A neighborhood Jiu-Jitsu academy in Tigard, Oregon. No marketing language. No ranking chart on the wall. Just a room where people get better at grappling, together.
10P Tigard exists to give the people of Washington County a place to train seriously without walking into an intimidating room. Our mission is simple: teach the 10th Planet no-gi system with enough patience that a first-timer feels welcome, and enough depth that a veteran still learns something every round.
We take Jiu-Jitsu seriously. We take ourselves less seriously. The result is a room where people actually want to show up — and keep showing up, for years. We have space for the beginner, the hobbyist, and the full-time competitor. Whatever lane you choose.
Whether you're here to learn self-defense, get in shape, compete, or just find something that's yours, you'll find it on our mats.

Sam Hardy · Head Instructor
10th Planet Tigard was opened by Sam Hardy — a 10th Planet black belt with more than a decade on the mats and a long history teaching, competing, and training teammates inside the same system. Every class is led personally, not by a rotating cast of contractors.
The supporting coaches were students here first. They earned their belts in this room, on this team, against the same people you'll be rolling with. That's why the standard is consistent: technique gets taught the same way Monday morning as it does Saturday night, because the people teaching it learned it the same way.
Drop in on a free class and you'll meet whoever's running the floor that day — usually Sam, often with one or two of the senior coaches assisting.
Come Meet the CoachesEveryone trains together — white belts with browns, first-day students with competitors. Nobody gets smashed for the sake of it. We hold each other accountable to being the kind of teammate you'd want across the mat from you on your worst day.
Our coaches are experienced in the 10th Planet no-gi system and care about your progress, not your attendance count. Techniques are taught slowly, broken down, and revisited — so you actually understand why something works, not just how to copy it.
The goal isn't to earn belts or win gym politics. The goal is that you leave every class a little better at controlling yourself, controlling a situation, and controlling your own mind under pressure. That's what Jiu-Jitsu actually trains.
Words on a webpage only get you so far. The best way to decide if 10P Tigard is a fit is to stand on the mats for an hour and roll with the people already training here.
