I recently had the pleasure of training at 10th Planet San Jose for a month while cross-training, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I stepped through the doors, Alan Sanchez, the owner and coach, made me feel incredibly welcome. His approachable demeanor created an inviting atmosphere that made it easy to settle in. Alan truly stands out as a teacher. He not only demonstrates a deep knowledge of Jiu Jitsu but also invests personal effort and care into every student, regardless of their skill level. During my time there, I felt that same level of dedication directed toward me. He was always available to answer questions, clarify techniques, and engage in meaningful discussions about the art. What impressed me most was his commitment to ensuring that everyone understands the material. Alan's enthusiasm for Jiu Jitsu is contagious, and his ability to break down complex concepts into digestible pieces is a testament to his skill as an instructor. Overall, my experience at 10th Planet San Jose has been enriching, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to train under such a passionate and knowledgeable coach. If you're considering a gym to train at, I highly encourage you to check out 10th Planet San Jose—you won’t regret it!

Consider yourself lucky if you’re looking to learn jiujitsu and you are near 10th Planet San Jose! I say that because Professor Alan Sanchez checks all the boxes of someone you’d want to learn from: High-level skills, detailed, patient, humble, and passionate about jiujitsu. The first time I met him was three years ago when he taught a seminar. I still use what he showed with a high success rate. Congrats on the opening, Alan! For all you “unlucky” folks who don’t live nearby, sounds like you just need to make the commitment to get yourself over there to attend a class! I’ll be visiting!

Other than being obviously skilled and talented, Alan is the kind of guy that could teach someone like me (out of shape middle age dad) without making them feel embarrassed. Easy to approach, great attitude, wish I lived closer to train there.

I've been training with Alan now for almost 7 years. He's not only one of the best competitors (Nogi Worlds 🥇, EBI 🥇, CJJ 🥇), but he's one of the best jiujitsu instructors and coaches here in the Bay Area. You'll find him guiding students starting from day 0, all the way to coaching seasoned competitors in major competitions. He's done it all and he's always sharing his knowledge. If you're looking for technical nogi jiujitsu, constant growth, and positive vibes, come to 10th Planet San Jose. I'm happy and proud to see him open his own school right here in South Bay, it's going to be a real gem for the jiujitsu community!

Alan Sanchez taught previously at 10P San Mateo and was their first black belt. Alan is an accomplished competitor and coach. He can break down complex movements and principles to even the most novice of grapplers. 10P San Jose will develop into an excellent environment for everyone, from competitors to hobbyists. You got this Alan, good luck!

Alan's classes are awesome! His technique is super detail oriented, and doesn't rely on any crazy physical attributes. He also practices what he preaches, and regularly shows that what he teaches works on the highest levels by competing at plenty of high profile events. The Bay Area is lucky to have such a respected and experienced instructor and competitor.

Alan is one of the best instructors I've ever had! For new / beginner students, Alan is super patient and always thoughtful in facilitating fun yet technical classes. It's really up to you how far you want to take your training, but you'll definitely have a great time! For intermediate / advance students, it's amazing to have a world class competitor as a teacher. Alan has opened up my game to new techniques / new ways to approach jiu jitsu, and his love for for the sport is contagious. I have grown to love jiu jitsu even more!
