"I’ve been training at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Van Nuys with Coach Alder for over 10 years, and I can honestly say signing up is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The atmosphere here is warm and friendly, making everyone feel welcome, whether you’re a beginner or you've been rolling for years. Coach Alder is an incredible instructor who truly cares about his students. He makes every class fun and entertaining while ensuring that we all learn and grow. The gym itself is top-notch, with plenty of open mat space, multiple mats, and a clean, well-maintained environment. The weight room, complete with heavy bags, is perfect for cross-training. They offer classes in the morning, evening, and on weekends, making it easy to fit training into any schedule. If you’re looking for a place to train where you’ll feel like part of a family, this is it. Highly recommended!"
"Clean, open, friendly, knowledgeable and safe. These are the attributes that I believe make the best gyms, and create the best experiences. 10th Plant Van Nuys is upholds a high cleanliness standard, which all staff seemingly follow and enforce. The space is very open, with lots of room for their popular classes as well industry leading equipment. The staff is the real gem of this gym: friendly, consistent and full of knowledge. Coming here is that "learn something new everyday" experience that we all strive for. Jean and Alder do a fantastic job and really pay attention to their clients' wants and needs. I send all my friends and family here."
"I’ve been training at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu since December, and as a first-timer, I couldn’t ask for a better experience. The coaches are patient and knowledgeable, the vibe is super welcoming, and the gym is always clean and well-kept. I’m learning a lot and really enjoying the journey."
"Best school ever!!!! I've had some unorthodox training in bjj and even bought 10th planets book as a teenager to learn. It's amazing to finally learn from the real deal and get guidance. Any combat sport is intimidating but I was warmly welcomed my first day by the coaches and especially the higher belts, that's how you know there is a fantastic culture. If you are nervous, don't worry. This is the best gym to go to. No pressure, you'll hear tap early and tap often when you first start. You know you are in good hands, this is 10th planet after all. -Dr. Michael Datu PT, DPT, CSCS, AIB VII"
