Full disclosure, I train at 10P Huntsville, AL. That being said I am a bit biased toward 10P but having said that, 10P Poway is one of the best gyms I have ever dropped in to. Top notch instruction, good skill levels from everyone there and great training overall but that is not what sets this place apart. I was in town for work, decided to drop in for a few nights and from the first moment I walked in I was greeted like family. FAMILY, kind of like the kid you have with your second cousin (I was rocking my 10P Huntsville shirt and rash guard after all) but family none the less. Most of the time if you drop in a place a few people may remember your name (if you sign up and attend regularly) but here quite a few (in fact most) people greeted me by name every night I was there, invited me out to eat at a Team dinner and overall made me feel very welcome.Let’s be honest, if you are in Southern California (or anywhere in Cali) you are spoiled for choice for good Jiu Jitsu, including multiple great 10P gyms. While I cannot speak firsthand for any of the others I can say that 10P Poway is a great place to train. So if you don’t have a place to train, looking to add something to your game, want to try something new or just looking for camaraderie on and off the mats then go see Kevin, Josh, Kyle, Zach, David and everyone else, you will be glad you did.

Excellent gym to learn and train at. Super friendly and accepting atmosphere. Kevin is one of the most open and creative teachers I have ever met. Really the only place I would want or recommend to train no gi jiu jitsu between north county and downtown. 15/10 stars

Kevin the head instructor is an excellent Martial Artist. He is quite good in competition and an amazing technician with high level skill and tactics which is awesome but, his attention to detail and consideration of his students is on another level he is a great coach who truly cares about his students and their training. I remember the first time I practiced with him(also my first ever paid for/official Grappling class)he asked us what are some moves we wanted to learn but had trouble with, I responded triangle! Being 55 at 170lbs also having legs of the tree stump kind I was certain Id stumped him but, to my surprise his level of understanding was such that it didnt matter that I was built like a Dachshund he had me throwing up triangles by the end of our session but, better yet he had given me the concepts to go deeper with it and apply it on my own after a few months I had began to use it on stronger, larger and even in some cases higher ranking classmates. Though he couldve said that the triangle wasnt for my type, he showed my the high level of technical ability that one can use to accomplish anything in Jiu Jitsu with the proper instructions and perseverance. Not only did he show me a move but, he captured my intrigue and is one of the main reasons I practice this art going on 7 years now. Although I no longer practice under him because of relocating it was life altering and I aspire to train with him again someday.

This spot is such a gem. For those of you that live in the area and can train with such a talented artist who is so down to earth. Kevin has taught me so much in the little time Ive spent learning from him. If you want to learn jiu jitsu, this is the place. Oss.

World Class Black Belt Jiu Jitsu Instruction. Super welcoming environment and effective system! Great people to train with!

Super dope. Lit Bjj class. Causal environment, Kevin is a great teacher and prime learning environment

Just having a great time training there. Between the excellent training environment and the facility- cant see myself training anywhere else.

I just started at 10th planet Poway and have previously studied gracie BJJ with both gi and no gi classes. I was missing the cardio and technical aspects of BJJ and have found that and more at 10th Planet in Poway! Kevin has set up a world class gym and is one of the best BJJ instructors in the area. His credentials are impressive and, in only the first few classes, he has begun to tailor techniques to my body type and style that I am beginning to incorporate. Talk about a huge learning curve that feels like a private lesson! Kevin has assembled a great group of guys and gals to train and learn from at all levels. The environment is all about growing and learning in your BJJ knowledge. I still havent found a better way to burn tons of calories in an hour!Couple of other highlightsKevin is religious about cleanliness and safety in the gym. I also dig the simplicity of the schedule.....6-8 am or pm every day.

I took 10th planet poways mma class. I was looking to learn solid technique as well as work up a sweat and I got exactly that. I was the odd man out so Liz, the instructor, jumped in the class and worked with me! Even the head black belt, Kevin, was taking the class. The warm ups alone had me sweating and the drills were high paced and well instructed. The facility was clean and everyone on the staff was welcoming and very knowledgeable. I love this place and cant wait to try out the jj class!

Kevin Berbrich is an amazing teacher. Incredibly patient, and insanely knowledgeable about jiu jitsu.Most teachers get frustrated quickly with me. But even on my most spacy days, Kevin always takes the time to make sure I understand each technique thoroughly.Liz Carmouche is a wonderful MMA instructor, and she is always willing to work with you on your individual fight style.

10th planet is with out a doubt the best no gi grappling system out there. Head instructor Kevin Berbrich is a laid back friendly black belt with some of the most efficient and unique jiu jitsu style out there. Ive learned so much from him. See you on the mats! Oss
