From the reviews
I just joined this week and have attended two no-gi fundamental classes so far. Steve taught both of the classes, and it’s an understatement to say he’s an incredible instructor. He has a deep understanding of anatomy and health that he integrates into the class.
I absolutely love training here! Steve, James, and Dan are all fantastic instructors for students of any level, making sure that each class is valuable to everyone in attendance. They are all friendly, welcoming, patient, and humble people, and it’s clear how much they love what they do.
I dropped in for a Saturday morning adult class with Coach Steve while visiting town, and it was an awesome experience. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming. The class was busy but well-organized, with plenty of space for everyone.
Been to a few BJJ schools and this one is far and away the best. Great coaches, everybody is friendly and happy to help you learn. Lots of opportunities to compete but also great for recreational rollers like me.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Long Island
10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Long Island 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 Island
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.
