10th Planet NYC No-Gi Jiu Jitsu — Local services in New York

If you are looking for a modern gym that isn’t bogged down by traditional rules and restrictions 10th Planet NYC is the place to be. I spent a year in Marcelos which was great but I found myself leaning more towards the nogi/wrestling classes. So when I found out 10th Planet was opening in the city I signed up before opening and have been there ever since and can’t see myself anywhere else. Rey and Cece’s open minded approach to all of their students has been so rewarding. It’s driven me to train more and even compete as they lead by example being constant high level competitors as well as even competing alongside us. They also display a wide range of knowledge of techniques with things that are even outside their own game for those of us who would gravitate more to that. I am very excited to remain a part of the academy and watch it grow. If you are interested in a nogi mma friendly submission grappling system 10th Planet is...

NYC itself is almost oversaturated with Jiu-Jitsu academies, so while you'll have no trouble finding a school to train at, there are almost none as welcoming as 10th Planet NYC.

I’ve spent about 5 years training jiu jitsu at various gyms around the country before coming to train here after a several year break and this is by far the best gym I’ve ever trained at. I always found training in the gi to be slow and boring for my tastes which has made it difficult to find a gym that prioritizes the style of jiu jitsu that i wanted to train. The coaches, depth of instruction, and level skill amongst the students here is second to none I’ve ever experienced. Coaches Rey and Cece are great at breaking down the details of techniques in ways that are accessible for students of any level of experience. They’re also two of the most down to earth and humble I’ve met. This gym is perfect for those wanting to level up their skills, train for competition, start a new hobby with a great community atmosphere or...
