So I guess this is kind of my introduction thread and a little story on how I finally decided to get a membership on this site, and start putting some effort into 10p principles.
So, I dont got to a moon, or even a hot box. The closest affiliation I have (or really could have geographically) to 10p is that one of my friends and mma training partners is a blue belt under Eddie Bravo.
We have talked alot about 10p and its philosophies and techniques, and of course the M3 match was a hot spark for conversation on the subject, but to be honest that was mostly a fan match and something that was historically interesting (was it a fluke.... clearly not) rather than a super relevant match for modern competitive grappling or mma. So it was a talking point, but it wasnt why I ended up here.
I train both MMA and Tournament Jiu Jitsu/grappling. Two sports Ive come to realize dispute our best efforts are VERY distinct. Im very proud of my lineage and teachers on both sides of that equation, so why even bother with 10p at all?
Well, my no gi game is lagging rediculously behind for one. You get used to grip fighting and gi control and you can lose some of it. So theres that, 10p is by far the most systematically developed no gi style I have ever seen and its systematic in its instruction. That was why I kept intrest, why I kept coming back. Im a grappler who loves grappling, I love wrestling, catch wrestling, judo, sambo, you name it I love it.... and 10p is another branch, so theres that too.
And its five freaking bucks a month for the whole MTS set, thats a big one. Five bucks. I LOVE Marcelo Garcia, but five bucks has got to be one of the best values in grappling period.
All that being said I wasent looking to give up de la riva and spider guard in favor of the lockdown and rubber guard. And thats all this 10p stuff is right? That was kind of the message Id gotten...
And then my friend that I mentioned before turned me onto the 10p warm ups...
Holly hell...
I had been looking for this. Something that would help my flexibility, my open guard, my no gi game... something systematic. As Im reading about and watching the warm ups this is EXACTLY what Ive been looking for, and its not all rubber guard and lockdown centric ... theres spiral guard, de la riva, butterfly and open guard.
No one talks alot about that, but there it was big as life.
So, I finally bit the bullet, got Eddies other book, a membership on this site and dedicated myself to trying to incorperate this as a large portion of my no gi game!
Suffice it to say Ive been quite impressed. Theres alot more to this stuff than the people on sherdog and most jiu jitsu gyms would lead you to believe.
Im sure there's alot more to be impressed with, but as for that warmup set which is now becoming part of my daily life, all I can say is Mr. Bravo, good work!
