It's hypothetical remember?
So hypothetically, it funds the Advanced class. If you never got ranked in gi, you might not have to pay it.

So I moved out to the Seattle area about a year ago. I started with Joe Durham and the other 10th planet indy OG's when we got the affiliation and helped to teach a some there. My intention out here was to start a hot box, but it has been a difficult move both financially and in the amount of time I spend commuting. That said, it is still a goal of mine and I would love to get together with any of the other 10 peeps out here. I currently have been training at Mat Chess MMA in the U district. It's a great gym with a high level of instruction, and very open minded to the point my coaches strategy for my last tourney was to jump guard and play my 10th planet game. I've trained with Phill, Nathan, and the other guys in Portland as well. I would like to make a trip to HQ this summer to let Eddie evaluate my progress and move forward from there. I currently live in Everett, WA but will be moving somewhere between here and Burlington, WA soon. Anyway, anybody in the area PM me phone #'s and we can start getting together to work things out.
This guy^ knows his shit and will be one of your best training partners you could ever have. He is my brother for life and I will always have his back. We miss you dearly Aaron!
I am in Bellingham. If you're moving towards Burlington that's not far away at all. We should def get together and train. I train at a very open gym and I rep the 10P system there hard. I'm a former 10P Portland warrior under John Salami before he bolted for Cali and I migrated up here. Anyways I'd love to get together and train. Seattle is too far for my crazy busy life right now. Could make it down there some but not regularly. But I would do whatever I can to help the movement to get a Seattle hotbox going
Yeah. My life is crazy right now. I live in Everett, train in Seattle, and work in Issaquah. It's a long drive, but the level of skill and instruction at Mat Chess is amazing. My main concern with finding a gym was that most schools seemed to be very gi oriented, and not to open to 10th planet specific techniques. I feel very lucky to have found a place that not only tolerates my 10th planet style and gear, but encourages me to use it and integrate it into what I am learning there.
Thanks Joe. If it wasn't for you 10th planet indy would have been lost a long time ago. I miss having someone that was exactly the same size and experience level so that it was clear when one of us was getting lazy! We should have a "who the fuck are these guys" invitational super fight next time we get together. :) Glad to hear you're back on the mats!
Zombie thread resurrected. Any new updates?
I'll be in Seattle for a bit following the NW NoGI Summit! I'd love to stop by a couple spots.
