From the reviews
This is one of the best Jiu Jitsu schools in Greenville! I also love the fact that unlike BJJ, it's no gi Jiu Jitsu. The dependency of relying on a gi for grips and chokes with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is limiting in real life scenarios unless the person is wearing a jacket.

Manny and Sergio are both wonderful coaches. They create a competitive and welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy. Making positive adjustments on a consistent basis, and giving beginners to no-Gi BJJ a good place to start in the fundamentals classes they offer.
When first starting something as daunting as jiu jitsu, it can feel hard to push yourself to even try it, but 10th Planet Greenville makes it feel very welcoming and have a great group of people that help you along the way.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Greenville
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Greenville 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 Greenville
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.
