Michael Hillebrand Makes EBI History with Quickest Submission

Before becoming the Head Instructor at 10th Planet Oakland, Michael Hillebrand trained at 10th Planet San Francisco, where he honed the skills that earned him the quickest submission in EBI history. Competing on one of the biggest stages in Jiu Jitsu, Michael faced none other than Gordon Ryan—a grappler who would go on to be recognized as one of the greatest athletes in our sport.

Although Michael fell short in his battle against the reigning champion, his performance showcased the heart and technique that now define 10th Planet Oakland. Gordon Ryan’s rise to legendary status further highlights the level of competition Michael faced that day.
