10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Las Vegas

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Las Vegas in Henderson is led by Casey Halstead, a third-degree black belt under Eddie Bravo and Jean Jacques Machado. Casey’s background in MMA coaching shapes the way classes are taught here—students get the real 10th Planet no-gi system, along with practical crossover skills for grappling and fighting. He’s joined on the mats by Andy Varela, a black belt, pro MMA fighter, and Gracie Nationals champion, as well as Valerie Wong, a black belt instructor focused on helping students progress at every stage. Training at this location means no uniforms, no gi—every class is built around no-gi techniques and the signature 10th Planet approach. The schedule covers all levels, with fundamentals for beginners, advanced sessions taught by competition veterans, and open mat times for extra practice. Andy Varela leads both the youth program and advanced training, bringing his experience from years of competing and coaching. Kids’ classes are available for ages 5 to 15, taught by instructors like Valerie Wong and Brady, with an emphasis on skill-building and character development. One membership gives access to all three 10th Planet Las Vegas locations, but Henderson has its own core group of coaches and regulars. Drop-ins are welcome, and the gym is wheelchair accessible. The focus is always on practical, creative grappling—whether someone is new to the mats or preparing for competition.
