First-degree black belt under Richie "Boogeyman" Martinez. Over a decade of teaching at the highest levels of no-gi jiu-jitsu.
1st°Black Belt · 10+ years teaching
"Welcome to 10th Planet Bastrop! I'm Gabe Tuttle, a first-degree black belt under Richie 'Boogeyman' Martinez with over a decade of teaching experience."
My jiu-jitsu journey started in San Diego, training at a couple of local schools before settling in with Richie and Geo Martinez in 2015 when 10th Planet San Diego opened up. I'm very proud to be the school's first homegrown black belt — especially being promoted under Richie and Geo, two of 10th Planet's most renowned and celebrated individuals.
I spent several years teaching at 10th Planet San Diego and helping develop one of the most decorated schools in the affiliation. After earning my black belt, I moved to Austin in 2020 and eventually took on the head instructor role at 10th Planet Austin.
It was a pleasure to help build the army that is now 10PATX — but the time has come to establish and cultivate my own school from the ground up. I'm looking forward to meeting those of you who want to join me on the adventure!
Gabe's instruction has earned the respect of high-level practitioners — including private sessions with Joe Rogan.
Bastrop and South Austin grapplers keep coming back. Here's why.
