Eddie Bravo is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Jean Jacques Machado. Bravo made his mark in competitive jiu jitsu by submitting Royler Gracie at the ADCC Championship (2003), after which he launched his 10th planet jiu jitsu, a program that became widely publicised, gathering a huge following in the grappling and MMA circuits. Eddie’s views on grappling, heavily reliant on positions such as the rubber guard, the twister and a half guard move Bravo labelled as the lock down, caught the eye of several MMA fighters who sought Bravo to learn the system, fighters such as Alan Belcher, Matt Horwich or Vinny Magalhaes, to name a few.
