Here at 10th Planet Burbank we believe in quality instruction by quality instructors.  All of our instructors are experienced, high level martial artists.  Some have taught and done seminars worldwide and compete in their given style.   Most even have amateur and pro fight records.  We also strive for continued improvement, not just for our students, but also for our instructors.  That is why they all still train under masters outside our school.  This helps us constantly bring you the very best that the martial arts world has to offer.

Sensei Kim Ferguson is the founder of Blue Dragon Martial Arts, home of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Burbank.  She teaches all our kids classes including 10th Planet kids.  She holds a black belt in Tenshin Kai Karate and a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu under Leka Vieira and Eddie Bravo.  She has over 12 years experience in the martial arts and has been teaching kids for the last 6 years.  To learn more about Sensei Kim and our kid's programs, visit the kid's website at:  http://www.bdmartialarts.com/kidfront.html
Kru Victor has taught kids and adults Muay Thai, Jiu-jitsu, and Judo.  He has an amateur Muay Thai Kickboxing record of 20-5-2.  He trains and fights out of the Muay Thai Acadamy in North Hollywood. 

He stays true to traditional Muay Thai KickBoxing philosophies and techniques while creating a high energy class that's suitable and enjoyable by all levels.

Check his class out and find out why he's described as "25% punch, 20% kick, 80% knee, 10% elbow, and 100% all guts."  That's 135% more than most instructors!

Scott takes a 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu approach to his MMA fighting style.

"I'm a Jiu Jitsu guy.  I don't want to get hit.  I like ice cream.  I like girls with big asses.  I like dogs. Getting hit is not on that list of things that I like."

Scott is an active Pro-MMA-fighter with a record of 4-0, with all of his wins coming by submission in the first or second round. Scott trains out of Legends in Hollywood, and is one of Eddie Bravo's top 10th Planet students, currently ranked a brown belt.  He is sponsored by TapOut and OTM and was featured in the 9th episode of the TapOut reality series on Versus.
Coach Alder Hampel is our adult 10th Planet instructor.  He is one of Eddie’s top brown belts and an excellent teacher.  We are sure you will enjoy and appreciate his technical understanding of the 10th Planet system along with his calm and cool manner and years of teaching experience.  Coach Alder also teaches at CSUN, and is the keeper of 10th Planet Watch.
