At 10th Planet Barcelona, we practice a non-traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu system. We train exclusively No-Gi (without kimono), which means grips and techniques focus on body control and positioning rather than fabric. Our emphasis on unorthodox positions, leg locks, and the Rubber Guard system differentiates us from traditional academies.

Absolutely! We recently adapted an area with free weights where you can do classic weightlifting, strength and conditioning, and cross-training. Physical conditioning is a fundamental basis for progress in our sport. We all start from zero and we're happy to help you with these workouts too.

Yes! We have a lobby area, specialty coffee service, and 5G WiFi throughout the entire gym.

Safety is our top priority. As a beginner, you'll learn at your own pace with controlled drilling before any live sparring. Our coaches emphasize proper technique and our community has a strong culture of taking care of training partners. Jiu Jitsu is one of the safest martial arts when practiced correctly, and we maintain an ego-free environment.Item description

That's the beauty of Jiu Jitsu - it's designed for smaller, weaker people to overcome larger, stronger opponents using technique and leverage. We have students of all ages (from kids to 50+), sizes, and athletic backgrounds. The art adapts to you, not the other way around.

Totally normal! Every single person on our mats felt that way at first. Our coaches and experienced students are here to help. Don't hesitate to ask questions we were all beginners once. The community is incredibly supportive and we want you to succeed.

Street parking is available in the Gracia neighborhood. We also highly recommend using public transportation we're easily accessible by metro (Diagonal station, L3/L5) and bus (line 24).

Classes typically include:

Warm-up (10-15 min): Movement drills and conditioning

Technique instruction (20-30 min): Coach demonstrates, students drill

Live rolling/sparring (15-20 min): Optional for beginners - you can watch until comfortable

Cool down and questions

It depends on the injury or condition. We recommend consulting with your doctor first. Our coaches can modify techniques to accommodate certain limitations, but your safety and health come first. Let us know during your trial class and we'll work with you.

Many of our students compete in No-Gi tournaments, but it's 100% optional. Whether you train for fitness, self-defense, competition, or just for fun you're equally welcome here. We support all goals.

In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, progression through the ranks depends on multiple factors: your skill level, technical progress, mat time, age, and whether you compete. There's no fixed timeline - everyone's journey is unique. Your coach evaluates your development holistically and promotes you when you're ready. Remember, Jiu Jitsu is a marathon, not a sprint. Focus on learning and improving, and the ranks will come naturally as you grow.
