About 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Lexington
About Us
10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Lexington is built for people who want real jiu jitsu — modern, no-gi grappling that works. Rooted in the 10th Planet system developed by Eddie Bravo, our training strips away tradition for tradition’s sake and focuses on pressure, control, and effective submission grappling. We train hard, think critically, and push each other to improve, whether your goal is self-defense, competition, or simply becoming harder to break on and off the mats.
The academy is led by Scott Elliott, owner and head instructor of 10th Planet Richmond, a proven Central Kentucky gym built from the ground up. For years, Richmond has produced tough, technical grapplers and a culture that values consistency, accountability, and skill over hype. That same experience, coaching philosophy, and standard of excellence now comes to Lexington — not as an experiment, but as a continuation of work already done.
