10th Planet Watch – 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys Blog

Awesome flyer! Looks like there’s some more comic book nerds in the house 😉

 

 September of 2007, Brandon “Never Quit” Quick relocated to the Lone Star state and created the first 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu school outside of Hollywood, Ca.  Brandon started his career in the Jean Jacques Machado jiu jitsu system and then followed Eddie Bravo to the Bomb Squad when he created 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu.  After 10th Planet relocated to Legends MMA Facility, owned by Randy Cotoure and Bas Rutten, Brandon continued his training at Legends MMA. 

Now, Brandon Quick, owns and teaches at Trinity Combat Academy/10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Dallas Ft Worth.  He is a brown belt and a student under Eddie “The Twister” Bravo. The main focus and drive for Brandon is to attain the ‘holy grail’ of no-gi… an Eddie Bravo black belt and expanding the knowledge of no-gi jiu jitsu to all those who seek 10th Planet. Only no-gi is practiced and only no-gi belts are earned. 

Officially waving the flag, 10th Planet DFW has started competing as of may 2008.

Brandon Quick on Mission Control to Crocodile and the dominance of the Spider Web

Brandon Quick shows the basics of getting to the Dogfight position from half guard. There’s some nice details in here. This is a basic move, but sometimes the finer points are overlooked.

Obviously flexibility is important for playing rubber guard. It’s one of the things I’m constantly working on improving.

Here are Eddie and Brandon Quick both talking about the subject matter. Eddie has specifically stated numerous times, in order to get a black belt in the 10th Planet system, you’ll need to get your knees all the way to the ground on the butterfly stretch. That along with knowing the entire system of course. When you’re watching the “Way Cool Weekdays” block on the boob tube with “Family Matters and Full House,” be getting your stretch on.

Brandon Quick shows the 100% Twisted.

Here’s Brandon’s variation on the Peruvian Necktie. I like how he secures the ankle and can hold on even when the opponent tries to roll out.

Here’s and example of the peruvian necktie in action from the recent UFN CB Dollaway vs Jesse Taylor

You see this come up all the time in MMA where somebody will get the back, and can’t finish due to the opponent holding on to the gloves. Brandon Show’s a slick way to go from the back to The Twister.

Brandon Quick demonstrates one of Scott “Einstein” Epstein’s money moves, “The Epste-cutioner”. It’s a great alternative if your opponent keeps his hands tightly in the t-rex position or doesn’t tap to a north/south choke.

10th Planet DFW’s Brandon Quick shows a new brutal way to set up the twister from the 100%. It traps the opponent’s far arm, making it easier to apply the submission.
