From the reviews
Coach Tim is awesome and has tons of knowledge, he’s really been helping me step up my jiu jitsu game. The gym has a good atmosphere, and the best instruction I’ve found at a gym in Nashville, I’d give 10P Nashville 10 stars if I could, and highly recommend it to anyone interested in jiu jitsu whether it’s your first…
I absolutely love this gym! Professor Tim has been one of my favorite 10th planet instructors and I have been to multiple different locations! The all around vibes of the location and people are exactly what you hope for when joining a new gym. Not to mention Tim’s instruction makes complex moves easy to follow.
I took a great fundamentals class going over submission sequences from closed guard, the teacher worked with me and was able to explain a ton of different options from where we were going and where we ended up.
All around awesome school, everyone from their owner to their new students are very welcoming. I really enjoyed my visit to this school and encourage everyone whether you’re just traveling through the area or looking for a great place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu go here.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Nashville
10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Nashville 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 Nashville
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.
