10th Planet Poway Jiu Jitsu

10th Planet Poway Jiu Jitsu has been a dedicated no-gi grappling academy in Poway, California since 2018. The school follows Eddie Bravo’s innovative 10th Planet system, which was developed for no-gi competition and MMA. Head instructor Kevin Berbrich and his coaching team bring experience from the wider 10th Planet Freaks family, and the academy has produced athletes who have earned IBJJF No-Gi World and Pan medals, ADCC Trials podiums, and local team titles. While competition training is a major focus, the academy is also built for beginners and families who want to learn practical self-defense or simply enjoy training. The class schedule centers on no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with a structured program that covers fundamentals, positional training, and live rolling for all levels. Kids’ jiu-jitsu classes are a big part of the weekly schedule, emphasizing confidence, teamwork, and resilience for children in a safe environment. For students looking to round out their skill set, 10th Planet Poway also offers wrestling—drawing on local talent from the accomplished Poway High program—and Muay Thai/kickboxing, with options for both kids and adults. Students have the option to take private lessons for more focused instruction, and open mat sessions are available for extra mat time. The academy is wheelchair accessible, and drop-ins are welcomed for those looking to visit. Whether someone is preparing for competition or just starting out, the coaching staff is known for their hands-on approach and attention to each student’s progress.
