Its never been dubbed as official. There's speculation on how well it would work in competition on higher level belts but I really like it and want to show its effectiveness..in time. In time

This is part one of six so there's a lot more to it and has been polished up a bit.

The way I've always liked to look at it is this: if it proves effective to use in no-gi grappling, it's 10th Planet. That is what keeps the system evolving. If Slick Rick hadn't started rubber stamping, we would have no muddy waters. If Bollinger hadn't ever started double baggin', we wouldn't have all of those sick additions.

For what its worth, I'd really like for the puppet master to be effective, but personally I havn't been able to get it to that level yet. Some things will pan out and reveal gamechangers, some things will not. But right now I'm more focused on getting down the staple deadzones as deadly as possible. Oh and halfguard.

Exactly how I look at it as well. If it works no gi then its 10th Planet. I guess what I meant was it hasn't been endorsed by Eddie so its not official in the system..
Ive been able to pull it off on purple belts but no competitions yet to prove its effectiveness but I know I will.

Jeff if a really nice guy, however I can tell you the puppet master series needed more work before putting the videos out. It didn't pass the test at my school.
