From the reviews
Love 10th planet Orange! My brother convinced me to come to my first jiu Jitsu class a year and a half ago and I’ve been coming consistently ever since. The instructors are great and the sense of community & team is what I love the most about it.
First off, the coaches Mike John and Jon Cho are a couple of master class martial artists. The attention to detail with the years of training is expressed through their teachings. Classes are always filled with students who will guide any beginner and also give a good roll to those who have years of experience.
I’m in California from Texas and decided to drop in at 10th Planet Orange—such a great experience. The coaches delivered clear, structured instruction, the partners were skilled and respectful, and the vibe was welcoming from the moment I walked in. Easy drop-in process, clean mats, and great energy all around.
Mahalo to Coach Jon and Coach Mike at 10th planet Orange County. We're here from Hawaii, my kids are here to compete in ADCC this weekend. Dropped in and it was an awesome experience. Coach Jon and Coach Mike took care of us from the beginning to the end. Makz and Nyxen loved it. We will definitely be back.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Orange
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Orange 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 Orange
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.
