10th Planet Jiu Jitsu San Mateo

“The gym has profoundly impacted my journey over the past three and a half years, especially in earning my blue belt. It's not just the physical training; it's the mental growth. I've learned to adapt in various situations, think outside the box, and approach challenges with a strategic mindset. The community and instructors have been supportive, pushing me to grow both on and off the mats. Thank you Coach Adam, Coach Ian, Coach Alan for all your insight, strategy, and guidance!”

“My 7 year old son has been attending the kids class for about a year now and loves it! Coach Ian and Adam work so well with the kids. Herding a group of 5-10 year olds is not easy, but they make it fun and the children really learn a lot. :)”

“My 6 and 8 year old sons have been in the Mini Jitsu class for the last couple of months, and we all love it so far! It stood out from another bjj location we trialed because of the Mini Jitsu program they designed that gives younger kids a variety of stripes and belts that they can earn in a shorter timeline. This works really well on my kids who like to earn things and see progress. They also really emphasize values like discipline, fitness, and health and discuss it in class. I think it’s a great program and would definitely recommend it. My only wish is that they had a bigger space or could form more classes, since the space feels tight for their bigger classes.”
