They commanded respect and kept the classes organized without ever needing to raise their voice. Each student was given detailed guidance and encouragement, while also having freedom within set boundaries. The class structure helps set such a positive and comfortable environment. The classes were incredibly well run, and had the perfect balance of fun, discipline and structure. The management is also top-tier. We were only here for the summer (out of staters) and they worked with us to make it happen. We felt like we were part of their gym on day one. Looking forward to coming back next summer!

Staff is friendly and everyone is so kind. Everyone feels like family here and the kids all seems to have such a wonderful time. They offer 1:1, youth, and adult classes. This is a smaller location but the vibe is the best I've ever seen or felt. They offer a trial class and youth group classes are on the smaller side which is beneficial! Classes can be $100 a month for once a week, $155 for twice a month, or $185 for unlimited.

I messaged them about inviting some friends and neighbors to roll together. They opened their mat to us and we had a bunch of dad rolling together on a Friday evening. Thanks again Patrick and Ashleigh. You guys are the reason I got back into jiu jitsu.

Professor Less is an incredible teacher, but what truly sets this place apart--especially since Valor opened--is the sense of community it has created. Everyone here supports one another, helping the kids stay enthusiastic, motivated, and proud of their progress. It's truly inspiring to watch the children grow more confident and skilled over time. We couldn't recommend this club more highly, and we're so grateful to be part of it. On a personal note, both my husband and I have recently started taking classes as well--and we absolutely love it!

I've been curious about Jiu Jitsu for a long time and always wanted to learn. Never could bring…read moremyself to walk through the doors due to being intimidated. I finally took the first step and chose to try a class here one hot summer day 3 years ago. When I started looking at different gyms, most of them never revealed the price of membership. A lot of gyms want you to come in first and sit you down to discuss fees. However, when I looked at 10th Planet MV, I really appreciated the transparency of membership, which made it a no brainer to sign up for a trial class. My first day, I was welcomed with a handshake and introduction by Coach Matt. Big points since I've visited other gyms where the owner doesn't even acknowledge potential members. At first, I was nervous walking in at rooster weight seeing the big cats on the mat. As the class went on, I got more comfortable and realized my Muay Thai won't do well on the ground like Rodtang vs DJ. Everyone here is welcoming and takes care of each other. Coach Matt is great at explaining techniques that make it easier to learn even without prior martial arts experience. All the coaches here are happy to answer questions you may have. Coming here feels like going to your friend's house, where you feel welcomed and at home. Other gyms I've tried felt like going to your snooty aunt's house where you feel judged and compared to your cousin who just met a lawyer from Georgetown University who has a Condo in Maryland and they're getting married soon but delaying due to prior.... I'm getting off topic. Basically, 10th Planet MV is a great place to learn jiu jitsu whether you have no experience in martial arts or want to level up your existing skills. You will learn, you will be tested against yourself, and you will meet great people.

Had a kid and figured it was time to return and regain some of the health I had in my twenties. The experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The professor/coaches and sparring partners are all welcoming and push each other to improve skill and technique. Kids/juniors/teens classes are great. We signed up our 6 year old at the same time. He has learned self defense, humility, and confidence. He looks forward to classes everyday after school. Lessons on the mat transfer to the real world. It's called human chess for a reason!

I enrolled both of my daughters at Gracie Barra after a scary situation made us realize how…read moreimportant it was for them to feel safe and confident. Before signing up, we checked out a few other BJJ and Muay Thai gyms around Irvine, Tustin and Laguna Hills, and this one stood out as the best fit for kids by far. The staff is so professional and friendly, and the curriculum is really well structured. The demonstrations are clear and easy for my girls to follow, which made a big difference for us. Both of my daughters love Professor Mason and Panda and always tell me they're the best. One thing we didn't expect but really appreciate is the red card. My girls also do competitive swimming, so we travel a lot for meets, and the red card lets them train at other Gracie Barra locations while we're on the road. That's been such a nice bonus. We've already recommended Gracie Barra to our family and friends. If you're looking for a welcoming place for your kids to build confidence and skills, this is it.

One day, I finally gave in to his persistence, attended a trial class, and ended up signing up the very next week. Every day on the mat is a learning experience, and training at Gracie Barra has instilled a strong sense of discipline in me. The professors are incredibly kind and patient. Even if I've practiced a drill countless times and still forget a step, they make sure I feel comfortable and always guide me through it. I genuinely look forward to every class and deeply appreciate the amazing professors and training partners who have become friends along the way. I highly recommend this Gracie Barra location to anyone looking to start Jiu-Jitsu.
