WHAT IS 10TH PLANET JIU JITSU?

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is a non-traditional system of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu developed by Eddie Bravo. After earning his black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado, Bravo focused on creating a clinch-based, no-gi system designed for maximum effectiveness in mixed martial arts competition. Since then, no-gi grappling has exploded worldwide with major organizations such as the Eddie Bravo Invitational (EBI), ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club), Polaris, Who’s Number One (WNO), PGL (Professional Grappling League), the Craig Jones Invitational, and the UFC Fight Pass Invitational pushing submission grappling to new levels of visibility, professionalism, and entertainment.
