WHO ARE WE
10P Bergen was founded in August 2015 by Frode Nilsen, a 10th Planet Black Belt and certified Moonhead under Eddie Bravo and owner of 10p fredrikstad.
He pioneered moves like the “Frodoplata” and “Gogoclinch” in the 10th Planet system.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
in 2023, Frode relocated to start 10P Fredrikstad, passing leadership of 10P Bergen to certified black belts Espen Visnes and Kristian Olsvik.
the handover
In summer 2025, Espen and Kristian decided to step back from coaching, and double black belt Benjamin “Benji-San” Mercury Ito became caretaker and Head Instructor.
