Our
Story.
10th Planet Long Beach: A fusion of community, high-level no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction, and personal growth to empower individuals of all skill levels, including those with a passion for competition.
Founded in 2016 by Chai Sirisute, a 3rd-degree black belt under Eddie Bravo and Rigan Machado, 10th Planet Long Beach (10PLB) is rooted in innovative jiu-jitsu and tournament success. As part of Eddie Bravo’s revolutionary system, we continue to push the boundaries of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
In 2020, a fire during the George Floyd protests tested our resilience, but by 2022, we rebuilt stronger than ever, ready to grow in a post-COVID world.
At 10PLB, we’re more than a gym—we’re a supportive community offering expert training in jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and strength and conditioning for all skill levels. Join us to build strength, confidence, and resilience on your journey to empowerment.
Our Coaches.
Our coaches aren't just about technique; they're about building a tight-knit community where everyone thrives. Together, we're not just learning jiu-jitsu; we're building bonds, gaining confidence, and growing stronger, both on and off the mats.
