10th Planet Bastrop Brings No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Training to Central Texas

10th Planet Bastrop officially opened its doors to the Bastrop community, bringing high-level no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training to Central Texas. Led by first-degree black belt Gabe Tuttle, the academy introduces a modern approach to grappling that emphasizes technique, problem solving, and real-world application.

As Bastrop continues to grow, the demand for structured fitness, self-defense training, and community-centered activities has increased. The opening of 10th Planet Bastrop provides local residents with access to one of the most recognized no-gi jiu-jitsu systems in the world.

A Modern Approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Unlike traditional gi-based training, no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on movement, leverage, and control without reliance on clothing grips. This creates a faster-paced style of training that many practitioners view as highly practical for both competition and self-defense.

The 10th Planet system, founded by Eddie Bravo, has become known for innovation and adaptability. Students learn how to control opponents through positioning and timing rather than strength, making the training accessible to people of different sizes and athletic backgrounds.

Experienced Leadership in Bastrop

Head coach Gabe Tuttle brings more than a decade of teaching experience to the academy. Having trained and coached in San Diego and Austin, he has worked with beginners, hobbyists, and competitive athletes. His coaching philosophy centers on helping students develop confidence and consistency through structured instruction.

"The goal of the academy is not only to teach techniques but also to create an environment where students can progress safely and steadily over time." - Gabe Tuttle
