About 10th Planet
10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu emerged as a groundbreaking and revolutionary Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu system that introduced a unique approach to grappling. Founded by Eddie Bravo, a highly skilled and innovative martial artist, 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu challenged the traditional norms of the sport and redefined the possibilities of ground fighting. The journey of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu began in the early 2000s when Eddie Bravo, a talented black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado, started experimenting with unconventional techniques and concepts. Dissatisfied with the limitations imposed by the traditional Gi-based Jiu-Jitsu, Bravo sought to develop a system that focused on no-gi grappling and adapted to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of real-life confrontations. Through tireless exploration and refinement, he devised a comprehensive system that emphasized unorthodox positions, flexibility, and the innovative use of the "rubber guard." With its emphasis on creativity, flexibility, and adaptability, 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu quickly gained recognition and popularity among martial artists worldwide, attracting practitioners of all skill levels and backgrounds. Today, it stands as a testament to the transformative power of individual vision, challenging the established norms and pushing the boundaries of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
