From the reviews
I got to drop in with a couple of my teammates on Saturday for an open mat. The instructor Dustin was a great host. I caught the last half of his class then open mat started. Everyone was very welcoming and all the rolls i had were great. If you’re in the area go train at 10P Fredericksburg! You won’t regret it!
Community, balance, no fluff, great people. For anyone considering starting their jiu-jitsu journey, I highly recommend 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Fredericksburg. It’s more than a workout facility; it’s a supportive environment that helps you thrive.
Having trained at multiple gyms across Okinawa Japan for a couple years, I can confidently say this is the most elite room I've ever been apart of. Dustin's teaching is on another planet! everything is live, 100% resistant scenarios which is so different from majority of Jiu Jitsu gyms I've previously trained at.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10th Planet is an amazing place to learn and truly feel like you’re part of a supportive community. My son wanted to start classes for his birthday, and from the very beginning he was welcomed with open arms. He learned so much in a short amount of time and genuinely enjoyed every practice.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Fredericksburg
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Fredericksburg 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 Fredericksburg
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.
