These guys are top notch. Super nice and definitely know jiu jitsu. I've been training for a few years now and I picked up some nice moves and defenses. High level no gi for sure. They definitely took it easy on an old timer that likes pajamas. Thanks again for having me.

Best place in Grand Rapids to learn no gi jiu jitsu and practical grappling skills. Coach Chili is always on point and classes are fun and engaging. Teammates here are both tough and supportive. Highly recommend if you want to get into jiu jitsu or are looking for a solid no gi experience.

I've been training with the head coach, chili for a while. Amazing instruction. Entire focus is modern no gi grappling. Very inviting, fun place to train. I've trained a few other places in GR but there's no where I'd rather train than scallywag jiu jitsu.

Was visiting Grand Rapids on business and had a couple hours to attend 2 hours of a Monday evening with Chili and his team. Fundamentals and especially wrestling were awesome. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable group. Highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area. Great environment. Only wish I had more time to spend with them. Next time I am in town I will be reaching out again. Keep working hard Tenth Planet Grand Rapids!

Frequently Asked Questions

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE TO START TRAINING BJJ?

Not at all! 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Grand Rapids welcomes complete beginners. We offer introductory classes specifically designed to teach the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a safe, supportive environment. Everyone starts somewhere, and our coaches will guide you every step of the way.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic wear such as shorts and a rash guard works perfectly. Once you train regularly, you'll want a gi (BJJ uniform). We train gi here — our coaches can point you to the right gear.

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Yes! We encourage you to try a class before committing. Contact 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Grand Rapids to schedule your complimentary intro class and experience our training environment for yourself.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN AS A BEGINNER?

Most beginners see strong progress training 2-3 times per week. Consistency matters more than volume early on. As your conditioning improves, many students increase to 4-5 sessions per week.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A BLUE BELT IN BJJ?

On average, dedicated students earn their blue belt in 1-2 years of consistent training. BJJ progression depends on mat time, active learning, and open rolling. Each stripe reflects real skill growth.
