From the reviews
I recently moved out of southern Oregon, but I had the privilege of training at 10th Planet Grants Pass for the past five years, and I can confidently say it's one of the best jiu jitsu gyms I’ve ever been a part of.
This gym's awesome. I've been coming for several years. It's always been good and it keeps getting better. Head coach Andrew is both a great coach and competitor and the gym culture is super supportive. They have a great schedule with classes at 6am, 11am, 6pm, and 7pm.
Super fun gym! Great facilities, open, clean and family friendly. Jiu Jitsu is a great sport to be a part of! Full body and mind engagement. Classes for every age group, something for every skill level from beginner to advanced, supportive and knowledgeable instructors with a full schedule of class times to fit…
10th Planet Grants Pass has highly skilled and dedicated coaches that bring it every day. Numerous classes to choose from daily including a great kids program. Plenty of mat space and the mats are of high quality and religiously cleaned.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Grants Pass
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Grants Pass 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 Grants Pass
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.
