From the reviews
Gabe Tuttle is an amazing instructor. Classes are so much fun, welcoming, and detailed. It's not every day your instructor has you do the daily move on them so they can feel how your performing it. Gabe has everyone do the move to him and he rolls with all of us.
This gym has been such a positive place to train. The atmosphere is relaxed yet motivating, and everyone is supportive of each other’s progress. Gabe Tuttle is an incredible instructor who makes sure every student feels seen—he always takes the time to explain details and answer questions.
Gabe is the most technical instructor I’ve come across in my jiu jitsu journey. He’s able to break down concepts and moves in a way that is digestible and immediately applicable.
Joining 10th Planet Bastrop has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m very new to Jiu Jitsu, but everyone here has been so welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable. The coaches take their time to explain each step clearly, and the whole team makes you feel comfortable no matter your skill level.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Bastrop
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Bastrop 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 Jiu Jitsu Bastrop
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.
