10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Birmingham AL

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Birmingham AL operates under the 10th Planet system, which is known for its exclusive focus on no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Located at 7001 Crestwood Blvd, the academy serves Birmingham with programs that emphasize functional grappling skills suited for both self-defense and competitive training. The school was established to bring the distinct 10th Planet style—developed by Eddie Bravo and centered on no-gi techniques—to the local martial arts scene, complementing other traditional gi-based schools in the area. Training at 10th Planet Birmingham includes a variety of classes that cover the core elements of no-gi grappling, alongside wrestling and MMA striking. The curriculum supports progression from fundamentals through advanced sparring, with dedicated sessions like BJJ 101 introducing beginners to the system’s unique approaches. The academy also offers gi classes, which is notable given 10th Planet’s usual no-gi specialization, as well as programs tailored for kids in both gi and no-gi formats. Open mat sessions provide additional time for students to drill and roll outside of structured classes. Beyond Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the gym integrates MMA striking and kickboxing into its schedule, reflecting a broader commitment to mixed martial arts training. Wrestling classes are available to enhance takedown and control skills, rounding out the grappling foundation. The facility is wheelchair accessible, indicating attention to practical accommodations. Drop-in visitors are accepted, making it accessible for travelers or those testing the style.
