It is a no-gi based style so the fighters use rash guards as their main fighting wear.

10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu fighters are known to employ unorthodox guard positions and a distinct focus on leg lock attacks.

[3] In 2003, after earning a black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado, Eddie Bravo opened his first 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu school in Los Angeles, California.

Bravo worked for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) during this time and felt high-level jiu-jitsu practitioners weren't winning as much as they should have, mainly attributing this to them wearing a gi when training jiu-jitsu, but competing in MMA without one.

The style has spread overseas to Ireland, the United Kingdom,[8] Germany,[9] Sweden, Australia,[10] Mexico,[11] Brazil,[12] and Korea.
