10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu is a  modern non-traditional style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu developed by Eddie  Bravo. After earning a black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado, Eddie  Bravo focused his jiu-jitsu on training without the gi, partially  because of the applications to mixed martial arts. The main premise  behind the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system is that the art should keep  evolving. 

All classes focus on 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu techniques blended with  wrestling, Judo, and submission grappling. The goal of the class is to  help students become well rounded grapplers by emphasizing the 10th  Planet Jiu-Jitsu system focusing on the core movements, positions, and  submissions in the 10th Planet System well as crucial No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu  concepts. 

10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu classes also focus on the 10th Planet Warmups.  The 10th Planet Warmups are a sequence of techniques lettered A-H. Each  day of the week focuses on a different letter and thus ensures students  are exposed to the overall 10th Planet System of techniques, sequences,  and movements.

The Kids program is for ages 5-14 and focuses on building a strong  foundation and understanding of Jiu-Jitsu with self defense first and  competition second. This class focuses on essential and intermediate  techniques, body awareness/coordination, and grappling based games to  help students understand core Jiu-Jitsu concepts and ideas.

Kids classes consist of a basic warmup, instruction and  drilling, and live sparring. The basic warmup consists of learning and  practicing core Jiu-Jitsu movements such as forwards and backwards  rolls, hip escapes, and duckwalks. Instruction focuses on 1-2 techniques  per class coupled with partner practice. Each class is ended with a  lively sparring session conducted in a safe environment. The sparring  sessions are designed to help the student apply Jiu-Jitsu techniques  consistently and safely while under pressure.
