This place is absolutely amazing! I had tried other places for my son, and the environment just were not what you'd want a kid in. Coah Eric and his team have taken my son in and truly shown him what a real coach and team is.
Learn how to fight, self defense and get fit! This is the gym for you!
I had been looking for a gym to start back up my martial arts training when I came across 10 Planet Crystal City it is a great place to start or restart your martial arts path. Eric and Jacquelyn have created a family oriented and safe place to learn and develop your Jujitsu skills where all are welcome to come and train. If you are looking for a great place to train this, is it.
Best gym in the area. Eric is a great instructor and very knowledgeable. The team atmosphere is amazing and very inviting for experienced martial artists and beginners. He also has a very family friendly environment. 100% recommend training here.
Popped in for a Saturday open mat. Everyone was polite, no one was a spaz, and I never once felt in danger of being injured or unwelcome. Eric has created a family friendly atmosphere for everyone to safely and respectfully learn self defense while having a good time.
Eric's a really good teacher and he has really good options very open very honest very good people very family-orientated would definitely recommend them he words with you he's got very good knowledgeable people for the price I was getting a good teacher and the students seem very knowledgeable what shows good leadership for the price I would highly recommend him and his teachers with the three options like Brazilian jiu jitsu Muay Thai and kickboxing you really can't go wrong
Great spot great people and even a really good kids class!
So many good things to say about 10th planet! Coach Eric and his assistant coaches are INCREDIBLE with the kiddos! They do a wonderful job of showing the kids what they’re doing and making sure they understand. They usually wrap up with a fun game and they kids have so much fun with it. The flexibility of being able to pick which (M- TH) days of the week you attend is also super helpful for working parents. Highly recommend!
Eric does a great job teaching. Friendly environment and clean mats!
Best jiu jitsu gym in the area. Eric and Jackie are the GOAT highly recommend.
Eric the owner/Instructor is awesome. He was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. After my first class I was smiling and I immediately signed up for unlimited amount of classes. Everyone was really encouraging and supportive. Great environment. I’m excited to be part of this gym. It’s also very kid friendly.
Sunday at 11 AM is Open Mat. Anyone is welcome free of charge. No gym memberships or sliver linings required. This gym is no gi only. I have experience at 4 jiu jitsu gyms, and 10th Planet Crystal City is my favorite out of them. The owner and black belt coach, Eric, is a super nice guy, always bringing a lot of energy and positivity to the mats. He's happy to facilitate casual training, but also has a tournament team that does well in locals. If you have a more serious mindset, Eric will flip that switch and push you. The schedule is currently 11 AM Mon, Weds, Fri, Sat, 7 PM Mon through Thursday, and 6 PM Mon & Weds. All classes are mixed level. Brand new practitioners should do the 6 PM Mon & Weds. There is also Muay Thai at 6 PM tues & thurs. I haven't done the classes, only watched the tail end, but the instructor and a few of the students are legit killers. If the gym is lacking something, its that it is one year old and is lacking upper belts. Right now there's something like 1 brown belts, 2 purple belts and a hand full of blue belts. Classes are usually about 8-20 people with all kinds of body types and a couple women in each class. Actually speaking of women, this is the highest woman ratio gym I've been at. Maybe its because Eric is such a good looking guy, but its probably because his wife Jackie is a banging BJJ practitioner too and she comes to a lot of the classes. If you are new to Jits swing on by on a monday or wednesday at 6 PM. Bring some shorts and a T Shirt and give the free trial a shot.
The instructors are great with the kids. I’m so glad we started training here. Highly recommend!!!
10th planet Crystal City is amazing! I contacted them about my 5 year old daughter who wanted to give it a try. They let her come to a class and test it out to see if it was going to be a good fit, and it's now her favorite activity to do!! The environment is super friendly and everyone is welcoming of newbies. Now my daughter and I both train a few times a week , I'm so happy we found this place
Eric and Jackie are very welcoming and great teachers, anyone on the fence about taking a class should really stop in and give it a shot it changed my life for the better.
I came to 10th planet Crystal City while visiting a friend who trains here. I had been away from Jiu Jitsu for over 5 years and was nervous to start again. Eric made me feel very welcome to his school and I had a great training experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and a very good teacher. He definitely gave me the motivation to restart my Jiu Jitsu journey! Anyone looking to get started in martial arts, or re-motivated like myself should visit this academy.
Awesome family environment, Eric is a great instructor with patience for beginners and a wealth of knowledge
Awesome place to learn Jiu Jitsu. Clear, easy to follow instruction in a friendly learning environment. New, clean facility, with plenty of space for training. If you've ever thought of trying jiu jitsu or are looking for a new place to continue training, this is it!
Eric and Jackie are very welcoming and have a great gym. Top level coaching, highly recommend dropping in if you’re in the area.
Awesome atmosphere! Owner is very knowledgeable and patient with beginners. Everyone has been very welcoming. Great place to learn and train
