Andrew Murillo, better known as "Professor Drew," is a first-degree 10th Planet black belt under Master Eddie Bravo. He started training in 2011 at 10th Planet Van Nuys under Alder Hampel, and about two years into his purple belt he relocated to Murrieta to teach, compete, and build a team. Eddie Bravo promoted him to black belt on June 12, 2023, and awarded him his first degree on July 12, 2026. As a competitor, Drew earned the Gracie Nationals Champion and NAGA Expert Champion titles. In 2018 he opened 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Murrieta and built it into a foundation for learning, growth, and positivity — his passion for jiu jitsu and for teaching comes through in every class.
