can learn at your own pace.
Most new students leave surprised at how structured and supportive the environment is.

Meet the Team
Scott Diggs- Founder. Head Instructor.
Scott Diggs has over 30 years of martial arts experience as a wrestler, kickboxer, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. He is Lycoming County’s first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and has coached athletes ranging from complete beginners to competitors performing at the highest levels of combat sports.
In addition to his martial arts career, Scott spent decades working as a mental health professional. That background shapes the culture at 570 Jiu-Jitsu — structured, patient, and focused on long-term development rather than ego or intimidation. Classes emphasize safety, technical clarity, and steady progress for students of all ages and experience levels.
Scott completed the Gracie University Instructor Certification Program in July 2023 following a live evaluation at Gracie University headquarters in Los Angeles. 570 Jiu-Jitsu is an independent academy and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Gracie University.
His philosophy is simple: create a safe, disciplined environment where students build real skill, real confidence, and real resilience — on and off the mats.
