About The Instructor
Alder has been practicing various martial arts since the age of 8. He located in the Los Angeles area where he is the head instructor of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu at 10th Planet Van Nuys, in addition to teaching private lessons at Legends (the home of Eddie Bravo’s 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Los Angeles).
His approach to teaching is simple yet effective. Alder likes to teach the 10th Planet system to his students, whether new or experienced, in a way that creates their jiu jitsu game or improves upon their existing one. His approach works with people’s given & existing abilities, while simultaneously building up their weaknesses. Nothing makes him smile more than seeing his students taking a sense of pride in their lessons and the feeling they get the first time they’ve pulled off a move they’ve been perfecting.
Alder runs the jiu-jitsu blog http://www.10thplanetwatch.com, where he promotes the art of 10th Planet jiu jitsu and it’s application in MMA. He is available for seminars & private lessons worldwide.
