10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Walnut Creek

Clean and safe place to train. Highly recommended for people with or without martial arts experience.

We have been going to 10th Planet for three years now. Great and safe environment for the children. We started in Tiny Tigers and now graduated to kids jiu-jitsu. Couldn't ask for a greater learning experience for our 7 year old.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Walnut Creek is lucky to have such professional and high level instruction in Alex Canders, who is well known in the jiu jitsu scene. This means it is suitable for beginners as well. 10P is not my home school but I was warmly welcomed AND as a woman, felt comfortable with a room full of guys who were respectful, kind, and knowledgeable. The instruction was a little different that I am used to in that Alex walked everyone through step by step in real time, which I found highly effective for learning... I even tried the new move I learned on Wednesday in a tournament that Friday

One of the best I know. Probably the best in the bay area. Everyone is super serious and committed to BJJ. At the same time very friendly and safe. You can also learn kickboxing here.
I highly recommend if you are interested in martial arts. You don't want to miss this one!

Been training here 6 months so far and I've developed a healthy respect for Coach Alex as an instructor and small-business owner. Here is a person who obviously cares passionately about his students, the martial art and the community we have here at the training center. I've met a lot of good people here who are respectful, eager to help you learn and just fun to be around. BJJ is a challenge and requires a lot of personal responsibility in the realms of attention, humility and the safety of you and your training partners, which is why I'm very grateful I found Coach Alex and this gym to help start

I started training with Alex around 5 years ago and as of a month ago 2 of my boys are also training with him. I come to this gym because of his constant desire to teach and learn new things. Alex considers himself to always be learning and he passes that along to the students all the time. The adult classes are full of good guys and girls who are always safe and respectful. It's a rare thing to have an entire room of grapplers and there isn't a single person in the room that I don't trust to roll safely.

I've been training at 10th planet Walnut Creek for the last 4 months. Alex Canders is an incredible teacher, very detail oriented with very precise instruction. Alex as well as the other coaches Dom and Corbin make jiu jitsu easy to understand, and always make safety the highest priority. The gym has an awesome enviorment, everyone is friendly and willing to help you as you progress. It's truly a great place to train and I would recommend it to anyone.

Great no-gi BJJ and kickboxing school. Alex is a solid teacher who is technical while being easy going at the same time. I like how I can learn both the striking and ground game all at one school. I've found my go-to school going forward.

Amazing instructor and just as amazing school environment! Very friendly and open to anyone that wants to start their jiu jitsu journey. Alex is spectacular with his attention to detail and his ability to break down a very difficult move into simple easy to follow steps.

Alex has created a safe, friendly, well-matted (great jiu jitsu mats mean a lot!) environment in which to learn no gi Brazilian jiu jitsu. No gi is easier on your hands (gi style is heavily dependent on vise-like grips on the jiu jitsu uniform). 10th Planet is THE place to train if you want a lot of no gi classes, simply because gi academies don't usually offer many no gi classes. Alex's game is really complete - all the leg, ankle, heel, and toehold attacks and defenses you could ever ask for, plus all the upper body attacks and defenses, with equal emphasis guard work and guard passing.
