They got everything. They got an old John Malkovich type, they got a 21 year old Opie purple belt on growth hormones, a Mexican who used to train in orange county, (we got an Italian guy like that) that kid who's momma took Tylenol. Un cuban con bigote. And a whole mess of young 1 year white belts who ask mature and sophisticated questions. A water fountain. Clean MATS! If you're a 10p traveler it's a straight up iykyk. Similar vibe to 10th Planet Dublin. And ditto and same same on all the other reviews. If any y'all make it to KC come check out my home gym 10th Planet Kansas City.. thanks Coach!
Adrian and Holly run incredible programs. They're both tough as nails but still make everyone feel supported and motivated. Adrian's energy keeps you pushing harder, and Holly's quiet strength keeps you grounded (while probably tapping you out). The gym has an awesome mix of hard training, good laughs, and real community. You'll leave every class a little stronger and a lot happier.
This gym is fantastic! The atmosphere is laid back, and everyone is friendly and welcoming. I’ve only studied jiu-jitsu here, but they also offer Muay Thai, Wrestling, and Strength & Conditioning classes, which I’ve heard great things about. I’ve learned from AJ and Kevin and both those guys are excellent instructors who take the time to explain each technique clearly and in detail. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train in a positive and supportive environment.
The coaches are legit, the training is top-tier, and the atmosphere is motivating. Whether you're a beginner or a fighter, you'll get better everyday and the best part - my whole family participates. My wife, daughter and son all train here, push each other, and have blast. It's more than a gym - it's a place for your whole family!
