10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Beaumont — Local services in Beaumont

Head instructor (Brown Belt) definitely a high level black belt, but his head coach lives in Los Angeles. So don't be fooled by the brown belt. He does have his own standard of promoting and it's pretty high. A few of his top guys would be considered brown maybe even black belts anywhere else in the area. If you want a blue belt I wouldn't miss any classes for at least a year and a half and you might want to be productive in competition. Besides that the jujitsu is great and the coaching is second to none. Dominique is fantastic and is great with kids, El and Franco are two awesome brothers that teach the first jiu jitsu class and they understand everything the new person is going through when joining a new gym, so it's unlike any other place as far as having people lead and guide you. Eugene teaches kickboxing will definitely get you results, he's a machine I'm not sure if he even gets tired. Jim Debes is the judo/little dragons instructor and the only multi black belt at the gym and in multiplie disciplines. Very laid back and patient with new students. Judo is only once a week Fridays Anyway hope this helps sincerely James W Pros: 2500 square feet of mat space, definitely the best mats money can buy. Great coaching Cons: not enough jujitsu classes and only one with the head instructor (takes months to get promoted to his class) the students are unaware of the curriculum that they need to be focusing on to advance. It makes it very awkward...

This gym is easily the best place to train no gi jiu jitsu in the southeast Texas area. Not to mention the kickboxing and mma programs are excellent as well. It's a wonderful facility with tons of mat space.

The instructors are extremely knowledgable and super supportive and helpful! Also, the mats are cleaned every day after practice which is awesome! The atmosphere is super friendly and all the students help each other get better at this combative martial art.

The program is absolutely the best option to help you lose weight, because it's so fun you don't even realize you've exercised so much. Alsoy you're learning a valuable and dominant form of self defense that can help you survive and function during any possible form of violence in the streets. (Hopefully you won't have to use it; but it's better to know how to handle yourself and not need it than the other way around.)

As I mentioned before, everyone is super supportive and helpful of each other. And if you're nervous about coming in and getting "roughed up"; that is absolutely not the case. Beginners start slowly and everyone is mindful of new students. Also, the instructors never put a "spotlight" on students which can make some people self-conscious. Instead, the instructors show everything in detail and answer questions. Then you break into groups of 2 and practice the move.

That being said, this is an excellent sport to get involved...

Was incredibly excited to do the 6 week Muay Thai program, had 2 and 1/2 weeks of really good experiences followed by a practice where an instructor chose to make fun of me and call me out in front of the whole class. When you have a highly experienced instructor beating up and making fun of somebody with 4 days worth of experience and nobody steps in to do anything, it should be a giant red flag. Make sure you read the refund policy because they're more concerned with just taking your money and not following through on holding each other accountable. You should be horribly ashamed of taking people's well-earned money just so you can make a spectacle out of people just starting their journey.

EDIT: I thought I could just put this bad experience behind me, but now more than half a year after the incident I have students from 10th planet stalking me on multiple social media making fun of me for quitting. What more do you want from me? You took my money, embarrassed me in front of everyone... and then after all this time with no contact, you decide to start terrorizing me online? What the hell is wrong with you and your students? LEAVE ME...
