From the reviews
I was lucky enough to be able to drop in and train with the head instructor Conor Heun and his team tonight. It was a great experience and the gym has a great vibe of camaraderie and respect. I was welcomed with open arms and the team even stayed back after class just to talk.

Came out of town from 10th Planet Greenville in SC and dropped in for an open mat. Coach Conor was very welcoming and so was everyone else. The room is deep and there is great comp all around. If I’m ever in Denver I’ll be back again l for sure.
These guys are awesome! I've felt welcomed since day one. Great atmosphere and an awesome gym. Thank you guys! I've been training with 10th planet now for about 8 months. The original warm welcome has transformed into some incredible friendships! The community at 10p is amazing.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Denver
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Denver comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Denver
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.
