10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Walnut Creek

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Walnut Creek has been a fixture in the Bay Area martial arts scene since 2014, bringing no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and striking to Walnut Creek under the guidance of coaches like Alex Canders. The academy was founded on the 10th Planet system, known for its modern grappling approach and emphasis on wrestling, leglocks, and submission-oriented training. The team’s mission is rooted in empowering students—children and adults alike—to develop confidence, discipline, and resilience on and off the mats. Classes at 10th Planet Walnut Creek are structured to support a wide range of goals, from self-defense and fitness to competition. The adult program includes fundamentals, advanced application sessions, and longer all-levels classes that blend core techniques with evolving strategies. For those interested in MMA, the gym offers a dedicated striking class that incorporates boxing, Muay Thai, and takedown integration, with a focus on the technical demands of the sport. Beginners can start with introductory classes designed to build foundational movement and safety before progressing to more challenging material. Youth programs start with Tiny Tigers for ages 4–6, where young students develop basic grappling and striking skills through games and partner drills. Kids Jiu Jitsu and Kids Striking classes are available for children ages 7 and up, with age-specific groups to ensure appropriate instruction and development. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and the environment is designed to welcome families and individuals at every stage of their martial arts journey.
