Been to a few BJJ schools and this one is far and away the best. Great coaches, everybody is friendly and happy to help you learn. Lots of opportunities to compete but also great for recreational rollers like me. 10/10 would recommend to anybody looking for a fun, safe environment to stay in shape while learning some very cool and effective techniques!

Great coaches and welcoming atmosphere! One of the best decisions I’ve made!

Joined 10th planet as a 33 year old who hadn’t done any sort of athletic activities since graduating high school in 2004. A great place for a beginner and very welcoming and understanding of new students.

Great place and great people . Love the atmosphere and the people that go there . Very clean and the instructors are very good at teaching .

Great gym filled with great people. The instructors are knowledgeable and do a great job of making every class interesting, inclusive and fun for all levels. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Such a supportive and motivating environment. The coaches are genuinely invested in the progress of all the members. While there are high level competitors this gym is great for people starting out also. Members and coaches alike are incredibly welcoming and encouraging. I started in September and I’m hooked. I’m down 25 lbs and feel so much more energized. Starting my morning with bjj has allowed me to be more alert and focused when I get to work.Ladies looking into BJJ this gym is incredibly FEMALE FRIENDLY

For anyone considering trying out BJJ or searching for a new gym, this place is a must try. Extremely knowledgeable and motivating coaching staff, not just with BJJ but on overall health and fitness lifestyle as well, both mentally and physically. A very friendly and inviting group of training members from the top down. Top notch facility. The list goes on. Once you start going, you wont stop going back.

Amazing jiujitsu studio and Id recommend it for anyone who wants to start learning jiujitsu or just looking for a place to train. Coaches are very knowledgeable and everyone at the gym is super supportive and willing to teach someone newer. Joining two years ago has been one of my best decisions. This place has become a second home over the past two years, and I know even on my worst days coming here will cheer me up.

I came to 10PLI with no experience in BJJ, so naturally I was nervous about learning the ropes and making friends at first. These concerns could not have been met with better service. Everyone at the school treats you like family, as long as you show that you want to work I genuinely feel like the instructors will do everything they can to help you. Not only are they friendly, but from my perspective it seems that the instructors serve as great role models in the sport. All of them are active competitors, so they really prove that what they do works. I’ve only been there two months, but I’m confident you won’t find many places better, if any at all.

I have trained at many schools on Long Island and NYC and 10th Planet Long Island is by far the best.Whether you are a BJJ hobbyist (like myself), a competitor or someone interested in learning how to intelligently defend yourself, you owe it to yourself to try a class at 10th Planet.The vibe is very chill and inviting, which I believe to be necessary when learning such a sacred art like BJJ. A lot of traditional schools are full of ego and people trying to hurt each other but 10th Planet consists of down to earth people interested in bettering themselves.Steve is extremely knowledgable and is constantly competing in order to test his knowledge and technique against some of the best.#lookintoit

Great school, instructors, and training partners. Everyone is constantly looking to learn and improve; this is the place to be.

Straight killers come out of this place. High level Jiu jitsu, would highly recommend.

Ive had the privilege of knowing the owner, Nick, for many years. His dedication to martial arts has always impressed me as he continued to learn, improve and hone his skills. The teaching methods are meticulous and well thought out in order to have the best effect for his students. Hes great with kids, teaching them self-discipline yet creating a fun environment so they can express themselves. If youre interested in adult classes, his knowledge surpasses so many other instructors youll come across and hell personally work with you in order to help achieve your goals. On top of all of this, hes always respectful. Highly recommended!

I’ve trained at a few places, but from the moment I walked in the door I’d never been in a more friendly BJJ atmosphere. There are too many great things about this place to list, from the coaches to the members. The ONLY place I considered for life long training.

My two children (daughter and son) have participated in classes for nearly 10 months. They love it. The teaching is excellent, the exercise is great, and they are really learning self defense. I highly recommend VMA Smithtown for anyone looking for quality teachers and quality instruction, which is age appropriate and fun! The waiting room is comfortable for adults to wait for the children and watch them learn. Five stars all the way!

This place is amazing. Steve, James, and Dan are super talented and knowledgeable instructors, and make you feel like family from the first time on the mats. Super friendly and equally as competitive atmosphere. My confidence is through the roof since beginning my training, and I am honored to be a part of this team. Don’t think I would train anywhere else, 10PLI is where it’s at.

Amazing place to learn jiu jitsu! Extremely inviting and friendly. Would recommend to anyon regardless of age or physique.👌

I absolutely love training here! Steve, James, and Dan are all fantastic instructors for students of any level, making sure that each class is valuable to everyone in attendance. They are all friendly, welcoming, patient, and humble people, and it’s clear how much they love what they do.To me, this is most evident in the fact that it’s not just the instructors, but my fellow students as well that make coming here such a good time. As one of the newest students, it would have been easy to have been intimidated by these experienced grapplers. Instead, they all make the effort to adjust to your skill level, and help you to get better too.Whether you’re looking for self defense, or just a killer workout, I couldn’t recommend this place strongly enough!

Amazing Facility with Brilliant Instructors and a very friendly welcoming environment.This school has a great range of skill levels - from brand new beginners to experienced competitors and everything in-between.Very nice mat area and a very cool waiting/spectating area for parents or friends to watch from. Definitely worth trying a class here if you are in town!

Great gym with awesome instructors. Good place for beginners too, with a really welcoming atmosphere. You’ll learn jiu-jitsu, get in shape, and meet some cool people. My son (6 years old) also attends the kids classes and he loves it. Steve and the crew have a really great thing going at 10th planet LI.

