Martial Arts Near West Covina

No-gi Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai & kids martial arts — just 2 miles from the Westfield West Covina Mall

Why West Covina Residents Choose 10th Planet

If you live in West Covina — whether you're near the Westfield Mall, off Azusa Ave by the South Hills, or closer to the Valinda side — you're less than 5 minutes from one of the San Gabriel Valley's top martial arts academies. 10th Planet Covina sits right on Citrus Ave in downtown Covina, just north of the I-10. No fighting through LA traffic, no crossing freeways. It's practically in your backyard.

Our 4,000 sq ft facility runs two dedicated training rooms — one for grappling, one for striking — with classes running morning through evening, six days a week. We train the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu system (no-gi only, founded by Eddie Bravo) and Fuzion Muay Thai, with separate kids programs starting at age 3. A lot of our members drive over from West Covina, and several of our kids come from West Covina schools like Edgewood, Walnut Grove, and Merced Elementary.

Your first class is free. No contracts to sign up front, no sales pitch on the mats. Just show up, train, and see if it's the right fit.

Serving the West Covina Community

West Covina is one of the largest cities in the San Gabriel Valley, and many of our members call it home. We see families from the South Hills neighborhood, students from West Covina High School and Edgewood High, and working professionals who stop in before or after shifts at the nearby business parks.

For parents looking for after-school activities beyond the rec leagues at Big League Dreams or Shadow Oak Park, our kids martial arts program offers something different — structured self-defense training that builds confidence, discipline, and friendships that carry off the mats. Kids as young as 3 start with us, and many train through their teen years.

Whether you're looking for a serious training environment to prepare for competition or just want a challenging workout that's more engaging than a regular gym, you'll find your people here.

After-School Training

Kids classes start at 4 PM, perfect timing for students from West Covina, Edgewood, and South Hills schools.

Morning & Evening Classes

Train at 8 AM before the commute or 8:30 PM after the kids are settled. We fit your schedule, not the other way around.

Family-Friendly Culture

Parents train Muay Thai while their kids take Jiu Jitsu in the next room. Several West Covina families train together here.

What to Expect at Your First Class

1

Show up 10–15 minutes early

Fill out a quick waiver and meet the coach. We'll walk you through the space and answer any questions.

2

Wear comfortable workout clothes

No-gi means no uniform needed. Athletic shorts or leggings and a t-shirt or rash guard work great. No zippers or pockets.

3

Train at your own pace

Beginners are paired with experienced training partners who will guide you through techniques. No one gets thrown into the deep end.

4

No pressure after class

We'll answer questions about membership if you're interested, but there's zero sales pressure. Try as many free classes as you need.

Questions from West Covina Residents

How far is 10th Planet Covina from West Covina?

About 2 miles. If you're near the Westfield West Covina Mall, it's a straight shot north on Citrus Ave — roughly 5 minutes by car. From the South Hills area, you can take Azusa Ave to Badillo St and be at the gym in under 10 minutes.

Do I need martial arts experience to start?

Not at all. Most of our members started as complete beginners. Our beginner classes are designed to teach fundamentals from the ground up, and experienced training partners will work with you at your pace. We have morning and evening beginner sessions so you can pick the time that works best.

What ages do your kids programs cover?

We run three age groups: 3–5, 6–9, and 10–15. Kids Jiu Jitsu and kids kickboxing run Monday through Friday starting at 4 PM, and Saturday mornings feature wrestling. Many parents from West Covina drop their kids off after school and either watch or take an adult class in the other room.

Is there parking at the gym?

Yes. There's free parking directly in front of the building at 1050 N Citrus Ave. You won't have to walk far or deal with meters.

What's the difference between 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu and regular BJJ?

10th Planet is 100% no-gi — no traditional kimono (gi). The system was founded by Eddie Bravo and focuses on a unique set of positions and submissions designed specifically for no-gi grappling. It's effective for self-defense and MMA, and it's easier to get started because you don't need to buy a gi — just shorts and a t-shirt.
