10th Planet Van Nuys Youth Jiu-Jitsu is part of a family-run academy established in 2010 in Van Nuys, CA, and is described as Van Nuys’ premier no-gi jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai academy. The program is part of the world-renowned 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system founded by Eddie Bravo and uses a modern, fight-tested no-gi system used by world champions and UFC athletes. The academy offers 30+ classes per week, has programs for ages 5 through adult, provides a Small Group Intro as a personalized, low-pressure, beginner-friendly way to learn jiu-jitsu, and offers a first class free. The culture is described as no-ego and no-attitude, where everyone is welcome, with a focus on real combat and self-defense rather than point fighting.

Seven dedicated coaches with deep experience in jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai lead training at the academy. The stated mission is to equip every student, from first-day white belt to seasoned competitor, with the skills, mindset, and community to thrive on the mats and in life.

10th Planet Van Nuys serves students from across the San Fernando Valley and regularly draws students from nearby neighborhoods including Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Lake Balboa, Reseda, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, North Hollywood, Studio City, Valley Glen, Valley Village, Panorama City, North Hills, Northridge, Winnetka, Canoga Park, West Hills, Granada Hills, Mission Hills, and Arleta.

Parent and student reviews describe the gym as an outstanding training environment with great training, gear, and culture, and recommend it to others in the Valley. Reviews also mention a great community, tough training partners, and great coaches, and note that members have returned after time away from training and remained happy with the coaches and culture. One parent reports that the kids’ program turned her son into a focused, respectful young man, and another reviewer states that after starting as a complete beginner, they felt welcome from the first day and are now in the best shape of their life.
