10th Planet Jiu Jitsu - Phoenix

John is by far the best Jiu Jitsu coach in the Valley, wouldn't train anywhere else because of the environment he provides for us. His passion for the 10th planet system and Jiu jitsu is what had me hooked when I was recommended his school in 2020 from my prior time training No-Gi at Arizona Combat sports and haven't looked back since. Training with John you will never be left not understanding anything he teaches, his attention to detail, and technique are next level impressive and it's what has me going to class daily, thank you so much for all you do! Would 20/10 recommended this school to anyone looking to train No-Gi or someone looking to try something new!

10th Planet Phoenix has been an amazing experience for our family. My niece absolutely loves training there — the environment is positive, structured, and high-level while still being welcoming. When my boys came through to train, John welcomed them with open arms and treated them like part of the team right away. He even took time to break down details from the north-south position and gave them some valuable insight they’ve already started applying in their game. That kind of attention and willingness to pour into visiting athletes speaks volumes about the culture there. Great coaching, strong room, and an even better vibe. We truly appreciate the hospitality and look forward to training there again.

This was such a fun gym. My daughters and I dropped in to train while we were in town on vacation. Super clean academy, incredibly welcoming crew, and tough rounds. And we casually bumped shoulders with Jiu Jitsu legends John Botello and Felicia Oh. Both were so kind, and approachable. We had a blast and we can’t wait to be back.

John Botello is one of the best instructors when it comes to Jiu Jitsu, and obviously a total master of the no-gi 10th Planet system. The community at 10th planet is full of wonderful people as well, everyone is very chill and respectful. I highly recommend checking out 10th planet if you are looking to learn the sport of Jiu Jitsu and make new friends

Professor John Botello provided exceptional private training sessions to our 11-year-old daughter, a yellow-black belt, at 10th Planet Phoenix. His instruction was clear, patient, and detail-focused, and he tailored the sessions to our daughter’s skill level and helped make real improvements in her technique. The school has a welcoming atmosphere, and you can tell they care about their students’ progress. Highly recommend training here!
