Hey guys I'm going to be assisting Eddie on keeping a running list of the official 10th Planet Hotboxes and making sure they are currently up to date on the requirements.
So what I'll need from each hot boxes is to fill out the following checklist for each location, once this is completed and approved I will add you to the official 10th Planet Hotbox locations list, we will keep current here on the forum.
A note about the criteria:
The criteria are set in place for a 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.
DO NOT promote your hotbox until your application has been reviewed and approved.
Here are the rules from Eddie:
"I've been getting alot of requests and questions about 10th Planet hotboxes so with the help of Brandon Woolsey I put together rules and regulations for running a hotbox, here they go.......
1. All hotboxes must be approved by me
2. The leader of the hotbox must be an active pro member of this site.
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 with his sponsored instructor at least once per calender 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 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!

Thank you very much for the dedication to the system! " -Eddie Bravo
