i love stopping by when i have the chance. havent been here since the old spot. beautiful space, tall ceilings, nice powder-white mats, slipperyness after a few rolls makes it “easy/funky” scrambles fadaze. really appreciate the hospitality from this crew as soon as i come through the doors, solid technique from hillebrand himself, so much talent in this school if you’re ever in town you gotta stop by! #10P4L

My son has been taking the kids' class, Ages 4-7, for about two weeks now. The coaches are very patient and informative. The student-to-coach ratio helps keep all the kids engaged throughout the entire training. I can see why this gym is so successful. Five stars for sure!! These were the main reasons why I signed up my kid: -Very Accomplished and Professional Staff -Good student-to-coach ratio -Very Clean Gym (no shoes/slippers on the mat, good airflow, and no foul stench) -Easy Parking

This place is my home away from home in Oakland. Mike and his team of coaches is super detailed and observant with teaching techniques and the training environment is warm friendly, but at the same time, competitive and about getting better. Everyone is super welcoming whether your a beginner or seasoned veteran

I’ve been training at 10th Planet Oakland for almost two years, and it’s been such a great experience. There are good rolls and a welcoming atmosphere, whether you’re brand new, just looking for a good place to train, or aiming to compete. Mike is extremely detail-oriented and clearly invested in everyone’s development. The coaching staff brings a lot of knowledge and is always helpful and eager to teach. It’s a well-run, thoughtful gym with a strong community.

I have been training at 10th Planet Oakland for 2 months and could not be anymore pleased. The coaches and the other members are phenomenal humans who have been super supportive in getting me started. My personal preference are the am classes due to fewer people which allows for more personal attention. Also my 8 year old son is now training here and I'm excited to learn and grow with him in this environment. Just this week we found out that the gym will be moving into a larger location just a few blocks away which I'm super excited for. All that to say I'm proud to be a Savage! *** The new location is beautiful!! Again I can't say enough about the quality of people I meet here. It's a direct reflection of Professor Hillebrand (owner/head instructor).
