I guess I missed that one too, in which case I understand what you are saying much better now, and the reason for saying it.Quote:

I'm assuming your talking about the example brought up by Frank James about someone bashing 10th Planet since that is the only post I saw like that. I believe that circumstance is different in that scenario being more personal and has nothing to do with 10th Planet.
Jacob Whitfield (head instructor at Triangle JJ) is a legit brown under Royce and a very nice guy. He has been nothing by nice to me and my guys at any competitions. I have spoke with him on more than a few occasions and have had never had a problem.
Regardless, the name of the thread is Respect. Not ass kissing. I see your point and yes there is a different. Saturday at 10th Planet Charlotte we had Black Belt Fernando Salvador (under Mario Aiello) and Black Belt Jeremy Arel (under Gordo) train and teach. It couldn't have been a better experience for me and my guys. This only happened because of the relationships I built with others by showing respect to them.
I will never limit my personal training because I lack respect or have too big of an ego. There are too many different styles of jiu jitsu to do that. I thought that is what 10th Planet was about. Absorb the good shit. One way to see a lot of good shit is to train with as many people as you can...which flows right into the respect thing again. :)
Onobody would disagree w that....but I don't see giving it if u don't get it back....that's not respect at all. Belt level shouldn't be the only pre cursor to respect. Of course its personal, I agree. I train w a de le ribs brown belt n have a rickson brown belt as a regular student...that is what its all about. But u could be the best JJ guy on the planet.....if u are an asshole, ill pass. If u r the worst JJ guy on the planet, but wanna train n share ideas, I'm down. It's always personal for me....I gotta like being around the guys I train w, otherwise, what's the point?Quote:

So that's where I'm coming from.
Isnt this back from that whole brazilian arrogance blow up thread months back? If I remember that correctly, there seemed to be alot of trash talk on both sides, so I am guessing that was a case where neither guy liked the other anyway, so I agree, why even talk to one another?
Bingo....u read my mind :) off to teach...talk to u guys later.Quote:

There's a legit purple at our gym. He is the most arrogant ass ive met , but masks it with false humility. Never gives props and really thinks he's the shit. Smug as fuck if you get my drift, previously with no respect for 10p,but im forcing it down his throat. But he's good, and challenges the shit out of me when I roll him. So i respect his skill. So it makes it that much sweeter when mine surpasses his, which is inevitable because of his closed mind, due to his lack of respect for me.
One of the reasons I train so hard is to beat those who lack respect, humility, and dedication. Its one of the great beauties of our sport. Mats dont lie.
