At 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Fullerton+Orange, our culture is built on four foundational pillars that define who we are and how we train. Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a martial art—it’s a discipline that shapes character, builds resilience, and fosters growth in every practitioner. These pillars provide a structure for achievement and advancement in our students.

1. Community – Lift Each Other Up

Jiu-Jitsu is an individual journey, but progress is fostered through the people around us. We train in an environment of support, respect, and accountability. We believe in lifting each other up—on and off the mats—helping teammates refine their skills, build confidence, and overcome obstacles. We will all face challenges on and off the mats and our coaches and teammates will be there to lift us up in those times. From beginners to advanced practitioners, we contribute to the collective strength of our gym, knowing that when one of us improves, we all rise.

2. Self-Mastery – Sharpen the Mind, Strengthen the Body, Elevate the Spirit

Jiu-Jitsu is a constant refinement of body, mind, and spirit. Every roll is a lesson in patience, adaptability, and problem-solving. The process of learning, failing, and adjusting creates the skills of discipline, resilience, and clarity under pressure. Mastering Jiu-Jitsu is not about arriving at a final destination but about committing to an ongoing journey. We train with intention, knowing that through this practice, we are forging stronger, more composed, and more capable versions of ourselves.

3. Self-Defense – Newfound Confidence Through Training

The foundation of Jiu-Jitsu lies in the ability to neutralize threats. Through consistent training in positional control, escapes, and submissions, students develop real-world readiness and the ability to handle adversity with composure. This newfound confidence isn’t just about physical altercations—it reshapes how we carry ourselves, how we approach challenges, and how we move through life with assurance and self-reliance.

4. Competition – Effective & Professional

Whether you are a novice or an advanced practitioner, competition provides the proving ground to measure the effectiveness of your daily practice in a high-pressure setting. It tests your ability to apply techniques under resistance, refine strategy, and adapt in real-time. But the greatest lesson from competition isn’t just about winning or losing—it’s about learning how to operate with effectiveness and professionalism. The process of preparing, performing, and evaluating our performance teaches us to approach training with greater discipline, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to growth, precision, and execution.
