About

10th Planet San Diego Jiu Jitsu and Training Center in Grantville operates at 6008 Mission Gorge Rd, San Diego 92120, teaching Eddie Bravo's no-gi jiu jitsu system under the direct instruction of Richie "Boogeyman" Martinez and Geo "Freakahhzoid" Martinez. Both Martinez brothers hold Eddie Bravo black belts: Geo is a three-time ADCC World Championship veteran ranked as the number-one 145-pound competitor in the system, and Richie holds the distinction of being the first Combat Jiu Jitsu Welterweight Champion with multiple title defenses and an IBJJF No-Gi World Championship on his record. The curriculum strips the traditional gi from grappling and builds submissions, sweeps, and guard work around the 10th Planet rubber guard, lockdown, and twister systems that Bravo developed as alternatives to classical Brazilian jiu jitsu technique. Supplementary programs include boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and strength-and-conditioning tracks, and the strength work cross-pollinates with the programming at CrossFit ATR Mission Valley in Grantville, where combat athletes build the anaerobic base that no-gi scrambles demand. Kids' classes run a separate jiu jitsu track with a family rate structure, and the schedule spans early morning through evening blocks six days a week. Mission Gorge Road's position as the gateway corridor to Mission Trails Regional Park puts the academy in the path of the foot and vehicle traffic that moves between the I-8 interchange and the trailheads to the north. The no-gi competition pipeline feeds athletes into ADCC, IBJJF, and Combat Jiu Jitsu brackets, and the Martinez brothers actively corner fighters at regional and national events. Soft-tissue recovery from the joint locks and compression inherent to no-gi grappling drives referrals to Pittman Chiropractic and other Grantville practitioners who treat the cervical and lumbar strain that rolling produces. A second location in Oceanside extends the 10th Planet San Diego footprint into North County under the same Martinez-led instruction team.
