Coach Alex is in a class above any other youth coach I’ve encountered. He has a great way with the kids, is always calm, able to control a large group, keep them entertained and encourage them to develop respect for themselves and others. The assistant coaches which are other youth who are in higher levels are such a wonderful addition to the class. Not only is Coach Alex helping to encourage their confidence as teachers but the younger kids benefit from learning from a wider variety of coaches. Thank you Coach Alex and the entire team of assistant coaches 💗

5/5 Stars – Absolutely Awesome Experience! I was in the Bay Area for a short visit and decided to drop in for a no-gi class at 10th Planet Walnut Creek – best decision ever! The gym is super welcoming and clean, with a great vibe right from the moment I walked in. Coach Alex and the team made me feel right at home, even as a first-timer visitor. They took the time to explain techniques clearly, rolled at my pace, and gave awesome pointers without overwhelming me. The instruction is top-notch – creative, effective, and fun – exactly what I expected from 10th Planet. Everyone was friendly, supportive, and had that positive energy that makes training addictive. Facilities are solid too: good mats, plenty of space, and easy parking. If you’re visiting or local and want to train no-gi Jiu Jitsu, self-defense, or just get a great workout, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Walnut Creek! Highly recommend – 5 stars all the way! 🚀

Alex is an amazing coach, the gym is professional and clean. Class sizes are usually 10-15 people. There are training partners with various levels of experience. All the people I have met there have been great partners and made me feel welcomed. If I was not moving I would continue to train here.

Alex and the team at 10th planet Walnut Creek are great. We like that they have both JiuJitsu (no Gi) and striking classes. The other students are welcoming and supportive. My son has trained Gi for 3 years and found the no Gi techniques easy to pick up with Alex’s instruction. They make it fun to learn and are able to describe techniques in ways that are relatable to those new to the sport. You will get a great workout, learn a new skill, and develop mental fortitude. Also, parking is easy and the location is easy to get to.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at 10th Planet Walnut Creek. 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 Walnut Creek 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 Walnut Creek 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.
