Best place to start your jiu-jitsu journey or to continue growing. So whether your it's just a hobby or your looking to compete this is truly the place! Couch mike is a great person who will you help you achieve your goals and is also super understanding when it comes to personal issues. Can't recommend a place more then here, if your debating on coming don't wait any longer.
10th Planet Whittier is a gym where you can find legit black belt instruction and a welcoming environment to all skill levels. Coach Mike does an excellent job of blending Wrestling and Judo and Jiu Jitsu into his curriculum. He is a top-notch instructor, leader and motivator. Training under Mike has improved my overall game and I went from becoming a guard puller to a someone who has complete confidence in their standup game. So come on by and train with us Monday - Saturday!
Great clean gym, competition level classes, high level black belt instruction, fun rounds and brand new recovery equipment. By far best gym in the Whittier area.
When I stepped into the gym, I noticed the staff paid attention to detail on cleanliness and organization. Further, Coach Mike and the team are very welcoming, especially to a beginner like myself. He will ease you into "rolling," it was a 10/10 experience. I would recommend trying a class out!
I Joined this gym early this year and it’s been the greatest investment health wise and it’s given me confidence. I recommend it to my family and got my brother in law and nephew to join also sensei Mike is a great coach he’s very detailed and helps you out when ever you have a question and breaks everything down until you get it right! The environment is friendly and welcoming but also challenging to make sure you’re getting it all in to advance in your training. If you ever wanted to experience it for your self come down and try it out for your self!
10th planet Whittier is great. Coach Mike is very detailed about every little technique and he takes time to make sure that you do it right.
At my previous gym I adapted a lot of bad habits and now I'm slowly correcting all of them.
In addition this gym is very clean, we have to dip our feet into soap water before stepping onto the mat which I absolutely love.
Best academy in east of the 605. If you're looking for top tier instruction, an incredible facility that is always clean, and a staff that will treat you like family. Coaches that will show up for you at the tournaments, and access to the greatest grappling network in the world.
A review by a black belt
I’ve been coming here for almost a year and I can’t express how much I enjoy it. I’m one of the oldest students at 53 years old and I’ve learned so much since I started. I’m healthier and stronger. Lost up to 30 lbs and I really fell in love with Jiu Jitsu. Everybody in the academy is great. No egos and no altitudes. Coach Mike is really dedicated to teaching you proper technique and his approach to teaching is great. The details he provides in each technique is golden. This definitely became a lifestyle change for me and I can’t thank this place enough!
There a ton of Jiu Jitsu gyms on every corner. Look no further! Top notch instructors and competitors. Coach Michael Wilson is amazing in the Gi and No-Gi. I've been training for 20 years and have 22 professional MMA fights and he just beat me. He comes from a high level lineage!! Check them out!
Just visited today. Coach Art is really skilled at teaching young kids BJJ. He trains them sophisticated concepts but in a way that is very understandable for them.
I’ve had such an incredible experience at 10th planet Whittier. The coaches are highly skilled and dedicated creating a positive and motivating atmosphere.
When it comes to the kids classes, this gym excels in creating an environment that seamlessly combines learning with fun. Coach Art, with coach Mottle and coach Lily strike a perfect balance between discipline and play, fostering a love for Jiu Jitsu. Beyond self-defense skills, the classes contribute significantly to building confidence and teamwork in the kids.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this jiu-jitsu gym for individuals of all ages. The sense of community here is unmatched, making it an excellent place to learn and grown in jiu jitsu. But also to spend a good time at each classes.
The coaching staff and facility is phenomenal here. The owner and head coach Mike Wilson is a team USA Grappling Coach, UFC Cornerman, Runs a professional grappling event and actively competes. They have coaches for lightweights and heavyweights as well as a strong women’s program. They practice what they preach are one of the top new schools around. I highly recommend training with them if you are in the area.
I was visiting for their Grand Opening and Casey Halstead seminar yesterday. The facility is truly beautiful. The artwork on the wall gives a great aesthetic. As for the training, you can’t do better than a Casey Halstead black belt that offers a strong culture and they have I think 4? Everyone from the coaches to the students were very welcoming. If you’re going with a group, I’d recommend carpooling if possible as the parking lot can be a bit packed.
did some drop ins while i was in the area but super welcoming school with legit instructors with lots of knowledge willing to help you out. briefly trained at the old location in whittier a few years ago and this was definitely a huge upgrade from that. the open mat offered a lot of bodies and skill levels. good music too def recommend.
