Is there a 10th Planet in Bend Oregon?

Short answer: No—Bend still doesn’t have an official 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu academy. You may have spotted a “10th Planet Bend – coming soon” site (copyright 2023), but as of today the doors remain closed.

A Quick Recap of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu

Founded by Eddie Bravo—whose 2003 ADCC upset of Royler Gracie put no-gi on the global map—10th Planet is famous for the Lockdown half-guard, Rubber Guard, and other submission-wrestling innovations. If you’re hunting “10th Planet Bend Oregon” hoping to dive into that style, read on for your best current option.
