OUR CULTURE AND WHY WE DO THIS 10th Planet Denver was started with the goal of creating a powerful community of mindful warriors. We believe hurt people hurt people. People who have been victimized and abused tend to victimize and abuse others. We believe that when someone develops skill, confidence, and presence of mind, they are less likely to be intimidated and less likely to harm others. We believe trying is a sacred truth. The sincere act of trying changes you. Your capacity to try grows with daily practice. Growth happens when you step outside comfort, even when it feels messy. Action is the catalyst. Wrong action beats no action because it still teaches you. At 10th Planet Denver, we are committed to building technically advanced grapplers. When you build real skill, fear shrinks. When fear shrinks, you move through the world more relaxed, more present, and more authentic. When people feel safe and supported, they are free to express themselves and live with purpose. We believe that empowering a community through martial arts mastery reduces fear and suffering beyond these walls. WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR FIRST CLASS Show up 10 minutes early. Wear athletic clothes you can move in. Bring water. We will take it from there. After class, we will check in with you, answer questions, and help you pick the best path based on your goal. READY TO START If you want to get stronger, become more confident, learn patience, gain discipline, and move through the world in a more relaxed and present state, come join us on the mats at 10th Planet Denver. The revolution begins with you.
