Jacob Nuesser
"I have trained at a lot of different gyms. As a life long martial artist and deep ties to the world of Mixed Martial Arts, I can tell you 10th Planet Chicago one of the very best places I have ever trained. Top notch instruction, functional jiujitsu no matter what you are looking for, sport, fitness, self-defense, you are good to go. The gym is ego free and full of people looking to reach their full potential in life and using jiujitsu as the path to greatness. If you haven't checked it out, you are missing out on life!"
Maurice Zakhem
"More than a gym, it's a home away from home to everyone that makes that important decision to walk through the door. 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Chicago is a room full of technically proficient Monsters, world class instructors and family that has built a bond that truly embodies the fact that martial arts impacts your life far beyond the techniques you learn. This place not only turned into a formidable Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, it saved my life and I know it can do the same for you."
Sean H
"Coach Josh is dedicated to his craft and his students. From day one he made me feel welcome within his gym. The team is also a group of awesome individuals who make the experience even better. If you are looking to learn about BJJ/wrestling, I could not recommend this place and coach Josh enough. Great coach, great atmosphere, and awesome teammates."
Lauren Rand
"My husband and I dropped in here while visiting family in Chicago this past weekend. Everyone at the gym was very nice and welcoming and coach Josh was great. We really enjoyed the lesson and learned so much in just the one class. The gym is aesthetically very nice and also super clean. We will definitely be back in the future when we are visiting the city."
