Great story, Jon!
Last month Carlos Eduardo Rocha began teaching his style of Jiu Jitsu (Dárcio Lira) at 10th Planet Hamburg. Being the ufc fighter and bjj black belt helps us a lot, too. And he even wants to train at 10th Planet hq. :)

This was our first major tournament in 2009. It is a bit old now but still cool.
Ahhh surprised I got that far mate.
Again, the right and essential attitude of a successful 10th Planet moon. Jon is a mere blue belt but that's not gonna stop him from going to war on the competition circuit, not all moons will survive, but I'm 100% sure 10th Planet Charlotte will survive and thrive :)
We are 60 plus deep in DE. Sweeping tournaments n winning MMA events at the Pro and Ammy level. I personally train weekly with Marcelo and his guys.3 hr ride each way but well worth it. Just put a competing jj school out of business run by a black belt...just brought another brown belt in as an assistant instructor who is also a judo black belt.
I realize that I'm a little late in this thread but I've trained at a few supposedly good schools in Montreal but Louis' instruction blows them all away. He may be a purple for the moment but I'll choose him 10 times out of 10 for my grappling instruction over any black belt in the area.
In the two years that I've been training at his school he's only missed a few days of class. Through good times and bad he's always there filling up the place with positive energy. He trains with us hard and keeps an open mind. He's always up for hearing about crazy theories for variants of this move or that one. He'll roll with the students nightly despite his bangs and bruises and he continues to compete and win! I can't say that of any other instructor in the area.
I don't always have time to train but Louis is always full of words of encouragement, keeping in contact and wishing me well. Never before have I heard of an instructor going to that level. He truly cares about his students and we're all part of his family.
This is the kind of attitude that every jiu jitsu practitioner should strive to have.
Louis, you taught me so much and I'm proud to have you as my coach.
Thank you, Shawn. And everyone else for those kind words. :)
