The dude seems to have a wrestling and judo background so I'm sure he's more than competent on the ground.
Just checked with Eddie, and I'm waiting to her back from Alder now. Eddie said Alder was working with another group in South Africa, just waiting for verifcation of the names.
There's a difference between teaching jj at your school and blending in skme tenth planet stuff, but that website makes it appear like it is a tenth planet school. If they said we teach varying styles of jj including techniques from the tenth planet system
Etc etc. They definately shouldn't be displaying the tenth planer logo in their main page.
I hope there ends up being a legit 10th Planet school there. That would be BA!
My concern is that this guy is going the full 9 yards with 10th Planet advertisements on Facebook, Websites, t-shirts, newspapers, at local tournaments etc. They are known as 10th planet here in SA......surely this i misleading the public if the guy is not affiliated or listed on the 10th planet website as an official rep etc? And then taking into consideration what he did to the Cross Fit guys....all does not seem well.
I touched base with Alder, He said Darryl Faught and Delon are legit. He is working with them to legitimately earn rank and become an official affiliate.
Case Closed.
Awesome
Chris thank you for the info. I am glad especially as a fellow South African!
Does this give them the authority to actually promote and advocate that they are official 10th planet gyms/representatives? Shouldn't this only be allowed once they have official rank or when affiliation is processed?
