10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Albuquerque

“My 6yo and 9yo have been coming to 10P for about six months now and they love it! They're always eager for class. My wife and I like the schedule, Mon-Thur 5-545pm. Coach Nate and Coach Donnie are great! My 9yo's confidence has noticeably risen over the last few months. Would definitely recommend 10P to other parents!!!”

“I have instructed for 24 years. I have seen a lot of training facilities and gyms. This is the best place for grappling arts. Safety, from the warm ups to the techniques safety is paramount. Experience, all of the instructors have exceptional knowledge from the best grapplers in the world, like Marcelo Garcia to Craig Jones and more. Community, everyone here is focused on getting better no egos, just good people and vibes everyone welcome. I am 44 these people have gotten me in the best shape of my life no more high blood pressure. Thank you, Nate, Ferg, Donnie, Joe, and Heather”

“Been a few times so far and I really like it! I’m no stranger to martial art, but this has been my first time doing Bang Muay Thai, and Donnie is a great instructor—knowledgeable and very competent in what he teaches, and he is very good at presenting the material in an accessible way. Carlos is also a fantastic instructor, obviously very knowledgeable, but also very approachable, and can motivate people without being a jerk to them! I more recently tried out the all levels Jiu Jitsu class, which was also led by Donnie, and I loved it! The school, staff, and other students are all very welcoming and everyone is there to share in bettering themselves. Very great experience and I’m definitely continuing with both BMT and BJJ! The gym is clean and looks nice (clean, inviting), the equipment is in great shape, they are a trans inclusive gym, and the other students there are friendly and supportive of noobs 😎 great experience all around, highly recommended!”

“Been training here with my parents for over 5 and a half years now I have a blue and both my parents have a purple belt…. 10th planet ABQ is my second home and family. It is a unique gym… a melting pot of techniques and talent… I am honored to call this place my home gym. All the instructors are a wealth of knowledge… I started with no experience or background 5 and a half years ago every single coach was so patient with me… and with the help of this amazing community and with Nate as your Head coach the heights you’ll reach are unfathomable…. I have experienced exponential growth with my abilities as a martial artist…. And it’s definitely reflected in my personal life and relationships as well.you definitely won’t leave any class the same person you were when you entered.”

“My five year old has been attending for about six months now and we are both happy with 10th Planet. I chose 10th Planet because my son is neurodiverse and I thought jiu-jitsu would be a good physical activity to meet his sensory needs and to teach him some self-defense. My son has made friends and his motor skills have improved. His OT says he moves more confidently. We really like that there is no uniform requirement and that the atmosphere is friendly and less formal than another martial art place we tried (my son didn't like the gi and was expected to stay still for too long). Coach Donnie provides structure and authority, but is also very tolerant and fun. There are no testing fees which are common in other dojos. Classes are easy to fit into your schedule because class meets four times a week for 45 minutes (we try to go at least twice per week). The price is reasonable compared to other places I looked at for young kids. Coach Donnie is a master at mixing teaching skills and games in the 4 to 7 year old class (there is a class for older kids too) and the owner and other coaches are friendly and fill in well when Coach Donnie is out. The parents of the kids are also very friendly and a great source of knowledge for all things kid-related in Albuquerque. For all these reasons, I highly recommend 10th Planet for kids.”
