Thanks, I just wanted to be able to show people who claim 10th Planet is not good for MMA.

10p is on a quest to provide it's soldiers with every legit no-gi technique possible, especially MMA jiu jitsu techniques. If we are not teaching a certain legit no-gi technique it's only because we haven't gotten to it yet, it has nothing to do with close mindedness. Most traditional bjj schools are not on the same quest. Some are, but for sure many are not. If a bjj school is not teaching the lockdown half, the rubber guard and twisters then they are not providing their students with all the legit no-gi techniques they can find.

As far as tournaments go, Gracie Nationals and Gracie Worlds are the two most prestigious submission only tournaments in the world. 10p swarmed both of them and we are the current team champions of both of them. 10p also dominates SUB LEAGUE, a submission only event in the Pacific Northwest. Also 10th Planet San Francisco's Adam Sachnoff just won the ADCC trials finals match with rubber guard, now what? :)

I agree. Your insite into audio/video stuff is impressive. I've been watching Marcelo in Action, you do great work.

One of the major differences in Gi and no-gi schools is, in gi schools, they have a notion of 'seasons.' Gi season is usually around the first half of the year, and no-gi season is the latter half of the year. These seasons coincide with the major tournaments going on during that time- mundials in the first half, no-gi worlds, no-gi xxx competition, in the latter.

There's only one season for no-gi jiu jitsu- it's called duck hunting season, and it's year round.

Another thing, it used to be the case that you'd only have 10P techniques at 10P and No-Gi schools, but I've seen a change as of late. Many of the big gi branded schools have students pulling RG and lockdown.

Train what you love, and the rest will take care of itself.

10th planet is supposed to be open minded, I'm actually surprised to see so many fuck the gi comments. One should learn all they can with and without the gi.

First off, it is a grappling sport, like wrestling, sambo and judo, you should take what you can from it. There is no GI is better than NO GI. thats like saying my kung fu is better than your karate.

Here is some Gi propaganda to piss off the nogi zealots.
