Moon Of The Year - Poll Thread

Both Montreal and Springfield had a great year, I'm loving the debating tho, lots of good points :)

Another one of those polls that's hard to choose.

Same... Whats the story?

Touching the Ancient Stones at Stonehenge is Strictly Forbidden...

English Heritage have turned it into a Tourist Attraction you have to pay at Turnstiles to visit the area...
there's a small fence perimeter around the stones and an Electric Fence portion on one side...
you are supposed to stay behind this fence and look from a distance...
we desired a closer look...
the Security Guards were either alerted when we grabbed the Electric Fence or Jumped Over to Touch the Standing Stones...
they appeared from nowhere and accused us of Vandalism
(human touch apparantly erodes the stones that have stood for thousands of years)
and then attempted to evict us off the site...
we were prepared to leave but not prepared to recieve a scolding from a bearded Druid waving a Radio in our faces...
we argued/threatened him/took the piss...
until they sent in a nice Dinner Lady Security Woman to escort us out...

Did u get special alien powers after touching the sacred stone?

of course...

I knew it!!!

Montreal #1

The way the poll is set up now, it seems to just be out to prove who has the most students online. Which is cool and all, but we should change it to "got the most students to sign up for 10thplanetjj.com this year Moon." This is an noteworthy accomplishment just the same, But when I hear "MOON of THE YEAR" i think of tournament prescense, i think of the impact that this moon has on its town, its state, its region, and the globe. I remember a year or so ago eddie was talking about what it takes to take your gym to the next level, a few things i remember, 1 get your guys competeing and winning. 2 get some wrestling in your gym. 3 get weights and some strength training. 4 get as much info from the source's as you can.

1 Lets tally medals for the year, no doubt were in the top. 2 braught a world class wrestling coach into the mix. 3 we now have STATE OF THE ART gear to train with, if its makin diffrences in the top level players games, we have one, if not three. 4. weve mentioned before Glover, Caio Terra, Eddie Bravo, Sean Beezy, Gokor, and the list goes on and on. Im preaching to the choir at this point. When it comes it impacts made tho, not a tournament in the midwest goes on without 10thplanet Springfield showin up deep. We have asserted ourselves as the best equipped (tools and Coaches) gym in the midwest. As for our impact on the community, as far as i know were the only one who gave every seminar this year, for FREE. There was two seminars that required you to donate toys, that we then donated to children with cancer, im not positive, but what other gyms engage in things like that in their community.

We can see from your videos that you guys have a beautiful gym and a great female kickboxing instructor. Can we see some footage of your Jiu Jitsu Team in action?

Great job to Montreal and all the other moons who are setting the standard and leading the way. It really inspires me to push our team. So thanks guys. Just remember don't get lazy cuz Yuma's nipping at your heals. We had Eddie out for the first time and posted dozens of jj and pro mma wins this year. I'm very proud of what the other moons have done because we're all one family, but I'm ever more proud of our crew here. Let's set the bar even higher this year. WARRRR!!

Valid question Mr Ho. This Fall we brought a photographer/videographer into the mix. He takes amazing photos, and shoots some awsome vids. Unfortunatley untill august, the vids were my responsability. Now I like to think im a smart guy, but Im in no way a techie who can throw together footage fast. Im a carpenter by trade, my collar is blue. See i also compete, and as ive been taken it more and more serious, i have not been unable to put as much effort into videos. We have so many people competing at tournaments our senior members try to step in and coach matches, when there is more than one student rolling, as im sure other gyms have experienced. (NAGA and Grapplers quest is spread out over several mats.) I personally could care less about a camera if one of our guys needs my support. I have been extremely busy in my bussiness life this last year, also competeing myself. Which is why i have slacked off on jits vids so bad. We do have some footage, but its been on the back burner due to the flux of fights on our mma team. MMA promotional videos are a necessitie to get dudes fights, so they get priority. Since our shooter has only been here since august most of his energy has been on those. Dont worry tho im going to put some of our shiz up here later when I have more time. i will try to get that too yahll asap. I dont think it will effect the vote tho, that ends tommaro. But rest assured in the futre we will try and put up all kinds of videos. In the mean time im off to the gym, i will take a picture of our 2011 medals, belts and swords to help ease yahll minds.

Here's some footage of Springfield's Jr Beast Avery Stebbins. This kid is a killer!

Nice, but you should put up some vids of some your adults competing, as well.

I do apologize for not being more active on this thread this week I have been training with US Olympic boxing coach, Coach Porter and my stable of professional as well as amatuer mma fighters. I manage and coach these guys to provide a living for them and their families - that will always take priority in my schedule. If this is truly a contest of accomplishments and merit, let's compare apples to apples in any category and I feel confident in the outcome. If this is a contest of how many people "like" us then it's good to see that we have both become hotspots in our region. I think promoting Montreal against all competition will help them see some of the success that we are currently able to enjoy in our state of the art facility featuring world- class instructors... Either way, this is an interesting discussion going on between my students and the Montreal instructor. Keep it classy guys and may everyone enjoy 2012
