What is 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu?
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is one of the first no-gi styles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Created by Eddie Bravo in 2003, 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu was designed to make it easier to incorporate jiu jitsu into Mixed Martial Arts competitions like the UFC, by having fighters train in the same gear in which they would compete.
10th Planet Saginaw is the only 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu gym in the Mid Michigan area, and one of only four in the state.
About Eddie Bravo
Eddie Bravo is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Jean Jacques Machado and founder of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu, the Eddie Bravo Invitational (EBI) and Combat Jiu Jitsu (CJJ). Bravo made his mark in competitive jiu jitsu by submitting the already legendary Royler Gracie at the ADCC Championship (2003). After that, he launched his 10th Planet jiu jitsu team, a program that became widely publicized, gathering a huge following in the grappling and mixed martial arts (MMA) circuits. Eddie’s views on grappling turned towards positions such as the rubber guard, the twister and a half guard move Bravo labelled as the lock down, these caught the eye of several MMA fighters who sought Bravo to learn his method.
