Those are the words of Adam Sachnoff, 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu San Mateo founder and owner. Before finding Jiu Jitsu, Adam struggled with low confidence, poor body image, and a lack of direction. I was on a path to self-destruction. I was over 300 lbs and depressed. After my first Jiu-Jitsu class, I was hooked.

I'm very new to jiu jitsu and it has been a really great experience with amazing coaches. Welcoming environment for beginners with fundamental classes, all-lvl classes and also child classes. Their schedule provides a lot of different times for anyone working or busy lives. If you're on the fence about trying something new I definitely recommend the trial class and stepping out of your comfort zone. I only wish I had signed up sooner. If you're not new like I am it seems like you would have a lot of experienced partners to drill with and excellent coaching staff to learn from.

If you want to get good very fast, this is the place to get the most value immediately. one year here will make you amazing compared to a year anywhere else. I truly believe this and felt it when the white belts were kicking my butt.
Every class has so much content and useful details, its like a seminar in every class! The content is very technical. The instructors and members dont pressure people to roll excessively if not comfortable or just not up to it, and plenty of people who want to drill vs sparring.
All the higher belts are super helpful and so gently beat you up, its wonderful :D

10th Planet SM is a fantastic academy. The instructors are skilled technically and do a great job communicating the techniques in each class. The training partners are great too, there is a sense of community at every class I attend. I started jiu jitsu late in life and in only two months went from knowing nothing about jits to feeling confident when I roll with other white/blue belts. I started my 3 year old daughter in the tiny jits class and she loves it and loves being able to do jiu jitsu with her Dad.

10th Planet San Mateo is an awesome place to learn jiu jitsu, and is home to a great community of people. It's a place where guys and girls from all walks of life come together to progress as grapplers and human beings. I came in with no grappling experience, but quickly fell in love with jiu jitsu at this gym. Training at 10th Planet San Mateo is now what I look forward to the most on a daily basis. Beginners are eased in, and safety is a big priority. Signing up for this gym was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I'd highly recommend it to others.

My kids train there. They have a great kids program!
The instructors teach their little students BJJ techniques, and also lessons important for life: focus, determination and hard work, though, the latter feels like playing games with Adam and crew!
The program is elaborate, with sessions ranging from drills to sparring for kids. It is a relaxed atmosphere and safe for kids.
Through hard work, and learning to challenge themselves, my kids are learning a lot and having fun!

I’ve been training at 10p San Mateo for a year now and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Adam and Alan are world class instructors and competitors. They’ve created an awesome environment for growth and development. There’s also many other great people to learn from at the gym, several I consider to be close friends. I’m very pleased with my experience at 10p SM and highly recommend.

I started training last September at 10th Planet San Mateo because I wanted to try something new. I never would have known I'd gain more than just the knowledge of Jiu Jitsu. This gym is like a family; Always welcoming and full of life! I've gained confidence, self-defense techniques, and a handful of friends as well. If you're debating on trying something new, all you need to do is take the first step and tryout a class, you won't regret it!

The number of positive reviews here speaks for itself! I’ve been with the gym a little over 2 years at the moment, and I can truly vouch for all of the praise. I came in with no sports or martial arts experience, but have now been able to walk around much lighter and healthier. Adam and his crew continue to cultivate highly skilled competitors while still prioritizing a very safe and supportive learning environment. His facility is also incredibly clean with tons of supplemental fitness equipment for kids as well as adults. The shower, changing rooms, easy parking, and variety of classes also
