10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Beaumont — Southeast Texas's Premier No-Gi BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA Academy
Founded by BJJ Black Belt Brian “Barn Cat” Debes — ranked #1 No-Gi grappler in the United States in 2013 — 10th Planet Beaumont has been forging champions since December 2011.
About 10th Planet Beaumont
10th Planet Beaumont opened its doors on December 12, 2011, bringing Eddie Bravo's revolutionary No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu system to Southeast Texas. Founded and led by Brian “Barn Cat” Debes — a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt who trained directly under Eddie Bravo — our gym is part of a global network spanning over 50 locations worldwide.
We are a 100% No-Gi school. No gis. No excuses. Just pure technique, relentless drilling, and the science of Jiu-Jitsu applied to real-world situations. Whether you want to lose weight, build self-defense skills, compete at the highest level, or join a tight-knit community of athletes — this is your gym.
Our philosophy: size and strength can be overcome by science. Jiu-Jitsu gives the smaller person the tools to dominate any larger opponent — but only if trained correctly. That's what we do here, every single class.
