George Yu
"Great coaches, staff and training facility! Super high level jiujitsu with people of all levels. Children program is amazing as well. Very clean and spacious! There’s a workout area as well as a shower which helps a lot."
rad ralph
"Our daughter has been a member of 10th Planet Pasadena for almost 2 years. With the amazing team/coaches (Lila and George), she has exhibited more confidence, and over all physical strength than most 8 year olds I know, on top of that, the ability to defend herself if needed. The kids are highly skilled and is an honor to be part of the 10th planet Pasadena parent community."
Saravut Frank Sopapunta
"Bar none the best jiu jitsu instruction you will find. Erik "Compella" Cruz and Eric Ramey, 10th Planet Black Belts, break down the science and art of jiu jitsu on a technical level, earning the title of Professors. If you live in Pasadena and want top notch instruction, this is the place! Covid update: After taking a two year vacation because of the blip, I once again found myself at the doorstep of 10th Planet Pasadena. I felt very confident coming back because the owners were taking extra precautionary measures to keep the gym clean and the students healthy through these times, doing temp checks and keeping the place well sanitized. I'm so appreciative that I get to continue doing one of favorite activities in a safe environment! Move update: I keep coming back to update my comment because this place keeps getting better. They recently moved upstairs to a larger a space, with a bigger floor space as well as gym equipment. They've also expanded their program to teach younger kids (Nanotechs, 3-6 years old!) It is so rare to have so many black belts teaching their main classes, and 10th Planet Pasadena does it masterfully. If you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for?"
Rebecca G
"My son has been attending 10th Planet Pasadena for over a year and I couldn't be happier with his progress. The coaches are incredibly dedicated to their craft and show a genuine love for teaching Jiu Jitsu to children. They are patient, kind and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that each child is learning and growing in their skills. My son has developed a strong sense of confidence through his training and I am grateful for the positive impact it has had. I highly recommend this gym to any parent looking for a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for their child to learn Jiu Jitsu."
