From the reviews
I had an exceptional experience at the Jiu Jitsu gym in Pompano Beach, Florida. Head instructor Matt provides outstanding classes, blending unique movements seamlessly into both fundamentals and advanced sessions. The gym's cleanliness and thoughtful design enhance the overall experience.
Without a doubt, this is the best jiu-jitsu school I’ve ever trained at. The coaches are incredibly welcoming, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely kind-hearted. The school itself is not only well-maintained but also has a positive and clean atmosphere.
I visited this gym when they were at their old location, and what immediately stood was the compassion from head instructor Matt Walsh! I felt incredibly welcomed by him and his team, the training they conduct is world class!
By far the greatest gym that I have ever trained at. Coach MATT is an amazing coach and learning the entire 10TH PLANET system has been a blessing, something that I wanted to do for years.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Pompano Beach
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Pompano 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 Pompano 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.
