Rules & Criteria:
1. All hotboxes must be approved by Eddie.
2. The leader of the hotbox must be an active pro member of www.10thplanetjj.com and participate on the Nibiru Forum.
3. The leader of the hotbox will not make any money or profit from the hotbox in any way shape or form.
4. The leader of the hotbox must be sponsored by a 10th Planet Affiliate instructor. Example, Brandon Woolsey will be under the guidance of Coach Herzog, and the Essex Hotbox will be under Sean Bollinger.
5. The leader of the hotbox must meet and train with his sponsored instructor at least once per calendar year.
6. The leader of a Hotbox must have at least 10 competition wins (No-gi matches or mma fights) on video where you can see a 10th Planet Logo on shorts or shirt, rashguard, etc. or throwing up the 10p gang sign after a victory, before establishing a hotbox.
7. A Hotbox must not be within 30 miles of an existing official 10th Planet moon.
8. The Leader of a Hotbox may not rank others, only affiliate instructors can rank their students. However, with the Hotbox leaders recommendation the sponsor instructor may evaluate and rank the student.
9. Hotboxes do not own exclusive rights to their city, if a qualified 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu instructor moves to the same area he has the ability to open a certified affiliate. The focus is what’s best for the system as a whole.
10. Hotboxes must state clearly on their websites, facebook pages, etc. that all 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu classes are FREE!
11. With the ultimate goal of a hotbox being to transition to a official affiliate there is a 2 year maximum in which a hotbox may retain its hotbox status.

12. Hotboxes may produce t-shirts only using their hotbox logo. Rashguards, shorts, etc. are for affiliates only.
13. Hotboxes may not advertise 10th Planet on the exterior or buildings, windows, etc. You may hang a banner of your hotbox logo on the inside of your location.
(rules subject to change at anytime)
The bar to become an official 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Hotbox has been set high and with good reason. Not everyone will be able to meet the criteria, nor will everyone be able to maintain the level of involvement necessary to keep their status official with the system. The criteria is set as a means to validate the level of investment the Hotbox leader has in the system itself. There is no financial investment in becoming an official hotbox, however we are interested in the motivation of those wanting to become official, Eddie and the system have been burned in the past, this is our checks and balances. Eddie is allowing the hotbox leaders to use his systems name in an official capacity, something our affiliates spend a reasonable yet decent amount of money on, the investment he is asking for in return for the use of his name and hard work is extremely reasonable.
** Just to be clear, you do NOT need to become a Hotbox prior to becoming an affiliate.
