My five year old has been attending for about six months now and we are both happy with 10th Planet. I chose 10th Planet because my son is neurodiverse and I thought jiu-jitsu would be a good physical activity to meet his sensory needs and to teach him some self-defense. My son has made friends and his motor skills have improved. His OT says he moves more confidently. We really like that there is no uniform requirement and that the atmosphere is friendly and less formal than another martial art place we tried (my son didn't like the gi and was expected to stay still for too long). Coach Donnie provides structure and authority, but is also very tolerant and fun. There are no testing fees which are common in other dojos. Classes are easy to fit into your schedule because class meets four times a week for 45 minutes (we try to go at least twice per week). The price is reasonable compared to other places I looked at for young kids. Coach Donnie is a master at mixing teaching skills and games in the 4 to 7 year old class (there is a class for older kids too) and the owner and other coaches are friendly and fill in well when Coach Donnie is out. The parents of the kids are also very friendly and a great source of knowledge for all things kid-related in Albuquerque. For all these reasons, I highly recommend 10th Planet for kids.
Posted 1 year agoBeen training here with my parents for over 5 and a half years now I have a blue and both my parents have a purple belt…. 10th planet ABQ is my second home and family. It is a unique gym… a melting pot of techniques and talent… I am honored to call this place my home gym. All the instructors are a wealth of knowledge… I started with no experience or background 5 and a half years ago every single coach was so patient with me… and with the help of this amazing community and with Nate as your Head coach the heights you’ll reach are unfathomable…. I have experienced exponential growth with my abilities as a martial artist…. And it’s definitely reflected in my personal life and relationships as well.you definitely won’t leave any class the same person you were when you entered.
Posted 1 year agoWe went for a trial class while traveling and loved it! The instructor made us feel comfortable and he was very knowledgeable. The other students were friendly and helpful. Definitely plan on coming back for a drop in!
Posted 1 year agoGreat community of people led by extremely knowledgeable and talented coaches in a very upscale building. Definitely the best place in Albuquerque to do jiu jitsu.
Posted 1 year agoBrought my youth wrestlers in to see if it will be something they would be interested in doing in the off season they seem to like it before the class start. I love the new location it's conveniently nearby. I am hoping they will be inspired to add some new moves to their arsenal. I'm excited to see what 10P can do for them if they decide to keep coming back. Donnie has been a great help so far.
