From the perspective of a man that doesn't practice jiu jitsu but has a 4yo in the class. This place is amazing. They work hard to cultivate a sense of community. It's always clean. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. The instructors have basically unlimited patience with my son who has really bad adhd. Can not say enough good things about this place. I wish I had the time to commit to learning myself.

The space is awesome, you would be hard pressed to find a gym with a higher concentration of top tier talent to learn from. There are classes for all ages with head coach and owner PJ Barch who is one of the best BJJ competitors in the world, and team. The 10p South Bay coaches are a group who still compete at the highest level while constantly sharpening their own game and sharing what they learn with their students. Choosing this school is a guaranteed way to level up your jiu jitsu, or guarantee that you build a strong base as a beginner. 10/10 would recommend.

I emailed a few weeks ago, letting them know I was coming into town. They were very prompt in getting back to me upon arrival at the facility, I was greeted by a front desk person who was very helpful in showing me around the gym and discussing different payment structures and showing me immediately what the class schedule. They were also able to give me a full month price at the normal membership price, which was super nice of them. I’ve been mainly going to the level two classes and I’ve been finding them extraordinarily helpful to my game. All the teachers here at this location have been very informative, impatient, and always willing to show Little tiny corrections. The whole team seems to be very well organized, and very respectful. As somebody passing through, I would definitely come back and revisit this gym when I do leave.

10 Planet South Bay is the perfect fit for anyone seeking to level up their Jui Jitsu game. I appreciate the level of instruction and the experience, and the efficiency 10PSB coaching staff offers us . All of our coaches are down to earth people and compete in top echelon of the game. The classes are motivating and well planned. The training schedules are flexible to meet my personal needs and goals. The built-in amenities (showers and water available)is an added bonus. The overall cleanliness of the gym on point.Centrally located in downtown Chula Vista .I genuinely look forward to training and enjoy all the experiences and walks of life my training partners bring to the gym. I am grateful I’ve found a gym and community that values wellness, self-care, and health for life!
