We showed up kids and adults ready to test ourselves.
Not the results we always want, but exactly what we needed. Some wins, some losses, and a whole lot of learning.
Proud of every single one of you for stepping on the mats and putting it on the line. That’s what growth looks like.
Big thank you to our coaches @georjitsu10p@lilasmadja@thomer10@the_step_over_king@gfit_strengthlab@compella and teammates who came out to support this team shows up for each other every time 🖤💚
Back to the lab 🧪

Professor Erik @compella Cruz has been training and teaching jiu-jitsu for over 20 years. In this episode, the owner and head instructor of @10thplanetpasadena shares how jiu-jitsu survived a pandemic, the Eaton Fire, and countless rounds of rolling.
He shares his perspective on what actually makes a gym work, technically and as a community.
We talked about ego and injury, what it means to be the best at your gym (and why that poses its own set of problems), how a school can become the thing people show up for even when everything outside is falling apart, and why the mat has a way of exposing exactly who you are.
Full conversation on YouTube. Link in bio.
What’s one thing your training environment taught you that had nothing to do with technique? Drop it below.
And then this racist piece of s**t deleted it while his cronies are trying to play it off like it’s a joke. F**k this pedo con man, if you’re still trying to support this human cancer on our world, f**k you too. #enoughisenough #timeisup #arrestthepresident #epsteinfiles
One year ago, the Eaton Fire changed everything.
Our doors were forced closed, our community was shaken, and many of our members lost so much.
But we survived.
We stayed standing.
And now, we’re rebuilding together.
To commemorate one year since the fire, and to support our continued growth, we’re offering a special discount through the end of January: your first month is half off.
Our membership includes:
• Unlimited classes
• Full access to workout equipment & cardio machines
• Showers
• Heavy bags
• Private coaching available
This space has always been more than a gym it’s a community, a place to heal, to grow stronger, and to move forward.
Thank you to everyone who stood by us.
We’re here, and we’re just getting started. 🖤🔥

On January 7th, the fires changed everything.
Our doors were closed for nearly three months.
Over 30 of our members lost everything.
More than half of our community was displaced overnight.
There was no roadmap just taking it one day at a time, trying to survive, trying to be a place of normalcy in the middle of so much loss and uncertainty.
And somehow… we reopened.
Not because it was easy, but because our kids, our families, and our members needed a safe place. A place to move, to breathe, to feel connected again.
We watched our students persevere.
We watched our kids compete, smile, and find joy through jiu jitsu when so much else felt heavy.
We held space for grief, for healing, and for hope.
We leaned on our community.
We hosted seminars to help support the gym and those around us.
We celebrated 8 years of keeping these doors open something that did not feel guaranteed at times this year.
As we look toward 2026, our hope is simple:
That our displaced members find their way back home.
That jiu jitsu finds its way back into their lives the way it always does when we need it most.
We would not still be here without the unwavering support of our local community and the 10th Planet family around the world.
Thank you for carrying us through the hardest season.
We’re still standing.
And we’re not going anywhere. 🖤🥋

Still feeling the energy from this weekend 🖤💚
@pgfworld Qualifiers were a success,
@pinky10pp defended her super fight belt like a champ 👑, and the B-Mac seminar was nothing short of incredible.
Thank you @brandonmc.ninja for coming out, supporting us, and bringing so much light, joy, and jiu jitsu wisdom to our mats.
We are so beyond grateful 🥹🙏 we love you…
This community means everything. #altadenastrong #10thPlanetPasadena #pgf
