10th Planet Black Belt

Isaac Cordova — Head Instructor

Isaac leads the academy at Fullerton. He's a 10th Planet black belt and an active competitor at the advanced level, and he's been part of this room since the early days — which means most of the people training here came up under his instruction.


Students who train under Isaac tend to describe the same two things: a room that feels like family, and coaching that doesn't skip the details. He's as invested in a first-week beginner's progress as in a competitor's game plan.

Lineage

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu was founded by Eddie Bravo, whose no-gi system developed out of a specific frustration with how traditional jiu jitsu translated without the gi. Every 10th Planet academy teaches that system, and every black belt in it traces back through that lineage.
