10th Planet Oakland Jiu Jitsu

"I’ve been training at 10th Planet Oakland for almost two years, and it’s been such a great experience. There are good rolls and a welcoming atmosphere, whether you’re brand new, just looking for a good place to train, or aiming to compete. Mike is extremely detail-oriented and clearly invested in everyone’s development. The coaching staff brings a lot of knowledge and is always helpful and eager to teach. It’s a well-run, thoughtful gym with a strong community."

"10th Planet Oakland is hands-down the best jiu-jitsu academy in the Berkeley and Oakland area. The coaching is rock solid, the leadership is strong and grounded, and the energy on the mats is consistently positive, inspiring, and deeply supportive. There’s a rare kind of self-governing vibe here—people train hard, look out for one another, and keep things clean, focused, and elevated. It’s a place where integrity isn’t optional and transparency is the norm—positions of authority are earned and held with care. It’s where you grow fast, stay humble, and enjoy showing up."

"This place is my home away from home in Oakland. Mike and his team of coaches is super detailed and observant with teaching techniques and the training environment is warm friendly, but at the same time, competitive and about getting better. Everyone is super welcoming whether your a beginner or seasoned veteran"
