From the reviews
Scott was at my very first class with Eddie Bravo when there was just one location in LA. He forgot more about nogi than most teachers know. He runs a great program. His teaching style is fun, engaging and and most importantly effective. He turns out great Jiu Jitzu player with good attitudes.
I'm the kind of person who does extensive research before committing to anything. My oldest daughter wanted to be an MMA fighter, so I sent her to 10th Planet West LA to learn jiu jitsu. She had multiple fights &...wins :) Years later I decided i wanted to learn jiu jitsu at 49 years old.
10th Planet West LA jiu Jitsu is the premier gym in Los Angeles for anyone who is wanting to get into shape, get stronger, build more confidence, and learn all the new modern developments of the growing sport of jiu jitsu.
Very stoked to have the opportunity to train nogi jiujitsu here in the West LA / Beverly Hills area with the 10th planet West Los Angeles . I’ve been training for years and tried quite a few other gyms. Scott has a staff talented staff with knowledge and experience that is hard to find in other places.
New to muay thai? Start at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu - West LA
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu - West LA 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 - West LA
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.
