Where we came from
Our history & lineage
10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu was founded by Eddie Bravo, a black belt under legendary Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master Jean-Jacques Machado. After his historic submission victory over Royler Gracie at ADCC in 2003, Eddie launched the 10th Planet system as a no-gi approach built for modern grappling, MMA and submission control.
What began as an answer to the demands of real fighting and modern grappling has grown into one of the most influential movements in the world. The system stands for innovation, adaptability, creativity and the constant evolution of jiu-jitsu, while staying rooted in real technique, real pressure and real community.
At 10th Planet Fullerton, we carry that same standard: high-level coaching, honest training and a community built to help every student grow.
