What is 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu? Eddie Bravo created a no-gi style of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu named 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu after defeating Royler Gracie via triangle choke in the ADCC 2003. 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu focuses on constant attacks from unorthodox positions such as the Rubber Guard, Meat Hook Twister Side Control, Monkey Mount (Gangsta Lean), Mar Mount and the half guard position known as the " Lock Down." The main premise behind 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is that the art should keep evolving, finding new ways to attack and counter. Eddie believes that standard Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has become predictable.The 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu system is also known for its unusual names for techniques and positions. This feature provides mnemonic devices to help students understand discrete nuances in position, which blend into a comprehensive framework for competition. These names also help coaches, who can use a "secret code" to yell out moves during competition while non-10th Planet opponents remain unaware of the advice. Some examples of technique names include DPO, Crack Head Control, The Carni, Straight Jacket, Jiu Claw, and Silverado. In 2007, 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu began to expand outside of 10th Planet headquarters in Hollywood, California. As of 2008, he has satellite schools in the following locations: Canada: Toronto Ont, Victoria BC, Vancouver BC & Montreal Que; U.S.: Rochester, NY, Phoenix, AZ, San Francisco & Riverside, CA, and Springfield, MO; Australia: Melbourne, Aus; Peterborough ON, CA. These 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu schools are run by some of Eddie's most dedicated students who are constantly evolving the game and adding to the system. Welcome to 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu!! |
