10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu is a non-traditional system of Brazilian jiu-jitsu developed by Eddie Bravo. It is a no-gi based style so the fighters use rash guards as their main fighting wear. 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu fighters are known to employ unorthodox guard positions and a distinct focus on leg lock attacks.

History

In 2003, after earning a black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado, Eddie Bravo opened his first 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu school in Los Angeles, California. Bravo's system emphasizes developing students for submission-only grappling competition rather than points, he focused his jiu-jitsu training without the traditional gi, becoming one of the first jiu-jitsu schools in the US to do so. The idea behind this was to try to implement as many of the techniques as possible in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions. Bravo worked for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) during this time and felt high-level jiu-jitsu practitioners weren't winning as much as they should have, mainly attributing this to them wearing a gi when training jiu-jitsu, but competing in MMA without one. [4]

10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu has been controversial since its inception; [5] abandoning the gi drew some backlash from other jiu-jitsu schools [3] and there has been a debate as to how many 10th Planet techniques, most notably its iterations of the rubber guard, translate to MMA. [6]

In addition to the original 10th Planet headquarters in Los Angeles, there are over 100 schools worldwide. [7] Some are established jiu-jitsu training facilities that have adopted the system as an expansion of the art. The style has spread overseas to Ireland, the United Kingdom, [8] Germany, [9] Sweden, Australia, [10] Mexico, [11] Brazil, [12] and Korea.

Ranking system

While 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu uses the standard Brazilian jiu-jitsu ranking system, its practitioners most commonly train without gi and the belt. 10th Planet used colored rashguards to help visually denote belt rank. [17]
