Traveling from Ohio and dropped in for a class. I couldn’t say enough good things about this gym. Super welcoming and friendly group of guys. Chris is a really knowledgeable instructor and takes the time to help everyone individually. Great place for a beginner to learn self defense/martial arts but also for competitive practitioners to train! Thanks guys!

When I walked in for the first time, I knew where my 2nd home would be. 10th Planet is a jiu jitsu program founded by Eddie Bravo. You learn how to defend yourself-(when needed)-. There are rules for using jiu jitsu outside of the gym.
NEVER say that you are tired! You will receive a "Run untill your not tired!". This place treats you like family. The coaches train students with one-on-one comunication and the whole class at once. There aren't any medals/belts given out untill age 16. I recommend this class for ALL ages!
Pls join! It's worth the time and money!

Great place all around! You get 3 free trial classes. They do much more than just Jiu-Jitsu. Affordable, clean gym, the athletes in the gym are very nice and friendly and will help you with any questions that you might have. Great owner, and many more great things about this gym. Go give it a try today! You won’t be disappointed.

I was in town for work and called this gym to see if they allowed walk ins. I spoke with Chris, the instructor, who was super friendly and encouraged me to come on in to train. I have primarily trained in the Gi for the past two years so Nogi is still relatively unfamiliar. Chris and the students were super accommodating and even took time after class and rolls to explain more of the 10th Planet System. If you are passing through or live in the area I would highly recommend this school.

I was traveling through the Muscle Shoals area today, and saw this school. So I called their number and asked if I could attend a class as a guest. The instructor welcomed me with open arms, and then, because it was a smaller class tonight, spent most of the time personally instructing me and working on any questions I had. One of the best Jiu Jitsu experiences I have ever had!
*edit: I have been back numerous times since my original post and I still love this place. Chris is an excellent instructor and everyone there always makes me feel very welcomed. I tend to get tapped a lot, as I don't really

Fantastic experience for the entire 8 months my 11 year old daughter has been learning here. We tried every sport, and nothing clicked like Jiu Jitsu. Great coaches, fun atmosphere, accepting community feeling. I’ve enjoyed it so much, I started going myself to adult Jiu Jitsu classes. We are thrilled to have them in the Shoals.

I had a work trip near Muscle Shoals so I popped in to check this place out. The second I walked through the door I was welcomed and then introduced to everyone. The coaching was detailed and intelligent. I walked away with a couple more tools for my game from just one class. I will be stopping by anytime I’m in the area. Anyone beginner or advanced should do the same if you are interested in Jiu Jitsu.

My whole family participates in the classes offered here. My husband has been training jiu jitsu for about 6 months and loves it. He and his teammates are tough and determined, but extremely welcoming. Both of my daughters (8 and 11) have been training here under Coach Chris for 2 years. The confidence and discipline that they have learned has made them pretty tough competitors, but they have made some great friends along the way. I attend the new fitness kickboxing classes, which are tough but fun. I always leave feeling like I had an amazing workout. This place has improved our lives in both

Wonderful instructors who truly care about the growth and wellbeing of their students. My kids love going to their youth jiu jitsu class and have gained not only physical skills but confidence as well. It has been the best sport in physical and emotional growth for our children, and 10th planet muscle shoals as provided a safe and encouraging environment for them to practice.
