A little bit about us

Who We Are

Founded in 2017, 10th Planet Banbury has quickly grown into Oxfordshire's largest and most recognised Jiu Jitsu gym, intending to be the UK’s leading training center for no-gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

We’re passionate about making jiu jitsu accessible to everyone. Our focus is on creating a welcoming environment where people of all ages and abilities can learn, grow, and enjoy the many benefits of this unique martial art.

It's more than just a martial art

A Priceless Life skill

Jiu jitsu is about more than just self-defence; it’s a great way to build confidence, improve fitness, and support mental well-being. One of the things we love most about it is how it clears your mind. When you’re grappling, there’s no room to think about anything else, which can be surprisingly calming.

As our head coach, Gav says: 'Jiu Jitsu is like learning to swim, it’s a skill that everyone should have.'

We’re proud of the community we’ve built at 10th Planet Banbury and look forward to seeing our team grow both on and off the mats. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience, we’d love for you to join us.
