From the reviews
Amazing new academy in Grass Valley! The facility is newly remodeled and provides a warm and welcoming environment. This is one of the cleanest gyms that I've ever been to. The instructor, Hapa, is super knowledgeable and passionate about Jiu Jitsu, Martial Arts, fitness, and health.
I've known Brandon since my white belt days training together in San Francisco, and it’s been incredible to see him co-launch 10th Planet Grass Valley alongside our head coach from Oakland, Professor Mike.
Look no further - this is the place to be if you’re considering taking up martial arts or improving your health! The facility is world-class, and Coach Hapa brings decades of experience in the fitness industry, backed by a lineage of exceptional martial artists.
Everyone at 10th Planet Grass Valley has made it such an amazing experience. Coach Hapa is amazing at teaching Jiu Jitsu and goes over intricate details. It can be intimidating going into a martial arts gym and even changing gyms due to relocation.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Grass Valley Jiu Jitsu
10th Planet Grass Valley Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at 10th Planet Grass Valley Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
