From the reviews
Awesome culture, live rounds, and instruction! I'm a 25 year old competitive judo black belt and I go to a lot of nogi open mats around the country. The "10 Round Tuesdays" (10 consecutive 5 minute live rounds) at 10th Planet Orlando, that I've started going to for the past month, is definitely my favorite.
I had an incredible experience visiting 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Orlando. From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel welcomed—not just as a visitor, but like part of the crew. The atmosphere is both friendly and focused, creating a great balance between learning and training hard.
If your in Orlando and looking for Jiu Jitsu! This is the place to be! Ben Saunders is the head Black Belt at 10th Planet Orlando. Being able to learn from Ben is a true honor. I fly regularly down to Orlando just to learn from Ben.
I have trained under a handful of black belts, and Ben is by far the best. He puts safety and smart training at the top of his priorities. Most credible fight coach around.
New to BJJ? Start at 10th Planet Orlando Jiu Jitsu
10th Planet Orlando Jiu Jitsu 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 Orlando Jiu Jitsu
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.
