Book a free 30-minute Beginner Setup at 10th Planet Van Nuys.
You’ll meet with a coach in a private or small-group setting, learn the basics, understand the etiquette, and walk into your first real class already knowing what to expect.
No experience. No pressure.
Come solo or bring a friend.
Walking into a regular jiu jitsu class for the first time can feel intimidating.
You don’t know the warm-ups
You don’t know where to stand.
You don’t know the etiquette.
You don’t know who to partner with.
And you definitely don’t want to feel like everyone else already knows what they’re doing.
Open to ages 14 and up
That’s why we created the Beginner Setup: a free 30-minute intro session designed to take the unknown out of your first day.
By the end, you’ll know the room, the routine, and the basics... so your first real class feels familiar instead of overwhelming.

You don't know the warm-ups. You don't know the etiquette. You don't know who to partner with or what they're about to do to you.
That hesitation is the #1 reason most people who want to try jiu jitsu never actually start. So we built something different.
A free 30-minute intro session with no cost, no card, and no commitment
Coach-led basics so you’re not trying to figure things out by watching from the back
Simple beginner movement: stance, breakfalls, and basic body positioning
Mat etiquette: where to stand, how to partner, how class flows, and what’s expected
A small-room environment: just you, you and a friend, or a small group of beginners
Real answers to the questions that have been stopping you from starting
A clear next step if you decide you want to keep training
Open to ages 14 and up.
Three steps. Zero pressure.
1. Reserve your free spot
Choose Monday or Wednesday at 7:00 PM. We'll confirm the same day.
2. Show up solo or with a friend.
Wear comfortable workout clothes. Shorts and a t-shirt are fine. We'll guide you from there.
3. Leave knowing what's next
You’ll understand the basics, the room, and the flow of class. If you want to continue, we’ll show you membership options and beginner-friendly next steps. No pressure.
This is for you if...
You’ve wanted to try jiu jitsu but didn’t want to walk into a packed room cold
You’re worried about looking lost in your first class
You don’t know the etiquette and don’t want to accidentally do the wrong thing
You’d feel better starting with a coach, a friend, or a few other beginners
You want to see the gym and ask questions before committing to anything
No. This session is designed for people with zero background in jiu jitsu.
Athletic clothes you can move in — shorts and a t-shirt are fine. We'll provide everything else.
It's an intro session. The focus is on getting you comfortable with the basics, the room, and the routine, not formal one-on-one instruction. You can do it solo, or with a friend at no cost.
14 and up.
We'll walk you through our membership options. If you want extra support starting out, we'll also share our Fast Track training packages.
Yes. Free. No card, no commitment.
Mondays at 7:00 PM Wednesdays at 7:00 PM
The mat's not going anywhere. But the seasons keep changing and "I'll start eventually" eventually becomes next year. So let's not wait for forever. Don't let hesitation be the reason you never started. Thirty minutes. No pressure. One small step that makes the next one feel easy.
