10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Riverside


Riverside, CA - 92506 | (951) 353-8033

Details: 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu is a grappling system that was created by Eddie Bravo in the early 2000s. Eddie Bravo was a student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) legend Jean-Jacques Machado, and he started to develop his own approach to BJJ that focused on techniques and strategies that were outside the traditional BJJ curriculum. The name "10th Planet" comes from the idea that the system is a parallel universe to traditional BJJ, with its own unique set of techniques and principles. The system is based on a "no-gi" approach, which means that it is designed for grappling without the use of a traditional uniform or gi. 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu has gained a reputation as a highly effective system for MMA and submission grappling competitions. It has also become popular among recreational grapplers and fitness enthusiasts who are looking for a challenging and innovative way to train. The system has spread around the world, with many 10th Planet-affiliated gyms and instructors teaching the system in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Marcellini's Martial Arts Academy


Riverside, CA - 92506 | (951) 742-5733

Details: Since 2000, Marcellini’s Martial Arts Academy has been a premier training center known for excellence in the Inland Empire. We pride ourselves in having a safe and effective program that anyone regardless of age, size, or fitness level can benefit from. Our mission is to provide an authentic martial arts program that is conducive to self-awareness and betterment of our students. We work with experts in character development for our children’s program and altercation de-escalation for all ages. Although we teach our students to avoid confrontations, when self-defense becomes necessary it is crucial to have the knowledge and skills to stay safe whether standing in striking range or grappling on the ground. Sam Marcellini shares curriculums, expertise and knowledge from some of the best schools in the world. Sam has an extensive training background with legends in both grappling and striking arts. Although there are many Jiu-Jitsu schools that we consider a part of our family, we find that our training methods and choice of techniques differs a great deal as we focus solely on the self-defense aspect of Jiu-Jitsu rather than sport Jiu-Jitsu. As a young martial arts instructor, Sam started training with Royce Gracie and his father Grandmaster Helio Gracie in 1994 and has been a dedicated part of the team ever since. Royce Gracie’s early victories in the UFC revolutionized the world of martial arts by contributing to a movement towards grappling and ground fighting. As a sparring partner of Royce Gracie and an undefeated fighter himself, Sam Marcellini was the second person ever to receive a black belt from Royce Gracie in California. Sam is also a dedicated student of the original Mejiro gym style of kickboxing, a style that emerged to develop the best strikers in the world. The Mejiro gym style was the first non-Thai school to have success in the brutal and realistic Muay-Thai competitions in Thailand. Mejiro gym is renowned for developing many legendary fighters including Toshio Fujiwara, the first ever non-Thai stadium champion in Thailand, as well as Rob Kaman, a nine-time World Muay-Thai Kickboxing Champion. Sam was the first person ever to become a certified instructor under Rob Kaman in the US. If you are looking for a complete self-defense system, Sam has spent a lifetime studying and blending striking and grappling arts together to achieve just that. His system and instruction hold great value to everyone, from the first-timer to the expert.
