👍👍 There are good coaches in this world, and then there are GREAT coaches! Coach Ronnie Labella is one of those Great coaches, which is why I travel over 20 miles to have my 7 year old daughter learn Jiu-Jitsu from him. If you were to take your favorite childhood teacher, a professional Jiu-Jitsu athle... People often mention great, classes, coaches, learn, coach, class, staff,

    There are good coaches in this world, and then there are GREAT coaches! Coach Ronnie Labella is one of those Great coaches, which is why I travel over 20 miles to have my 7 year old daughter learn Jiu-Jitsu from him. If you were to take your favorite childhood teacher, a professional Jiu-Jitsu athlete, an Olympic Coach that majored in child developmental psychology (like Michael Phelp's Coach) and toss them into a blender, you would create Coach Ronnie Labella! My daughter LOVES learning from coach Ronnie and I'm willing to bet that your child will too! I taught competitive swimming for over 10 years to children and I would pay over $400 every year to attend conferences, in order to learn from coaches that competed at the State, National and Olympic level. Coach Ronnie has many of the attributes those accomplished coaches have, e.g. vast knowledge, effective communication, passion, great listening skills, patience, empathy, and the ability to inspire and let his athletes know that he cares about how they feel on and off the Jiu-Jitsu mat. So if you want your child to learn from a coach that focuses on increasing self confidence, genuinely listens and makes children feel valued, effectively communicates and helps young athletes master proper Jiu-Jitsu technique, then you would put your child in coach Ronnie's class today! P.S. Both my daughter and I are very fortunate and grateful for having found coach Ronnie. The only thing more powerful than his Jiu-Jitsu submissions, is his level of kindness and ability to be an incredible and positive role model to this world!

    This is the place you want to come to train, wether it’s for jujitsu, Muy Thai, yoga, or MMA in general. The guy that runs that place, Josh, is a great guy and he also hops in classes sometimes to teach you some crazy moves. It’s a great learning environment to learn and better your technique to be the best you can be. PJ and Andy are some of the instructors and they constantly tell you to keep coming as much you can because they genuinely want you to become better at what you want to do. I just started coming in the beginning of January and I am just learning jujitsu but the instructors keep an eye on you to make sure you continue to get better. I love this place and I try to come to as many classes as I can because it’s fun to be here and get better with everyone else. All are welcome here and for that I am thankful.

    I highly recommend this gym/location to everyone. The first time I went to check out the gym I had a great experience. Josh assisted me with any questions I had and talked a little bit about the classes and gave me a tour. Everyone were very friendly, I remember PJ asking me to join the class and Andy as well. I really wanted to take boxing classes but I ended up falling in love with Jiu Jitsu. About the location, honestly, is great! Gym is very clean and neat, plenty of parking and bathrooms and showers are always immaculate. Five stars to the staff as well! Very humble instructors and students. So, you should definitely check out this 10th planet location. You are welcome.

    We recently visited and took a class with Josh. For those of you who don't know, 10th planet only does no gi jiu jitsu. They have a chalk board with daily drills and they do pretty solid warm up drills. Our class was small but that meant we had quite a bit of one on one attention from the coach (or professor not sure how they address higher belts and black belts). I suppose the only confusion was knowing what anybody's rank was to line up or address teachers. Other than that, we had a great training session.

    10th planet is an Awesome place to train, All the Instructors are very helpful and friendly. Help desk is always available in the case you have any questions. In the short time that I have been here I’ve gained flexibility, strength, cardio, coordination and also learned a lot about the intricacies of MMA. The jiu jitsu coach, PJ Barch is not only very knowledgeable but also a great instructor. He really knows how to explain the moves so that any level of experience can understand it. The people in class are always helping each other to get better. The best thing about 10th planet is that you can really tell that they want you to succeed because the staff really make an effort to learn everyone names and they are also always helping you stay motivated to comeback. If your goal is to lose weight or to learn how to defend yourself or you are just looking for a place to help you stay motivated and exercise regularly the 10th planet is perfect for you.

    Awesome location. Amazing staff. Always helpful and friendly. Huge facility is well-maintained. Several classes and price options to choose from. They are more than willing to work with you if you have questions. These guys have taken great care of me. Get your butt in the gym and get to work! Ladies, this means you too! The gym is female friendly. Very safe and professional staff and environment. 🥊🥊

    I just moved to San Diego and visited a lot of MMA gyms. This is by far the cleanest, friendliest, most well-equipped one that I visited. The instructors are all fighters with years of experience. They just opened, but they're hitting the ground running with amazing ideas on how to make the gym better. I'm looking forward to being a part of their growth. I recommend them to anyone interested in fighting, getting stronger or just looking for a fun way to lose weight.
