From the reviews
I was down in Santa Fe and trained at three different schools. I have experience traveling to schools and dropping in everywhere I go. Right off the gate, the greeting I received from head Coach Ruben made me realize this school felt different. Ruben's teaching is in-depth, not rushed, piece by piece, step by step.
A great place to learn Jiu Jitsu if you're a beginner, or to refine your skills if you've already been training a while! The instructors have competed at the highest levels on professional events, but also provide the best beginners classes I've ever attended.
The best no gi training you will get in the state! The coaching trifecta… a good human being, a skilled practitioner and an able teacher. Frequently you’ll get 2 of these 3 things but in a lifetime you get all 3 from one instructor a handful of times, at best.
I was having a really hard time as a veteran when I found this place. I felt like I had no community or identity outside of being a mom anymore. I was also struggling with isolation. It is amazing how lonely life can feel at times without a community.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Santa Fe
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe
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.
