Iâve been training at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Van Nuys with Coach Alder for over 10 years, and I can honestly say signing up is one of the best decisions Iâve ever made. The atmosphere here is warm and friendly, making everyone feel welcome, whether youâre a beginner or you've been rolling for years.
Coach Alder is an incredible instructor who truly cares about his students. He makes every class fun and entertaining while ensuring that we all learn and grow. The gym itself is top-notch, with plenty of open mat space, multiple mats, and a clean, well-maintained environment. The weight room, complete with heavy bags, is perfect for cross-training.
They offer classes in the morning, evening, and on weekends, making it easy to fit training into any schedule. If youâre looking for a place to train where youâll feel like part of a family, this is it. Highly...

His ability to structure his curriculum and his attention to detail helps you grow and become better at Jiu Jitsu.
The environment in the gym is also top notch. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help you get better. We train hard but we take care of our training partners and help each other get better. I am extremely grateful for what 10th Planet Van Nuys has done for me and can't recommend it enough to anyone who is thinking of...
