This place is home to some of SD’s toughest fighters; the trainers are skilled, professionals. Aside from being outstanding fighters they are the friendliest, wisest, kindest, and humblest trainers I have ever seen. The type of women and men you want your kids to be around. Role models and mentors that will encourage and support your child; building self esteem, resilience, and confidence is what they do best.

I’m not the smartest guy. It takes me a bit longer than others to understand new stuff. I’ve been training here for a little over a month and I cannot say enough good things about coach Jacob Lee, his patience with me, and how much I feel like I progressed because of his great ability to teach slower people like myself. I never had a coach work with me before as patience as coach Lee. This gym is worth every penny

​10th Planet San Diego is phenomenal! The staff, including coaches like Boogeyman and Manolo, are elite yet patient, making complex techniques accessible. The gym's clean environment is a huge plus! The community feels like family—unmatched in San Diego. It’s perfect whether you’re a serious competitor or just aiming to get in shape. Highly recommend!

Amazing place for kids! My grandson is five years old and already learning real jujitsu here. The staff is incredible—patient, caring, and truly committed to teaching the little ones. Not only is my grandson learning, but he’s also having so much fun. On top of that, their monthly price is the best in San Diego! Highly recommend.

It's heart warming to see how a community like this can continue to help you improve. This isn't a gym, its a whole vibe. I've never seen so many people become such extreme before and after transformations. "The Boogie Man" Richie Martinez and his wife Norah do wonders for all the people who come thru

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at 10th Planet San Diego. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! 10th Planet San Diego welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at 10th Planet San Diego train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
