Had a kid and figured it was time to return and regain some of the health I had in my twenties. The experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The professor/coaches and sparring partners are all welcoming and push each other to improve skill and technique. Kids/juniors/teens classes are great. We signed up our 6 year old at the same time. He has learned self defense, humility, and confidence. He looks forward to classes everyday after school. Lessons on the mat transfer to the real world. It's called human chess for a reason!

Our kids have learned so much here and it's so easy to find a class time that works with our schedule. They also offer multiple camps and competition training plus team building events. The facilities are very clean and there's plenty of seating. There's even a separate room for siblings to hang out so they're not disturbing the students on the mat. Parking is a bit tough because it's a smaller parking lot with bustling businesses next door so it helps to get here early.

I've been curious about Jiu Jitsu for a long time and always wanted to learn. Never could bring…read moremyself to walk through the doors due to being intimidated. I finally took the first step and chose to try a class here one hot summer day 3 years ago. When I started looking at different gyms, most of them never revealed the price of membership. A lot of gyms want you to come in first and sit you down to discuss fees. However, when I looked at 10th Planet MV, I really appreciated the transparency of membership, which made it a no brainer to sign up for a trial class. My first day, I was welcomed with a handshake and introduction by Coach Matt. Big points since I've visited other gyms where the owner doesn't even acknowledge potential members. At first, I was nervous walking in at rooster weight seeing the big cats on the mat. As the class went on, I got more comfortable and realized my Muay Thai won't do well on the ground like Rodtang vs DJ. Everyone here is welcoming and takes care of each other. Coach Matt is great at explaining techniques that make it easier to learn even without prior martial arts experience. All the coaches here are happy to answer questions you may have. Coming here feels like going to your friend's house, where you feel welcomed and at home. Other gyms I've tried felt like going to your snooty aunt's house where you feel judged and compared to your cousin who just met a lawyer from Georgetown University who has a Condo in Maryland and they're getting married soon but delaying due to prior.... I'm getting off topic. Basically, 10th Planet MV is a great place to learn jiu jitsu whether you have no experience in martial arts or want to level up your existing skills. You will learn, you will be tested against yourself, and you will meet great people.

We came from Gracie Barra Headquarters, I was there for 4 years before I decided to switch to AOJ. It was the BEST decision I've made in regards to BJJ training. I love everything about AOJ, the classes, the professors, the facility the bathroom! They are often cleaning the mats, windows, bathrooms. The Professors are all highly skilled and the techniques they teach are so much more complex but they break it down so it's easier to understand. I love how the kids group is separated into smaller clusters giving kids more personalized training. AOJ encourages kids to train multiple classes a day/week if they are able to, our previous school limited kids to 2 classes a week. Not bashing GB but they are more of a intro to JJ school, AOJ is more focused on detailed/higher level instruction.

Professor Less is an incredible teacher, but what truly sets this place apart--especially since Valor opened--is the sense of community it has created.

We couldn't recommend this club more highly, and we're so grateful to be part of it. On a personal note, both my husband and I have recently started taking classes as well--and we absolutely love it!

I enrolled both of my daughters at Gracie Barra after a scary situation made us realize how…read moreimportant it was for them to feel safe and confident. Before signing up, we checked out a few other BJJ and Muay Thai gyms around Irvine, Tustin and Laguna Hills, and this one stood out as the best fit for kids by far. The staff is so professional and friendly, and the curriculum is really well structured. The demonstrations are clear and easy for my girls to follow, which made a big difference for us. Both of my daughters love Professor Mason and Panda and always tell me they're the best. One thing we didn't expect but really appreciate is the red card. My girls also do competitive swimming, so we travel a lot for meets, and the red card lets them train at other Gracie Barra locations while we're on the road. That's been such a nice bonus. We've already recommended Gracie Barra to our family and friends. If you're looking for a welcoming place for your kids to build confidence and skills, this is it.

One day, I finally gave in to his persistence, attended a trial class, and ended up signing up the very next week. Every day on the mat is a learning experience, and training at Gracie Barra has instilled a strong sense of discipline in me. The professors are incredibly kind and patient. Even if I've practiced a drill countless times and still forget a step, they make sure I feel comfortable and always guide me through it. I genuinely look forward to every class and deeply appreciate the amazing professors and training partners who have become friends along the way. I highly recommend this Gracie Barra location to anyone looking to start Jiu-Jitsu.
