“This episode of the Gracie Breakdown is a little longer than usual, but for a VERY good reason, there were simply too many “breakdownable” moments! Ryron and Rener analyze Frank Mir’s impressive Kimura Armlock that broke Nogueira’s arm, and then they dissect Jones’ slick standing Guillotine that put Lyoto Machida to sleep. They also, give honorable demonstrations of the highlights from the TUF 14 Finale including Ferguson’s rolling Omoplata and Brandao’s beautiful armlock from the guard!”
Legendary 27-Time BJJ Champion Renato Laranja first ever east coast appearance. Professor took time to personally counsel all attendees on how to improve their lives and had a profound effect on this 10th Planet student.
That’s me on the 1’s and 2’s reppin’ 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys! Not to mention a special surprise from everybody’s favorite 27 time mundial champion, Renato Laranja

Last nights’ event was a complete success with Smoke Serpent premiering their music video for the song “Jiu Jitsu” at Dim Mak Studios (formerly cinespace). The entire room was filled with 10th Planeteers from 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys, HQ, Riverside, and Vista! Whereas most places you would hear conversation of work, family, and the holidays, last night was all about jiu jitsu, mma, and gym talk. Which ultimately led up to the premiere before the premiere. I’m talking about Eddie Bravo’s Mastering The Twister DVD which is set for 2012! A big thanks to everyone that showed up last night, Steve Moreno of Melee Fightgear, and Six Digits Productions. 2012 is going to be our year!
Here’s a variation of one of the moves I showed tonight in class at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys. This was originally shown to me by one of my former top students, Eddie “Kim” Lee. He came to me from Paragon Jiu Jitsu, where Jiu Jitsu standout, MMA fighter and black belt, Bill “The Grill” Cooper had shown it to him. He literally submitted all the students in the class, and even some of the instructors with it. It was such a good move, I asked him to show it to the rest of the academy.

Attention 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys members, coaches, friends and family. Monday, December 19th, Mike Pack, owner of Bite Defense, will be speaking to the class on the importance of wearing the right mouth protection.
As some of you may know, wearing a mouth guard can prevent you having to pay, literally thousands of dollars from damaging to your teeth. Did you know wearing the wrong kind of mouth guard can also cause other problems as well? Having the proper protection can also keep you from getting concussions, broken jaws, chipped teeth and more!
This is an important event to attend. So, get the facts, and save yourself the pain, the time lost training, the ugly teeth, and the money it would otherwise cost you for not getting the right information.
Join us 12-19 at 8pm sharp for a short seminar to find out if you are wearing the right mouth guard. You will also have an opportunity to order your own custom mouth piece. This could literally save you a huge headache.
We are proud of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys’s fighter, Georgie Garcia! He is the U of MMA’s fighter of the month. For those of you who don’t know, he went 4-0 this year as an amateur, and looks to take the world by storm in 2012! Here’s a link to the article.
