10th Planet Bath, UK
About Us
The NoGi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu programme at ARCH was established by 10th Planet Black Belt Ryan Brinkley under the close eye of 10th Planet Black Belt Will Stone (10P Swindon) and with the support of a wide team of knowledgeable and experienced coaches. Ryan and the team have developed a programme which combines a 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu game with a strong emphasis on wrestling and stand-up grappling, alongside an offensive guard game, bringing in knowledge from world-class Judo and Olympic Wrestling coaches, which has proven highly effective in the competition setting.
As a purpose-built, full-time martial arts academy, ARCH offers high-level instruction across multiple disciplines. Our training philosophy is rooted in providing a complete and well-rounded approach to combat sports—bringing together 10th Planet NoGi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, Wrestling, Judo, Kickboxing, and Self Defence under one roof.
ARCH is beginner-friendly and welcoming, while also home to higher-level students and active competitors. Though many of our members and coaches compete regionally and nationally, competition is never required—we support each student’s individual goals.
