My White Belt

Tips is a black belt in the 10th Planet system under Scott “Einstein” Epstein and has been teaching no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu since 2012. He served as the main coach for various programs at 10th Planet West LA and 10th Planet Van Nuys. Additionally, he has experience cornering jiu-jitsu and MMA fighters.
He began his jiu-jitsu journey with 10th Planet in 2009 while pursuing a career in MMA. Over the course of 12 years, he has participated in amateur MMA fights, muay thai smokers, and no-gi grappling competitions. In addition to achieving his fighting goals, martial arts have brought about positive changes in his life, including improved confidence, social skills, and relationships. His personal journey has made him humble and grateful for the opportunities in life.
He believes that no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a valuable skill suitable for anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It offers both physical fitness and the acquisition of deadly techniques. Furthermore, it serves as a stress reliever in today's busy world. His ultimate goal is to assist individuals in achieving their goals through martial arts, as it has greatly enhanced his own life.
