Most good instructors encourage there students to "explore". I tell my students all the time to test themselves else where. It would seem to me that its not they want you to "take" they are worried about what you might gain!

That's not 10th Planet hate, that's just a bad instructor. I primarily trained with a Jeet Kune Do school and they loved me bringing in 10th Planet techniques. I'd catch them with something and the instructor would spend the next few days trying to come up with a counter. Good instructors welcome anything that can improve their class. Sounds like this place is insecure. Paragon would be the way to go. The deep half and the Homer Simpson sweep... should be a no brainer.
they hate us cuz they anus
I had a coach quit talking to me because I was cross training at a 10p moon. (I thought it was something else but, nah) I haven't been invited back to that gym. kinda sucks too because I liked him and he was very helpful. but it was like, train somewhere else and your out. no more time spent on you. I don't need to feel like that. I'm a grown-ass man. nobody owns me except my wife and kids. lol. so, I go to 10p as often as I can (its 2.5hrs away) and I'm saving up for mats so I can do some ronin stuff near home. I aked my moon head how he felt about me cross training occasionally and he said "cross training is awesome. you should do it any chance you get. you cant learn everything in one place." just one more reason I love the 10p community.
Without going into a lot of detail I had someone I believe intentionally injure me for wearing 10th planet gear. I went to a couple seminars and started really studying the system, had a larger very traditional blackbelt ((I was a I think 1 stripe blue belt at the time?)) grab a toe hold when he was frustrated, I let out a yelp as something kinda crunched and he kept going until that lovely chicken bones tearing apart sound. Can't remember the other ligament but had a tear on my ATFL and something else. Of course can't prove that's why it happened, could have been an accident, but man, it was pretty questionable. Ankle's never been right since. Made it a point to get a couple other 10P rashguards while rehabbing my ankle. Because, well, fuck that guy.
It's weird how people think they can tell grown individuals how to be. I've had a similar experience. Just because I'm relatively new to Jiu Jitsu doesn't mean I don't have any past experience with martial art, and even if that was the case, there are other ways to relate information than "we won't speak to you now because you're interested in developing yourself in a fashion that's interesting to you. You have to do it exactly like us". Bunch of bull. Yup. One is better off surrounding themselves with people who support them, no matter where they're at.Quote:

Good training is good training regardless of the politics that people try to inject into the lifestyle.Quote:
