Was never my intention that Eddie or any blackbelt hand out what is not warranted. I hope for tpjj, that these guys that are striving for higher ranking so that they can promote their students just as Eddie does, that all these guys start burning up the tournament scene or saving their pennies to make the trip to LA. because otherwise, they best get used to the idea of staying where they are..... or am I off the mark with that statement too!

This is what we've been saying and you've been disagreeing with.

The main thing is that you can not regard Scott's comment as disrespectful as it is not. You may disregard my comment as I am only a blue belt. I'm proud to be a blue belt in the system, but I'm no black belt. Eddie Bravo and Scott Epstein however are. Their comments were in no way meant to be disrespectful. In fact, Scott's first comment is completely warranted and completely right. You may not care about belts but a lot of people do.

The disrespect started when you decided to slate Eddie's process on grading. Why are you right and he is wrong? Are you a 2nd Degree BJJ black belt? I think that in slamming his ability to correctly award belts is the highest of disrespect and you should be saying that last sentence to Eddie and Scott.

It doesn't matter if I forgive you or not, who am I, anyway?

I didnt slate Eddie for anything, i raised a concern as to some peoples financial ability to make the what he is requiring. if one cant save up the money for whatever reason to make the trip to La, is it not perceivable that they cant enter every tournament that comes around at 50 to 100 dollars a pop? All I am saying is that when you put undue financial burdens on people with the hopes of prospering, then expect everyone not to live up to your expectations, and that would be an awful reason for someone to be held back. It was my opinion based off of some very real conversations with people. And has I have been in contact with Scott and he has assured me that he meant no disrespect, then I'm good with that, but like I told him, in watching a video about his bb award, Eddie stated that his hold up be able to pull lotus, and when he did it, he got his black. That is a lot different than saying that because you a poor or that your money is fucked up at the moment, sorry, your shit out of luck. With scott his challenge was a physical deficiency that Eddie knew he could overcome, thats a little different then asking someone to change their financial situation or too bad. And my point to you about doing all I can do was in that same line. due to things out of control in my personal life, I have had to set some things off till such time that I can afford them. That doesnt mean that i dont still want to and have the desire to do them, I just cant, and unless the tpjj gods are handing out grants so that I may continue my training, those things are going to have to get done when I can. But I'm not an affiliate that has been paying my dues to Eddie to represent him, so mine is a little less important if you know what I mean.

As for apologies, I ve stated over and over that it was never my intentions to disrespect anyone but you as I admitted only to make you understand my frustration as being discounted. And I have explained myself to you for that and assure you that was all that was ans was not meant on a serious note. You have put in your time and your opinion does mean something...

All the best to you and I wish you well in clearing your debt and travelling to HQ

Again promotions are not based on hear say and word of mouth... If you cant afford to get in front of your Instructor or PAY YOUR DUES then you don't get promoted! CRY ABOUT IT!

just so you know and everyone knows, that tpjj means alot to me, so much so that I offered to split the cost of a seminar with kevin to get him back out here to the east coast, not for me but for Kevin. Because I believe in his abilities that much

This thread is stupid. Go watch the fights....

JASON EISNER!

maybe just forums.

My vote is for John Roderick to get his brown. What about Ari? Is he a brown yet???

Sorry for all involved this thread got out of control in the end I was just trying to give props to Kevin Green and provide a platform for other people to give props to purple belts they thought were the shit didnt think it was a big deal we had another thread about the next 10thPlanet Black Belts and it didnt go anywhere near the way this one went with all the drama

Maybe it should of been...Who do you think will be the next 10th Planet Brown Belts? Instead of who SHOULD be one haha

If you are truly confident in your advanced whitebeltedness, statements such as these shouldn't bother you and kinda make sense.

My head hurts, and more than usual.

I need "a" heroin.

Riverside gotz a few....... :)

My mom!

TTT for Jeremy's mom

this thread turned out to be pretty funny

Everyone wants to come on here and be little trolls and make their wise ass, ass kissing statements, but if you go back through to the beginning, everyone was all name dropping till einstein made his wise ass statement, and then all the little butt puckerers started with all the negative comments. I was adult enough to realize that this was an innocent enough thread and was only meant to give props by underbelts to some very well deserving guys. It wasnt a meant to be taking so goddamn seriously, but insults were made and disrespect shown by a bunch of assholes with nothing better to do then wait for an opportunity to kiss some bb ass. What makes it even worse is that Scott and Eddie should have seen it for what it was and took it as that, instead of blowing it way out of proportion followed by all the clowns who chimed in. Grow up people and quit being like kids in the fifth grade trying to attention anyway you can.

Did you dub yourself 'the man'?

I got my brown after competing a bunch, and going up to HQ like Eddie said. Every trip was well worth it .. I learn so much from each trip, it's always great chillin' and rollin' with the family. "It's the journey not the destination" :)

nelson what part did you miss ? or you didnt read anything on this thread?

I say kevin is way over due, and neale is a professor of submission knowledge that has certainly paid his dues. Definately got some east coast talent that seems to be getting lost in the day to day that is 10th planet ops. Kevin, keep in mind that Im down for chippin in to get eddie back out here in the coming months for another seminar. Me you and neale could all go in and make it happen.

And for the record this is where it crossed the line. I am pretty sure Eddie does not need your help promoting.

Good stuff...

So you ask me to "forgive you" as if I'm your girlfriend, and then call me a clown?

Are you serious?

no it was a joke between me and a friend that happened when I was trying to set up an email account at a school I used to teach at. frank james is a common name and I didnt want to be frankjames 333999 whatever, he was standing there and said let me try one, and thats what he punched in, and it worked. So its just stuck through the years, and is meant more comical the serious. And thanks for proving the point that there is way too much read into something that clearly is lighthearted, but thanks for bringing it up, so everyone will know that I dont think I'm that cocky and hung up on myself.

What hole am I digging, really? if the mods want to ban me for complimenting and bragging on to of the instructors that I have had the pleasure of meeting, and think are excellent examples of tpjj, then so be it. I've communicated with Einstein and the matter has been discussed and we're straight, and my comments earlier stated so, if Eddie wishes to repremand me, he has my email. I think that its pretty evident that my concerns are for the continued growth of tpjj. If anyone doubts that they certainly have not read everything through. I"m sorry if I seem out of line to some, but I think all of us should be concerned with helping the system grow.

Calling people on this thread names dude, that is how you're digging yourself deeper. Calling people clowns and assholes etc...It was one thing to just act stupid but then you start name calling.

And way to back pedal.
