I was visiting Huntington Beach for a Celebration of Life for a Good Family member that left us recently, I train Gi and NO-Gi Jiu-Jitsu a couple of times a week when I travel for work or family. I do my best to stay consistent. The Owner Ron Turner, and his Head Coach Ryan, are incredible at making Ronin Jiu-Jitsu Nerds like me Welcome. Lucky for me we were going over Choi Bar Entries, so I wasn't drowning in Jiu-Jitsu systems i don't understand or are trying to learn on the fly. Ryan and his team were extremely kind and patient with me, especially when I told them I was just coming off knee surgery, the Rolls where very hard, and I appreciate that. I definitely got better in my short time with this team, when I'm back in town, I'll definitely be dropping in, thank you 10P and Ron who let me train with the team.
10th planet Jiu Jitsu has been one of the greatest sport + community experiences I have had. I learn under Coach Wes, and he is THE MAN! I have grown so much under his teaching as a jujitsu practitioner over the past 8 months thanks to him. His attention to detail, working with you step by step through each move, and highly encouraging attitude has really made all the difference. I highly recommend you make it to his classes!!! On top of the coaching Ive received from Wes, I've gotten to meet and roll with people from all walks of life and build friendships I wouldn't have if it wasn't for joining 10th Planet Costa Mesa. The environment here is highly supportive, highly encouraging, and competitive, to say the least. Also, as far as cleanliness goes, this gym is on top of making sure the mats are clean. I personally see the mats cleaned properly at the end of practice. So, if you want to have a great time and learn/roll with high-level people and not worry about getting an infection then this is your spot!
Dropped in for Sunday open mat and Jamie was very helpful making sure I got setup with waivers and got some good rolls in. I come from a more traditional gym and this was my first time visiting another so I was slightly nervous but he did a great job of making me feel comfortable. Jon was also super responsive over email when I had questions ahead of time.Overall great experience and will definitely be back when I’m in town.