Love the 10 P fam ! I’ve been with them almost two year and it’s the truth it really is a family over there great place for adults and kids ! My four year old love it too !

Amazing environment. Instructors are top notch and help everyone reach their individual goals.

Ive been involved with alchemy martial arts for a number of years and it is one of the best martial arts programs out there. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are amazing teachers. They are very hands on with the students and they make sure they understand the material in a safe and fun way. Would recommend to anyone looking to get into martial arts, whether it be for yourself or your child.

Never had much interest in delving into the martial arts before, tried it on a groupon deal and fell in love with it. Ive rowed for crew, ran cross country and track but no work out has been more intense than mixed martial arts training. The head instructor is also excellent at helping students of all experience levels find their path.

Great place to compete with great competition for all skill levels of Ju jitsu. Definitely worth a visit!

My son loves going to Alchemy. Theyre great with kids. I highly recommend all parents looking to get their children involved in an activity while stressing respect, discipline and fun to check them out.

Fantastic NoGi jiujitsu school that also offers functional fitness training. Steve and James are exceptional instructors and competitors that truly care about their students. To top it off, the welcoming and positive atmosphere makes 10th Planet Long Island an amazing place to learn jiujitsu and get in shape!

Ive been going here for a few months now. This is a fantastic place to learn No-Gi BJJ. Im an adult, but from what Ive seen, the kids classes are great too. Heres my breakdown:Pros:- This place is genuine. The instructors are all very good at BJJ itself as well as at actually training other people. Everyone is very friendly and supportive.- The price is very competitive for LI. Most other martial arts schools are more expensive. On top of that, there is no contract. If for whatever reason you need to end your membership, there isnt even a membership to end. Just let them know and youre out. I sound like Im advertising, but this was an important thing for me personally. My son goes to a different school, and there, if we wanted to end his membership, we need to give them a 3 months advance written notice.- While everyone at any level is welcome to any of the classes, there are specific Fundamentals classes at least twice a week. To a beginner, these are invaluable.- Besides No-Gi BJJ, there are other classes like Gi BJJ, Functional Training, Wrestling, various seminars, etc.- Great music selection during training! :DCons? I dont know... No dedicated parking. Its Smithtown, so you know... But its easy to find parking around the place. I never have any trouble.

Top notch instruction on Modern Jiu Jitsu - 10th Planet Long Island covers everything from Self Defense, Competition Grappling, and functional fitness. Their instructors are a wealth of knowledge in BJJ. To top it off, their members vary in age and size. Of all the schools on LI, I find myself taking an HOUR trek just to visit 10thPLI twice a week. They are zero politics, highly educated, and care about their students. 10/10 would recommend.

My teenage son started training here 8 months ago and truly loves it. Jiu jitsu has become his passion due to the great instructors here like Steve & James. Hes competed in BJJ several times since January 19 and his confidence rises with each tournament. I love the results & highly recommend this gym!

Great with the kids!!! This is why they get 5 stars!Wish they had better parking, but I guess you have to deal with that when you are in a big town like Smithtown. I would not hold this against them.

Quality Jiu Jitsu, and functional fitness philosophy to better yourself.

Always the highlight of my week is learning new techniques from the excellent teachers at 10th planet long island. Great people and atmosphere and incredibly welcoming to newcomers.

I started training at alchemy a few months ago and I couldnt be happier. Nick and Steve are fantastic teachers and Ive become much better for having trained under them. Ive tried a variety of jiu jitsu and martial arts schools around Long Island and have never felt so welcome and at home as I did when I first walked into alchemy. Ive watched Nick teach everyone from experts to total beginners and he always seems to understand the best way to help people learn, no matter their skill or comfort level. I really feel like Ive finally found a school where I can comfortably learn and grow as a martial artist.

My goal was to get back in shape and have fun while I do it. I joined VMA Smithtown at 177 lbs and now Im down to 150. Sensai Steve helped me reach my goal and now is helping me to make new ones. The variety of wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, kempo, and kickboxing really keeps me from getting bored with the training and I really learn something new every week.

Love this place. My kid love it. Great place great sunsai.

Amazing place to train! First class I ever took was very inclusive and welcoming, everyone training was very friendly and the vibe is awesome. its a great balance of high level jiu-jitsu and beginners. If you have any worries or scared of how advanced others are, dont be. The high level is definitely there but its just as good for beginners like myself. Everyone is more than willing to help you and the instructors are top class martial artists. Im very pleased to be on this journey in the 10th planet system, no gi is the future. Cant wait to fit more days into my schedule!Also check out other classes that they offer. Yoga, Kettle bells etc... They also have black belts come in from other 10th planet locations and do special instructor classes. They go beyond for their students.

Best Jiu Jitsu gym in LI

Good place for kids to learn Jiu Jitsu. Instructors are competent and work well with the kids.

Great senseis there to help your self confidence and teach you how to defend your self you learn how to be disciplined focused and respecful.

The head instructor Steve Kasten is amazing at his job and a dedicated martial artist with an unprecedented gift for working with children. His JiuJitsu is out of this world and has stepped my game up to a whole new level with his indepth thought process and seamless flow. If I can get half as good as him Id be one lucky guy haha!

I started out attending the cardio kickboxing classes as a way to get more of a workout than just running and got hooked. Then I decided to stay for the jiu jitsu classes and was drawn in to Steves way of teaching. He is excellent at explaining everything and is fantastic at the art of jiu jitsu. Ive been going for the past 2 months and it is a great workout.

Looking for quality, mixed martial arts and self defense for people of all ages and skill level? This is the place to be!

My uncle goes there.
