UFC veteran and TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) season 6 winner, Mac Danzig will be teaching a Striking for MMA Seminar at 10th Planet Van Nuys on 5/17/14. Don’t miss this special event! Whether you want to sharpen your skills or just add another tool to your game, this is the event for you. Modern MMA has forever changed the landscape of martial arts. You can no longer be a one dimension martial artist. There’s always somebody who will expose your lack of skills. To be able to use your Jiu Jitsu effectively now, you must use your striking to set up your takedowns. The alternative is to eat lots of leather on your way in, and wake up staring up at the lights asking yourself what happened!  CALL us and book your spot today, there are limited amounts of space, so act now!

Eddie Mendez will be making his UFC debut down in Brazil June 8th. He will be training his Jiu Jitsu with us at 10th Planet Van Nuys. Mendez is known for his boxing, wrestling and putting exciting fights. He will be taking on Black Belt, Daniel Sarafian from The Ultimate Fighter Brazil. Sarafian is coming off a fight of the night loss vs C.B. Dolloway. This one should be candidate for fight of the night!

Congratulations to 10th Planet Yuma’s purple belt, Kelvin Gastelum on winning “The Ultimate Fighter” season 17! In an amazing fight, he edged out the favorite, Uriah Hall, by a split decision. At 21 years of age, many thought Kelvin had no chance against what many people called the scariest contestant TUF has ever had. Before tonight the people were relatively unfamiliar with Kelvin, I’m happy he was able to shock the world with his heart, and his wrestling. Awesome victory!

George stopped by 10th Planet Headquarters @ Legends MMA in Hollywood to train some Rubber Guard techniques. He was kind enough to give us a few minutes for 10th Planet Watch.
