10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys

Raymond Paik

One of the best BJJ gyms around. Extremely friendly atmosphere where people from all walks of life can get together and feel welcome. Gym goers range from competition-minded devotees to middle aged men just looking to get a sweat in. No matter who you are though, everyone is enthusiastic and passionate about the sport of BJJ. Coach Alder and Coach Jose are some of the most detailed, technical people you can learn from, and you come away from every session buzzing with knowledge and excitement. Cannot recommend this gym enough!

I have been coming here for a couple of months. The coaches are very patient and friendly, and so are all the students. There’s always something new to learn here. I’m not always able to attend as consistently as I’d like to, but whenever I do, I always feel welcomed and at home. Very glad I found this place. It’s not just great for the amateurs & veterans who want to sharpen their skills, but it’s also a great place for beginners with zero experience. If you’ve always been interested in learning this art, but never quite able to take the first step, then I recommend you come visit 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Van Nuys and take the free class. There’s nothing to lose.

A great place to learn and train. Alder takes the time to go into the fine details of all the techniques and positions. He creates an environment of sharing knowledge and positive energy. He also makes sure that training is a great workout while maintaining a safe training environment. A great place for all who love jiujitsu, or are looking to train for the first time.

This is by far the nicest facility I have ever trained at. Coach Alder did such an amazing job with the mats - they feel like they’re designed by NASA or something. The place is very clean, which is huge during Covid times. I was hesitant to resume my training after the world flipped upside down - but the way Coach Alder and the front desk staff run the place, I immediately felt very comfortable and safe. The training sessions are such a great workout, and the family they’re growing is very welcoming and kind. If you’re new to the sport, you’ll absolutely be taken care of. And if you have some experience, you’ll see quickly the higher belts know their stuff. I trained before the pandemic and resumed here after my old gym unfortunately closed. I’d highly recommend it to anyone of any skill level.
