True, I always wanted to make sure I have the basics down, than from there go to complicated stuff. I knew there were some little wholes in my game that need to be tweaked and with the vids on mts on how to do these war ups correctly is awesome. Also I think one of the criticism that people are giving 10 p for is for not focusing on the basics first, now no one can say that! It's not all about learning the twister and rubber guard and these warm ups are proving that even more.
And they wouldn't know what they are talking about. We were heavy on basics and fundamentals long before the warm ups even came out. The 10th Planet signature techniques are just the ones that where being shown to the general public the most as its what set us apart, however that doesn't fundamentals were not stressed. That being said the warm ups ensure most of those basis are being covered system wide.Quote:

The warm-ups are an awesome creation. I like them because they cover all aspects of the game.
The warmups have definitely helped me. I've only been training for one month (2-4x weekly). Obviously I'm not super fluid in my movements yet, but sometimes I'll hit a position and that muscle memory of a warmup kicks in. From there, I am able to rapidly transition through the warmup movements FAR more fluidly than I am able to perform other movements.
I also get caught in subs or crappy positions and recognize that my opponent just blew through all the steps of a warmup super fast to get me there.
I'm here to testify also. Before going to HQ this past Feb, we were "sort of" following the warm ups. We only have 30-45 minutes each day before Cora go to the gym. We were training without any true direction or system. But after coming back from HQ and seeing how Master Eddie is stressing the warm ups to EVERYONE, we had to just make time for it. So now all we do is the first 15 minutes is hitting the warm ups. Then the rest of the time doing a particular technique and its defense. Well its been 2 weeks now since we got back and yesterday I saw it came out during Cora's rolling. She went in for black mamba and end up in reverse DLR, she use the kiss of the dragon to sweep and went in straight for the berimbolo. I'm shocked at how fast she was spinning to get into the berimbolo. Unfortunately the boy was fast also and got back up. Ok she caught him again with the black mamba and once again got the reverse DLR, the boy caught on to the kiss of the dragon and pulled his leg way back so she can't catch it, but she changed it up to the spiral and spin under him and brought him down that way and end up jumping on his back for back control. Needless to say her mom and I and the rest of the parents were shocked. A parent asked me "what was all that?" I said, "oh its the warm ups"...LOL This warm ups is going to take her game to another whole new level. Thank you Master Eddie
We have 30 min open mat after class I work on lots of things I see on this site. I just grab a partner and say you want to get some extra work and drill some stuff.
Awesome, that's great to know. Now I can tell people for sure that 10p definately train the basics. I've herd it from a gracie in an interview and other BJJ huys on youtube. I think someone even mentioned it on eddies podcast, about how the basics are important before learning the rubber guard and ect. I think it was havey mendez but Im not sure, I think its from the 1st podcast with rose gracie and havey. But I could be total wrong and just got confused with someone else.Quote:
