If you’re looking to start somewhere, these are some of the nicest folks you can train with. Truly gentle giants.When mom was sick, I knew it would be hard. 10p SD was there for me. I was fat, depressed, weak. Still amBut the difference is that I met some amazing coaches that kept me from getting worse. I will be forever grateful for them and I will continue to put in the work- for others.I was terrified to come in my first day- because I knew it meant I had to be serious. And it was worth it. I was able to be strong enough for mama at the end, and to keep the positive energy that I’ll have forward.Small things, but I am super grateful.

Such an authentic gym, since the day i stepped in, I felt like family. Manolo with his great vibes always makes you laugh, great technique and mma classes! Richie is the coolest dude ever, along with Joe and Jacob, top notch jujitsu classes. Bill the owner did a great job building this gym!

Incredible gym for training! The gym's culture caters to everyone, from beginners to those aiming to compete. I've participated in nearly every class they offer, and I can confidently say there's no other gym quite like this one. Coach Manolo stands out as the finest Muay Thai, kickboxing, and self-defense coach I've ever worked with. On the jiu-jitsu side, Coach Richie Martinez's exceptional talent shines through, and his dedication to his students is truly remarkable. Without a doubt, I would wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone. A solid 10/10!

This fighting gym is like a second home to me. With outstanding BJJ classes guided by Boogie, and adrenaline-pumping MMA sessions with Manolo and the other highly-rated coaches, I couldn't ask for a better training experience. The welcoming atmosphere and expert guidance make it the ultimate place to refine skills and feel at home.

Worldly known jiu jitsu, with teachers and competitors that have been at the highest levels. However don't stop there, take advantage of the MMA and my personal favorite Muay Thai! Manolo Hernandez is the lead MMA coach who has gotten people started from the ground all the way to the UFC along with other big shows. Manolo is more than a hall of famer in San Diego who does professional matchmaking to give you the opportunities people dream of but he truly cares about your well being as a person and not just a fighter.Come be part of the team. When we win we win together and when we lose we're shoulder to shoulder. 10th planet San Diego is taking over, going to be easier to join us than beat us.

I was in San Diego from NYC for a month for work and was spoilt for choice on world-class gyms to train at, so I decided to try a few out and landed on 10P San Diego. This gym totally exceeded my expectations, and they were high to begin with! The community is so friendly and inviting, the training is the best I’ve found anywhere, and there are so many badass women of different sizes, specialties, and skill levels and women’s classes that are actually at normal class times and not at 7 AM on Sundays! Richie’s wife Nora is a black belt and is so unbelievably kind and she does an amazing job of fostering a great community of women. I’m not a mom myself but I noticed a lot of moms who trained there felt comfortable bringing their babies and young kids around, and I think that speaks to the safety and warmth of the environment.I cannot recommend this gym enough to visitors and locals alike. My only gripe is the parking situation, which is totally out of their control but is something to be mindful of. I wish I could teleport and keep training here while I’m back home in NYC!
