Not near a 10th Planet & I want to get rank in 10th Planet System.

To be honest, not having a rank is a pretty cool gig, the whole mental barrier of belts kind of dissolves and you can just focus on developing your game

Yeah, that's been kinda my thing, but for teaching purposes, an official rank would be beneficial. Of course, tournament wins are going to speak for themselves.

I would fly out somewhere for a week if somebody would house me.

If you can't make it out to a moon, you need to put in consistent time with SOMEONE somewhere, if you've been training for 8 years it shouldn't be difficult to acquire your blue belt at a local BJJ spot. If you're passionate about becoming a 10p representative in your area you will have to compete and show that your skills are worth passing on to your community. and everything Herzog said ;)
