Respect

Let 'em have it Aretha!

ttt for Compella and big ole ttt's for Aretha!

I had problems in the beginning, a lil. Condescending remarks, pothead, renaming, nothing but stalling, you've never had a legitimate instructor (they underestimated this website and my passion for 10p but oh well). I also was trying to prove something at the time the wrong way, newbs-pshh.

Now its a whole different story. There is a tremendous amount of mutual respect. And when a name dropping ego maniac walks in expecting to run through our gym, Jimmy pulls me aside and tells me who he wants me to roll first. Cause as great as other forms are, our tap frequency is generally way higher and pure technique that you can feel happening. Im kind of the ego check in there because of 10 p. This is all due to the right humble genuine approach. All of us, no matter what system who train hard and live to train are way more alike than different.

You very rarely are going change the mind of a man who has already made up his mind. The problem is that some people paint VERY BROAD strokes when it comes to 10th Planet. That is the problem when you pigeon hole a group. We are not all clones of Eddie, nor would he want that. It is the diversity of the gene pool that makes one strong.

In the end, its your journey, not any one else's. What does it matter?

Respect is a Two way street...give it and ill give it back. Act like an asshole, and I got nothing for ya...

Doesn't hurt to be the first one to give it.

True, but it never hurts to be the "ice breaker" and offer a hand first.
