10th Planet Jiu Jitsu History

   Tenth Planet Jiu Jitsu was created by Eddie Bravo under the tutelage
   of Jean Jacques Machado. It is a unique style of no gi Brazilian Jiu
   Jitsu which was made to work both inside the cage and on the sporting
   mats. The intentionality behind the creation was to have an unorthodox
   style which could keep an opponent under constant control and in the
   threat of danger. The Tenth Planet system was put to the test in Abu
   Dhabi 2003, and it succeeded masterfully by facilitating Eddie
   Bravo's victory over long time reigning champion Royler Gracie.
   Immediately following that victory, Eddie opened his own school to
   further the system.

 What separates Tenth Planet Jiu Jitsu from other styles is its
   innovation and evolution. Some of the moves, like the Rubber Guard,
   the Twister, and the Lock-Down have taken the Jiu Jitsu community by
   storm because of their originality and effectiveness. The moves
   mentioned here are so different that opponents do not know how to
   react to them and they leave the practitioner in a unique position to
  execute with little to no defense from their opponent. Moreover, the
  beauty of the system does not stop there: Eddie and his students are
  constantly inventing new moves and counters to old moves in order to
  keep the style relevant and functioning. So, where other systems cease
  to grow, Tenth Planet finds itself in a situation where its entire
  focus is to continue its own growth.
