From the reviews

At 46yrs old with 0.00 grappling experience to say I was nervous to embark on the Jiu Jitsu journey is an understatement to say the least. After my 1st class in July I was absolutely hooked and have been religiously going 4-5 times a week.

★★★★★ — Adam, Nov 2021

The best jiu-jitsu gym in the area. Coach Peter is one of Michigan's best martial arts minds. In sharp contrast to many other jiu-jitsu schools, 10th Planet Royal Oak focuses on combative concepts and systems over random techniques.

★★★★★ — Tharron, Nov 2021

I've tried several gyms in the past on my journey to lose weight and get in shape. The first day I stepped into this gym I was welcomed with open arms. Being an older and heavier person I had my own self doubts but Peter and Sara encouraged me and worked with me to overcome those self doubts.

★★★★★ — Greg, Oct 2019

I have tried a few different gyms and finally found 10th Planet Royal Oak! I have been going here for several months and it is by far the best gym I’ve been too. From day one I felt very welcomed (even as a beginner). Peter, Sara and Alec are the best coaches around!

New to muay thai? Start at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Royal Oak

10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Royal Oak comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Royal Oak

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
