From the reviews
Small but very welcoming gym. Matt and his team of coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. I like the blend of techniques - going over standing wrestling and judo techniques for example that are often neglected at other gyms I've been to. I also appreciate the level of general atmosphere that is cultivated.
As a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu, I recently had the opportunity to train at 10th Planet Mission Viejo. I must say, I was very impressed with the facility and the quality of instruction. The gym was well-equipped, with clean/new mats and some workout equipment. It was very clean and well-maintained.
My 9 and 6 year old daughters started going here since the opening. I am so glad my husband did a ton of research and found 10th Planet and Matt! I love the variety like wrestling, Gi and no Gi JJ, Muay Thai and Judo. Matt is very professional and the coaches are top notch!
My wife and I started training jiu-jitsu about 18+ months ago and chose 10th Planet Mission Viejo as our start. We can honestly say had we not started at 10th Planet Mission Viejo we may not have continued to train.
New to muay thai? Start at 10th Planet Mission Viejo
10th Planet Mission Viejo comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Mission Viejo
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.
