More than a gym
A team that has your back
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is a non-traditional, no-gi system built by Eddie Bravo and proven at the highest levels of grappling and MMA. In Orange, we've spent over a decade turning total beginners into confident, capable grapplers — in a room where everyone, from your first day to black belt, is on the same team.
Beginner-first. Most people who walk in have never trained. You'll fit right in.
No gi, no ego. Athletic, practical grappling with real self-defense and MMA application.
Train 6 days a week. Mornings, middays and evenings — built around work, school and family.

Programs for every age & level
Whether you're chasing your first stripe, your kid's first medal, or your hand raised in competition — there's a mat with your name on it.
All Levels
Adult Jiu-Jitsu
Teens 14+ & Adults · White → Black belt
Technical instruction, focused drilling, specific training and live rolls — scaled to exactly where you are. Walk in nervous on day one, walk out hooked. Competition team available for those who want to test it.
Deeper technique, live training and real strategy in a structured, supportive room. Builds discipline, focus and the kind of quiet confidence that follows them to school and beyond — plus a competition team that wins.
Foundational movement, coordination and listening skills through play. Our youngest students learn to fall, move and problem-solve — making friends and burning energy while building a base for life.
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 same system competing — and winning — at ADCC Worlds and across the biggest stages in grappling.
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.
NO-GIThe way grappling really works
What we're built on
The four pillars
01
Community
You don't train alone. Mutual support and collective strength — your toughest training partners become your closest friends.
02
Self-Mastery
Refining body, mind and spirit through discipline. Every roll is a lesson in patience, problem-solving and showing up.
03
Self-Defense
Real, tested ability to protect yourself and stay composed under pressure — confidence you carry everywhere.
04
Competition
For those who want it: measure your skill under the lights. Our team competes — and brings home hardware.
Receipts, not promises
A room that produces champions
Gold at ADCC Worlds
Our competitors don't just show up — they podium on grappling's biggest stages. That's the level of coaching standing in your corner from day one.
