Eddie Bravo rallied his 10th Planet troops with a rousing speech last weekend that clearly laid out his plans.
Speaking to assembled coaches and students ahead of an in-house tournament at his 10th Planet Los Angeles headquarters, Bravo explained how -- whether people like it or not -- the goal is to become the best team in submission-only jiu-jitsu.
Bravo marked out the Renzo Gracie elite no-gi competition team known as the "Danaher Death Squad" as the current best.
And his goal for his team is nothing less than to beat everybody else, describing his campaign as "war."

[The goal of] every moon (affiliate), every moon out there… is to make sure we're No. 1 in the sub-only game.Watch the video here. Speech runs from 2:40 to 14:35.
If you don't agree with that you're not going to get kicked out, but that's the No. 1 mission.
There's a new form of grappling out there, submission-only. Shit, it wasn't around 10 years ago. It's around now, and the goal is to be No. 1.
Whoever's number one right now -- hey, the DDS (Danaher Death Squad) guys are fucking most people up -- we got to get them.
So that's the goal, every day you teach class, every day… Every day it's about being No. 1.
If we don't get No. 1, that's fine. I'm not going to jump off a bridge. But it's not going to be because we didn't try our hardest.
I just want to win. I just want to go out there and begin domination.
My goal is to be No. 1 -- that's it. And if I have to light fires under people's asses, that's all I can do.
I got to light fires under all your asses. For me this is war.
