12 year old gets Excommunicated

Garbage ethics from a garbage school imo. And I thought jiu jitsu was supposed to be about bettering yourself. Looks like the authorities at that school should take a lesson from what they're supposed to be teaching.

Well, I hope there is another school around for your sons sake. I'm all for the morale high ground and all but realistically for your son training jiu jitsu, is it better you choose 10thplanet riverside over your local bjj gym?

Also, its not as if they can track you going down to 10thplanet, especially if its just twice a month.

Words to live by everyone brings something to the table so if they want to be small minded and not add to their students skill level, then thats not the place to be truth be told im sorry for your son but in the end he will be way better off because hes free to learn everything instead of learning what ONE person believes works...

Dennis hit on the head. If you guys are ever in Rochester, he is welcome to come to my teens class anytime!

[Jack LaBarge]

Well, the great news is you live in Vegas. No shortage of places to train, unlike the most of us! Still have Cobra Kai, Robert Drysdale Bjj, Xtreme Couture, Wanderlei Silva gym, Tapout gym who has Vinny Magalhaes (10th planet friendly) to name a few! There's more but I'm already jealous!

i was being honest with both schools, 10th planet riverside had no problem with it (sean and jeremy are great guys)

there are other local schools

my son wants to be the best in the world and i want him to be as well, so i am willing to get him the best training that i can to increase his chances at success, his game increased after adding 10th planet

Jason has spelled the CORRECT!

[JeffRace727]

If they have to make you choose then don't choose them, I'd say you made the right choice.

[watty31]

You definately made the right choice then, I hope I don't have the same situation where I train, once i get my flexibiliy up and start incorporating rubber guard, as there's nowhere else to train for miles around. best of luck.
