10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is a No Gi grappling system which uses clinching techniques utilising underhooks, overhooks, and other grips that don’t depend on the use of grabbing clothing (the Gi) to gain an advantage. The main premise behind 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is that the art should keep evolving, finding new ways to attack and counter and never become stagnant. It is currently one of the biggest associations in the world producing high level Jiu JItsu athletes and practitioners from many countries. 

 

10th Planet Jiu JItsu was founded by Eddie Bravo in 2003. This style was developed after seeing the early success of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu had drastically declined in Mixed Martial Arts, mainly the UFC. 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu, although being a complete system of No Gi Jiu Jitsu is most known for its signature positions such as the Lockdown (a half guard position), the Rubber guard (a clinching form of the guard in which the bottom player uses their leg to control the posture of their opponent), and the Twister. Also in more recent years 10th Planet has become well known for utilising the leg lock game used in modern NoGi Jiu jitsu.
