From the reviews

I started training here since it opened in July 2018. It has been one of the best decisions that I have ever made. It's a great full body workout with high intensity. I have been to some other jui Jitsu places and have had trouble training cause no instructor would show for the class, not here.

★★★★★ — Shawn, Oct 2018

When looking for a Gym I found that Ant offered down to earth advise and instruction. Also the commitment to mat cleanliness is unwavering. It doesn’t hurt that for the excellent price I can show up to any & all classes if you’re up for a challenge. And after a awesome workout, showers are available.

★★★★★ — Carlos, May 2019

Chillest squad of killers in the San Antonio area! In town for 6 weeks and my BJJ coach told me this is the gym I need to be training at while I'm in the SA area. He wasn't wrong. The quality of training partners is only eclipsed by the quality of instruction. Large space. Clean. Professional. Good price. No contract.

★★★★★ — Fracturedfox, Jul 2021

Wow, this place is beyond anything you can ask for. A full combat gym plus highly experienced coaches and professors. Everyone's friendly and matches your effort every step of the way.

New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu San Antonio

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu San Antonio 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 San Antonio

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
