If you’re around South Bay area thinking about No-gi jiu jitsu (submission grappling), just want to try a martial art, or some form of self-defense, then 10th planet Torrance is the place to be.

I recently tried out the women’s class at Tenth Planet and really have enjoyed my time here so far. Coach Kirsten who teaches the women’s classes is an amazing teacher. From the beginning she was very patient with me in terms of explaining the warm ups and techniques since although I have some background Jiu Jitsu experience each gym has a different approach and teaching style. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is able to break down techniques in a way that helps you understand when to use them and how to use them. She can give tips and point out small adjustments in your technique that make a big difference in execution. The culture is very welcoming and warm and there was a sense of camaraderie and community which is wonderful no matter one’s level. The place is clean and well kept. Any questions I have had Coach Kirsten has been very responsive and supportive. Highly recommend!

A great place to learn the true “art” of Jiu-Jitsu! I’ve been training here for a little over 6 months now and have learned more than I could’ve possibly imagined in that time span! It has helped with my self confidence, and increased my cardio and skill set dramatically. When I started I weighed around 245lbs and have dropped down to 210-215 since then! Sensei Marvin is intense, but very detail oriented and all he wants to do is push you to be your best. Coach Kay has a wealth of knowledge as well and runs her classes smooth and efficient. Both coaches are always open to answering any questions you may have and working with you! Not only does this academy offer Jiu-Jitsu they are one of the few academies to offer Sambo and Wrestling, as well as a brand new kickboxing class on Fridays!
My 11 year old has been training here about a year and my 13 year old has been training here about 6 months. Aside from it being their getaway from anything else going on with pre teens, it’s given my girls confidence and knowledge and above all respect. The way coach Kay and Sensei Marvin teach at this academy is unreal… I started training around their age and I truly can say my daughters have learned more in a year than I learned in my first couple years… the knowledge and repetition and all around want for these kids to improve and succeed is unmatched… if you’ve got a young kid thinking about getting into jiujitsu or you’re an adult trying to find something new in the area… this is the place! If you’re not from the area I’d still recommend the drive… best decision I ever made for my kids.
10th Planet is a fantastic gym that truly sets itself apart in the area. One of its unique strengths is the emphasis on standing techniques, which many other BJJ gyms often overlook. This focus addresses one of the biggest gaps in traditional BJJ and sets the gym apart. The instructors here also prioritize high-percentage submissions, ensuring that what you learn is both practical and effective. Beyond the excellent teaching, the community is incredibly welcoming and supportive, making it a great environment for practitioners of all levels. If you’re looking for a gym that combines high-quality instruction, a focus on often-overlooked aspects of the art, and a friendly atmosphere, 10th Planet is hands-down one of the best places to train in Jiu-Jitsu.
