10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu is an unorthodox style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu developed by Eddie Bravo, that focuses on unorthodox techniques as well as training without the use of a gi. Bravo has written two books on the techniques in the style for application in mixed martial arts.[1][2]
[edit] History
Bravo created this no-gi style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after defeating Royler Gracie via triangle choke in the ADCC 2003.[citation needed] 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu focuses on constant pressure from unorthodox positions such as the Rubber Guard, Twister Side Control (The Truck), Monkey Mount (Gangsta Lean) and the half-guard position known as the "Lock Down". The main premise behind 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu is that the art should keep evolving, finding new ways to attack and counter. Bravo believes that standard Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has become boring and predictable.
