Together we have trained and studied in many systems, but the 10th Planet no GI system created by Eddie Bravo has made the biggest impression on us. It is an innovative approach to Jiu Jitsu and Eddie Bravo’s teaching methods are hard to beat.

His approach is fresh and alive... a term that you will learn is important no matter what martial art you study and hence... we are still students of the arts as well as teachers
