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.

More than a gym

A team that has your back

At 10th Planet Fullerton, we're built on more than training. We're built on culture. Everyone starts jiu-jitsu for a different reason: confidence, fitness, self-defense, competition, weight loss, stress relief, or simply a strong community. Here, you bring your own goals, but you don't chase them alone. From your first day to black belt, everyone is part of the same team.

  • Beginner-first. Most people who walk in have never trained before. You'll fit right in.
  • Team culture. Individual goals, reached through a strong community that holds you accountable.
  • Health & fitness. Get stronger, build endurance and create consistency with training that keeps you coming back.
  • Real skill. Practical jiu-jitsu with self-defense, MMA and competition application.
  • Competition-ready. Train casually or chase championships. We have the coaching and the room to help you grow.

The 10th Planet System

No gi. No limits.

Founded by Eddie Bravo, 10th Planet threw out the rulebook on traditional jiu-jitsu. We train without the gi, the way grappling actually works in MMA, in self-defense, and in a real scramble. It's athletic, creative, and constantly evolving.

Proven at the highest level

The 10th Planet system has produced ADCC competitors and high-level grapplers around the world. You train that same art right here.

Built for the real world

No-gi mirrors self-defense and MMA, you train how you'd actually move when it counts.

Always evolving

A living system. The game moves fast, and so do we, you'll never plateau on stale technique.

"10/10 gym! I stopped by a couple of drop-in classes with coach Isaac and they were both amazing. He pays so much attention to the small details, and there are lots of friendly, skilled students to learn from. If you're looking for a good jiu jitsu gym in OC, check out 10p Fullerton."

Before your first class

Questions, answered

None at all. The large majority of people who walk through our doors have never trained a day in their life. Every class scales to your level and our coaches and training partners will look after you from your very first roll.

Shorts without zippers or pockets, a rash guard or a compression/dry-fit shirt, water, and a change of clothes. Bring slip-on shoes or sandals for off the mat, keep your nails trimmed, and bring a positive attitude, that's it.

Yes. Classes are split by age and level, training is controlled, and safety and respect are non-negotiable in our room. Jiu-jitsu is one of the best things a kid, or an adult, can do for discipline, focus and real confidence.

We train the 10th Planet system founded by Eddie Bravo, which is no-gi. That means athletic, practical grappling without the traditional uniform, the way it works in self-defense and MMA. There's no gi to buy to get started.

Yes. Your membership includes access to all four 10th Planet academies in Orange County (Fullerton, Orange, Costa Mesa and Irvine), with Fullerton and Orange as your home gyms. Train wherever fits your schedule that week.
