Sachnoff

Congratulations to Adam Sachnoff, the latest 10th Planet SF blue belt. Adam undoubtedly earned his belt after his amazing performance at the recent Jiu Jitsu By The Bay tournament, submitting all three of his opponents in under two minutes each. Little known fact, his complexion comes from his mother, who is Irish, and his father, who is a bright orange shipping freighter.

Latest Blues – Alex and Peter

Peter Alex Blue

Congratulations to Alex Yocum and Peter Hendricks, the latest students to receive their blue belts at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu, San Francisco. Both have been dedicated students for years, with these belts serving as mere symbols of what we all already know – they’re badasses on the mat.

Peter receives his belt mere weeks before leaving San Francisco forever (maybe). Since he is clearly dead to us all now, if you see him in class, pretend you can’t see or hear him.

Alex is still cool.
