I trained under Denny for something like 18 months ish and only left due to location. I love this school. On any given day you will receive very high level instruction, very effective jiu jitsu, compatible in the constantly changing modern jiu jitsu world. While I was there I trained kettle bells and gained 10 lbs of muscle. GAIIINS son!!! Last but not least Denny is a really, really fun guy and he cares deeply about his students Jimmy is also hilarious. Osssssssss

Dropped in for 2 classes during my vacation in San Francisco. Denny was very welcoming and all the guys there were very friendly. Denny is not only a very experienced grappler, he also teaches jiu jitsu with passion in a very pedagogical way. I will definitely visit again when i come back to San Fransisco!

This is a good school and the owner, Kasey, has a positive outlook on life as well as a good understanding of how to properly deal with children.
His daughter often helps out with the younger children as well. She is a patient and quick to smile.
Both Coach Noel and Coach Andrew are very knowledgeable and highly skilled in JiuJitsu.
If you have concerns or complaints I would encourage you directly contact the owner Kasey. Most likely he's already working on it.

A great school with a great vibe. I dropped by here this past June when I was in San Fran for a few days. Recently, I was back in San Fran for a tournament and ran into a bunch of the grapplers from here at the tourney. ALL of them said what's up and chatted it up a bit. I can't tell you how highly that made me feel about the quality of people that train at this school. Great people, Great Grappling! If you're looking for a place to train or if you're like me and find yourself in the area for a few days, you need to DEFINITLEY check this place out!

No-gi Jiu-jitsu at it's best.
At 10th Planet Sf you get a world champion black-belt instructor in the groundbreaking 10th Planet system that is there every day, personally leading every class. I have never seen a jiu-jitsu instructor take his students as seriously and as personally as Denny does. Nor have I seen anyone coach his students through the often complex and hard to grasp technique as well as he does.
On top of that, you get an awesome group of people. The atmosphere in 10th planet is extremely conducive to learning - everyone trains hard, real hard, but it's a largely ego-free environment

Denny has been an on again, off again no gi coach for me since I attended an Eddie Bravo seminar in 2007 and he was Bravo's demonstration partner. You get good at what you do, and Denny has been exclusive no gi since belt - and he's Eddie's first black belt. I wish I hadn't devoted my time to the gi, because Denny's has mad details and teaching skills.
Plus, his academy is supportive and friendly.
Props!

I walked into 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu SF about 2 years ago and was welcomed like family. Denny is an exceptional teacher with a long history of success in the competition world. He is very detailed and patient with his students and is filled with years of experience. The new location is set up well with onsite showers and mats wall to wall. I recommend 10th Planet Jiu JItsu SF to everyone I talk to. 10PFL!!

Anytime I am in SF I have to go see Denny to check out the latest techniques and train he is up to. Denny might be young but he has years and years of experience on the mat. The guy is a Phnom. He is master Eddie Bravo's first black belt and youngest I believe too. Multiple time world champion!
I never miss a class here and if you are lucky enough to live in the area I HIGHLY suggest training here.
