Tenth Planet St.Louis Head Instructor Won the Directors Expert Division! A purple-belt from Omaha and I won 1st and 2nd in Masters Expert. We also had victories in novice through intermediate, Kid through Masters. Although the official results are not in yet, I have tabulated the team totals and we are in 1st place for adult no-gi, and 1st for overall, these results will certainly become official within the next few days.
We are conquering the midwest, city by city.
*Eric Schuettenberg* is our head instructor who won the Directors Expert Divison.
It was a hell of a battle for 1st and 2nd. A 6-minute scramble with no points, no advantages, followed by a 2-minute OT, followed by ERICs hand being raised!
Thank You to Eric, Brian Stuebner, and Eddie Bravo for helping to make MANY of my dreams come true!
Congrats!
Good Job guys, Looking for a repeat perfromance in Chicago.
Dont forget the strong rep by 10th Planet Springfield and Omaha. Those guys were killing it:)
They need to put the team results out....
theres probably all sorts of disputes and arguments going one. Cause if 10th Planet took that overall team title that would crazy huge especially in Rodrigo Vaghi's hood
Well i guess it isn't his hood anymore is it?
Looks like they have posted some of the results, anways:
No-Gi results:

I see a lot of 10th Planet names on there, Erics' included.
I find it interesting that they posted all the individual results, but are waiting on team results once individual results have been "corrected"? Why post the individual results then?
Well they still haven't corrected Ant's name it still says Ant LorezQuote:

which one of You Omaha guys did I grapple? He was a purple belt?
You went against Matt Hester.
You went up against Matt!?! He makes my soul piss itself when I roll with him! How'd you end up with him?
Better question; how are you still alive? Are you secretly Iron Man? Someone check him for an Arc Reactor. But seriously, props man Matts one of the best in the Midwest you did well.Quote:

As to how I got matched with Matt; I entered the expert division. Ive been training for 4 years, but just joined 10P in December. I had previously placed 2nd in intermediate so I thought Id give it a shot. My 1st BJJ instructor has a black-belt in Jeet Kun Do so I never got a promotion from him. My 2nd BJJ instructor Kyle Watson never promoted me because I never took his gi classes regularly, and I only trained under him for 6 months. So, I am still a white-belt, although its starting to turn a little grey.
The expert division doesnt have nearly as many illegal moves, so I dont have to go through a rulebook in my head the whole time Im grappling. And besides, theres no such thing as sand-bagging in the expert division. I highly recomend it.
Looking forward to seeing You at NAGA Missouri, October 13th.
Where are the vids?!
I am getting most of Omaha's put together, I'm slow on the video editing thing. It will be up soon though
Derek I got a team that can take care of everything, they even do security.Quote:

Great Work,Thomas!
I cant wait to see more vids!
I'm so damn proud of my Midwest crew, that's a big team title right thurr :)
It is an incredible team title for 10th planet Jiujitsu. I am super proud if every competitor that represented the 10th planet banner to help win.
The best part is even without gi competitors we came in 2nd overall.
Thomas you kicked ass brother:cool:
Especially when you consider that Team Vaghi has the largest collective school base in the midwest, with nearly 6 affiliate schools in the St. Louis area alone!!! Way to go 10P!!!
If you look at the team scores you can see that we were actually not that far off of the overall team trophy
Is the video of Matt and I ready to post?
btw. I DID enter the gi division, but I did NOT register under 10P.
I got 3rd in Blue-Belt. I pulled off a r(h)ubber-guard Omaplata and finished with the Hazelett. Dude never knew what hit him.
Congrats guys. Love when I see these posts. We are few in numbers but our cohesion is off the hook.
I love how you placed in the blue belt gi division!
The NAGA officials wanted me in purple/brown due to the fact that I entered expert no-gi! Im like "I only have a total of maybe 20 hours gi training"! I wish they would abolish that rule. However it just goes to show how effective the system really is. 1 of these days Im going to do Purp/Brown and freeking WIN it!
Should I sew a 10P patch onto my gi when I do?
1st of all... We have never received any of team trophies from NAGA. 2ndly, when are you going to post that video, Derek?
