Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a dynamic martial art and self-defense system that focuses on ground fighting and submission techniques. Developed from traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, BJJ emphasizes leverage, technique, and strategy over sheer strength, making it effective for individuals of all sizes. Practitioners learn to control and submit opponents through joint locks and chokeholds, developing both physical fitness and mental discipline. Ideal for enhancing self-defense skills, improving flexibility, and boosting confidence, BJJ also fosters a supportive community through its rigorous yet accessible training.
10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu is a distinctive branch of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) that was developed by Eddie Bravo. Some key aspects that set 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu apart from traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu include:
Emphasis on No-Gi Training: 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu specializes in training without the traditional gi uniform, known as No-Gi Jiu Jitsu. This approach is tailored for competition and self-defense scenarios where grips on clothing are not available. The techniques and strategies are adapted for a faster, more dynamic environment where grips are limited to the opponent’s body.
Innovative Techniques: Eddie Bravo has introduced several unique techniques and positions that are not commonly found in traditional BJJ. These include the Rubber Guard, Twister, and Truck. These innovations often focus on creating new angles and opportunities for submission.
Creative and Adaptable Approach: 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu encourages creativity and adaptability in technique. The system is known for its open-minded approach to incorporating and evolving techniques that can be effective in various grappling situations, often integrating elements from other martial arts and grappling styles.
Emphasis on Flow and Movement: The training in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu often emphasizes smooth, flowing movements and transitions between positions. This style of training aims to develop fluidity and adaptability, enabling practitioners to seamlessly move between different techniques and positions.
While 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu is rooted in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu principles, it distinguishes itself through its focus on no-gi training, innovative techniques, and a dynamic, creative approach to grappling.
