Reviews
I highly recommend 10th Planet Whittier to anyone looking for high-level jiu jitsu. These days, terms like 'culture' and 'community' are thrown around loosely, but Coach Mike Wilson truly goes above and beyond in the way he builds his gym's standards. Everyone has a great attitude and is great to train with. All aspects of grappling are looked at here: guard play, wrestling, and judo are all taught here in great detail. I used to strictly pull guard, but after just a few months here, I’m much more confident in my stand-up game. Coach Mike puts a lot of care into this curriculum where it is obvious that every class has a clear goal. It’s a safe environment to learn, and the facility is extremely clean. Personally, the value provided here is insane. I drive over an hour through traffic just to get to class and I think 10th Planet Whittier is the best place to learn jiu jitsu. Along side with the great vibes, I feel like there is a clear direction of what it takes to improve in the sport.
10th Planet Whittier has an amazing culture with great coaches and training partners. The coaching cares about your development whether you’re brand new or experienced. I love that they incorporate wrestling and judo into the system which makes you a more well-rounded and confident grappler The gym is always clean and the atmosphere is positive. If you’re looking for real jiu jitsu, solid coaching, and a good crew to train with this is the spot.
GREAT jiu-jitsu gym! Coach Mike instruction is top-notch, the atmosphere is welcoming & FAMILY ORIENTED, and every class they focus on the perfect balance between technique and hard work. RECOMMEND taking the beginner’s course. HYGIENE is very important in this gym.
Joining jiu-jitsu at 35 felt intimidating at first, but this gym completely changed my perspective. From day one, everyone has been incredibly welcoming and genuinely eager to help you grow at every step of the journey. Coach Mike is an outstanding instructor who breaks techniques down with incredible attention to detail, which lets you train with confidence, knowing safety is always a priority. The culture here is built on respect, creating a fun and supportive environment where all skill levels can learn and thrive. Whether you’re a competitor or a hobbyist, this gym will push you to be better than you ever thought possible.
The best Jiu Jitsu gym in Whittier !! Always bringing in high level people with different skill sets to help round out your game. Highly recommend this place to all levels of practitioners, beginners and seasoned vets.
