I’ve been training at this Jiu-Jitsu gym for over seven years, and it’s hard to put into words how much this place has shaped me. The culture here is something special, supportive, disciplined, competitive in the best way, and full of people who genuinely want to see each other grow. The atmosphere pushes you to evolve not just as a martial artist, but as a person. This gym has played a huge role in who I’ve become, and I’m grateful for every round, every lesson, and every moment on these mats. Highly recommend.

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.

Great experience. They welcomed me in even thought I had no clue what I was doing. This was my first day ever stepping into this type of place and they still provided knowledge and coaching. Thanks for a great intro to this and for patience and great teaching ability.

I’ve been training here since 2021. First & only gym I needed to check out. There is a full schedule of classes Sunday- Monday. I am one of the psychos who frequents the morning 7am classes and not only have these classes become my regular routine but the friendships and bonds I have made over the years have become things I look forward to in my week, love to wake up and see the boys! I don’t feel I have to emphasize the quality of jiu jitsu being taught. Scott, the owner, is 10th planets first 10p hall of famer and a 4th degree black belt under Eddie Bravo and so much more do your own research there! If you’re contemplating look no further this gym is legit with great all around knowledge in all aspects of MMA, specializing in no go jiu jitsu. There is men’s & women’s bathrooms with showers & ample parking including an underground garage. Come sign up, pull up to a morning class & choke me out we’re all friendly lol

10th Planet West LA is one of the best no-gi gyms in LA. Scott is an OG of the sport who is everything you want in a coach — he’s extremely detail oriented, cares a lot about his students and is unapologetically himself (plus he was in The Sopranos!). The culture at the gym is awesome, it’s an open environment where people are looking to get better and enjoy training. Everyone at the gym is friendly and easy to talk to, and there are like three showers which is a huge plus. Highly recommend this gym to anyone at any stage in their jiu-jitsu journey.
