    Is 10th Planet finally respected?

    I started repping 10th Planet in 06/07 and over the years I've noticed the response gyms would give when you told them you were a Nibiru Warrior. We've all shared our descrimination stories here and this has always been a place for us to vent. It finally seems however, especially after Metamoris, that we are respected. Is anyone else here starting to feel the love? We may be the cousin nobody likes but are we finally a part of the jiu jitsu family?

    Absolutely, not at all, and some are on the fence. It's the same it's always been. But I'd say the respect is definitely at the highests it's ever been. The denial is at it's highest. And those that are on the fence are a lot more open minded. 10th is having it's best year ever.

    For example, the last school I trained at was Brazilian top team. One of their recently promoted black belts only had positive things to say about 10th planet. He was saying how in the end, it's all jiu jitsu and it's only going to help make everyone better. And the head no gi instructor was very agreeable with that point. And I've never felt any sort of odd tension for showing up in my Team Empire shirts. Just a warm welcome, lets roll, let's help each other get better. So yeah man. I think at this point, most places give 10th planet its props. Some are skeptical and just need to see more guys crushing it (which each year that number keeps growing), and some guys are always going to be in denial because they follow BJJ cults.

    And yes, BJJ cult mentality is a real thing.

    true, it hasn`t changed for me neither. I haven`t seen a difference. I feel like if I get my rubberguard togeather without messing my knee up I can convince them. It is a bit harder when your a lighter weight though.

    Better than it used to be. People in denial for years are getting their beliefs majorly put in check this year with everything thats happened. Along with the forever die hard haters are the instructors filled with insecurity that try their best to keep it out of their gym. They'll be around forever, forcing new and old practitioners to sharpen their game the best they can so they dont have to hear crap

    I feel like some people are def more open minded to it now, when I first started jitsu in 2010-2011 alot of people were confused why I wanted to learn the Truck Lockdown and RG so much (granted part of it being how bad I was and fresh out of the water didn't help either). But since even before MEtamorsis as I started to hit the Truck and EC more often people started to open their eyes (I'm one of the few Ronins around where I train, not many others play it as much). After Metamorsis one of my instructors joked about how I was a fan of EC before the PPV ha ha.

    BUt yeah, I agree with the above there'll always be some haters, and that's part of what drives me at least sometimes.

    The more badass competitors 10p has, the more the world will recognize. Not to mention the sheer number of 10p schools world wide, its hard to argue 10p isn't a force.
