From the reviews
Awesome gym with top notch coaches. Instruction is clear and to the point. I always leave tired and feeling like I learned something new. Super clean. They give a free week trial so you can check the place out before you make any commitments.
Instruction that focuses on technique, the mats are super clean, training partners give smooth but hard rolls, and it's a great environment to enjoy jiu jitsu in. Definitely stop by if you are in the area, or live nearby.
The gym itself is very nice and CLEAN! Chai is a great instructor and a skilled, high-level practitioner. You would be be missing out not taking his class.
I started going to 10th planet Long Beach about three months ago. It’s a very welcoming environment, the instructors Chai, Geo, and Joey are really well educated in jiu jitsu and give helpful feedback/instruction during classes. If you’re a beginner I recommend starting with Geos classes, he is the man!
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Long Beach
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Long Beach 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 Long Beach
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.
