From the reviews
Awesome culture, live rounds, and instruction! I'm a 25 year old competitive judo black belt and I go to a lot of nogi open mats around the country. The "10 Round Tuesdays" (10 consecutive 5 minute live rounds) at 10th Planet Orlando, that I've started going to for the past month, is definitely my favorite.
I had an incredible experience visiting 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Orlando. From the moment I walked in, the entire team made me feel welcomed—not just as a visitor, but like part of the crew. The atmosphere is both friendly and focused, creating a great balance between learning and training hard.
I have trained under a handful of black belts, and Ben is by far the best. He puts safety and smart training at the top of his priorities. Most credible fight coach around.
While in Orlando I dropped in to train here. Ben and his students were welcoming, and great training partners. Sparring was technical and tough, yet safe. I definitely recommend this dojo to those who would like to learn submission grappling.
New to muay thai? Start at 10th Planet Orlando Jiu Jitsu
10th Planet Orlando Jiu Jitsu 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 Orlando Jiu Jitsu
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.
