The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world is about to get a futuristic upgrade as Eddie Bravo, founder of the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system, ventures into cutting-edge holographic technology to revolutionize martial arts instruction.
The innovative project utilizes Meta Quest technology to create a three-dimensional holographic version of Bravo that students can interact with directly in their homes. This approach hopes to to make high-level BJJ instruction accessible to practitioners worldwide regardless of their geographic location or proximity to a 10th Planet academy.
During the recording process, Bravo was captured demonstrating techniques while working with partners on various ground-based movements.
“We’re going to be on the ground doing the technical stuff,”
he explained during the session, highlighting the comprehensive nature of the instruction being recorded.
The holographic system represents a significant leap forward in remote martial arts education. Rather than simply watching instructional videos, students will be able to receive guidance from a lifelike representation of Bravo himself, creating an immersive learning experience that closely mimics in-person instruction.
The project has generated considerable excitement within the BJJ community, with practitioners expressing enthusiasm about the innovative approach to learning. One participant described their involvement as
“the coolest experience ever,”
while another called it
“an amazing experience.”
The development process involved multiple 10th Planet practitioners helping to demonstrate techniques and positions. The recording sessions captured Bravo‘s systematic approach to instruction, ensuring that the holographic version maintains the quality and detail that students expect from his teaching.
This technological advancement comes at a time when virtual and augmented reality applications are expanding rapidly across various fields. By embracing holographic instruction, Bravo positions himself at the forefront of educational innovation in martial arts, potentially setting a new standard for how combat sports techniques are taught and learned.
The enthusiasm surrounding the project suggests strong demand for this type of immersive instructional content. Comments from the BJJ community indicate anticipation for when the holographic system will become available, with practitioners eager to experience this new form of learning in their own training spaces.