Training atmosphere is focused on professionalism and learning. Check out their Instagram @10pwhittier to see how the coaches instruct and what kind of adult and children classes they offer. Also, love the bathroom’s amenities with provided mouthwash and how clean the facility is too!
Been to a couple open mats here and it’s usually a treat. Very fun and friendly vibe here. coaches are down to earth and friendly. everyone is kind and respectful. Made a couple friends here now.
Absolutely love this gym! Super clean, very cool art, and amazing staff. Any one from novice to professional will enjoy the training here. Cant wait to be back! Highly suggest paying a visit if your in the area.
Great place to train with amazing coaches from day ones to experienced people. Definitely recommend this to everyone who is looking for a new gym or to get into the sport.
Mike wilson is a really great coach and I'd say it's definitely a good idea to start training here if you live around the area. Also I'd highly recommend going to their Sunday open mats, rolling to Nas is always awesome.
Love the gym and the coaches. Highly experienced coaches for all levels. The coaches are knowledgeable and welcomes all levels. Thorough instructions with a set purpose. My wife and I were looking to start BJJ and found our home with 10th Planet Whittier.
Top tier gym! All the coaches are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. You can tell that they truly care for the advancement of each student whether they are brand new or experienced. The gym itself is well maintained, clean , and absolutely BEAUTIFUL🤞🏽.
Fantastic fun. Stayed over 6 hours. Bingo rooms. Non smoking areas. Good counter staff. Only one handsome polite and helpful male floor staff. The rest and maintenance people were weird! They came up on me within 12 inches of my personal space. Wow crazy. How do you not move for elderly woman?
10th Planet Whittier is the best place to train. All the coaches are cool. Mike Wilson is an awesome teacher. Very welcoming environment for self improvement.
10 p whittier where the chokes are prettier! 👐🏽 coach mike and coach art are some of the nicest and most skilled black belts out there, great classes with lots of attention to detail, whether you’ve been training for years or just touching the mats for the first time come on in. everyone deserves to have a place like 10p whittier in their life
This is the most beautiful gym I have ever seen. It has everything you need.
It’s great to get rounds in and shower right after.
The instruction here is world class and it is the best place to start if you are a beginner.
This facility is a vision come to live and you can tell there is a lot of passion here.
The vibes are amazing and this is what’s great about jiujitsu.
Amazing gym. Amazing people. Great Coaches. I have my 4 year old son in the class, and it’s everything I was hoping for and more. Coach Art and Coach Mottle work very well with the kids. I am very thankful in finding this gym.
Both my daughter and hubby train here and we love it!
The coaches are truly exceptional and are friendly, kind and patient. They care about the kids and go above and beyond to help each student learn and grow. They create a fun environment with unique games and activities while teaching them respect, discipline and the art of jiu jitsu.
My daughter looks forward to seeing her coaches and training with her friends.
Never have I seen a better roster of good coaches in 1 place.
Coach Mike and John are some of the best in the business. But there are other better looking coaches though.
Mike Wilson is a true professional and has an amazing staff of coaches to help excel your BJJ game for all levels. The facility has a cool style/vibe and is clean. I would also recommend stopping in for open mat on Sundays.
Great environment to learn and train jiu jitsu. The coaching staff is amazing, always willing to answer your questions, great at assessing the skill level of the entire room in order to effectively carry out a successful training class. Although the goal is to teach jiu jitsu, the coaching staff also puts an emphasis on how training can positively impact your life outside the academy. Don’t walk! RUN and sign up!
Mike and his team have a beautiful gym with a welcoming hospitality, when I visited the gym the staff was very welcoming and friendly and very supportive of beginners and advanced levels. The training is always great with the quality of instruction provided at each class. The gym has showers , restrooms, changing area, and recovery room. This place is amazing and highly recommend trying out a class you will be in good hands
Coach Mike runs a great gym and very friendly. Facility is awesome. They have kids, beginners, and advanced classes for all ages. Highly recommend you check it out.
Coach Mike Wilson is a great coach and runs great classes! I was able to drop into class from Las Vegas and he was very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend joining the gym if you're in the area!
