The Bottom Line
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Dubai is a no-gi-focused Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in Al Barsha, while reviews also mention training in both gi and no-gi. You can join group classes, attend open mat sessions and work on a complete grappling game through structured, progressive instruction. Beginners are repeatedly described as comfortable from their first class, while experienced visitors mention technical coaching and useful training partners.
The atmosphere is a major draw. Reviews describe a respectful, ego-free community where coaches take time to break down techniques and partners help newcomers settle in. One traveller specifically noted controlled submissions during rolling.
The facility is also practical: members mention three large mats, a strength-and-conditioning area, weightlifting equipment and punching bags. Showers, changing facilities and provided towels are useful extras, with one review also mentioning shampoo and soap. A reported schedule has morning, noon and evening gi/no-gi sessions every day except Sunday, and another review mentions app-based booking.
If you are dropping in from abroad, confirm the arrangement first: one visitor was refused a scheduled open mat without an Emirates ID and reported a 300AED minimum for one week. Another review cites access to everything in the gym at 500 or 600aed, but treat these as customer-reported figures rather than a current price list.
