Eric Castro

is a purple belt at 10th Planet Pasadena. His jiu jitsu journey started at the end of high school when his brother wanted him to put time into something beneficial. Immediately he was hooked as it allowed him to express himself like an artist. Castro has competed many times in the local competition circuit and brings that experience to his teaching.

“Jiu-jitsu challenges you mentally and physically which has helped me with day to day tasks, I love the community and love sharing my knowledge with others and hope everyones journey will continue further. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
