5 tpjj black belts are doing the NoGi Worlds Nov. 5

Dam! With all these dumb ass rules. I think some other promoter should start a better run nogi Worlds! I would hate to have to spend all that money to just get DQed for something small. But it is the Worlds!

If you reap the knee it's a DQ, if you don't reap the knee you are ok.

Damn, I'm not sure you can single leg X guard without reaping the knee :(

I would advise against using it at all.. I think Eisner was dq'd for using it for sweeping..

Last year they disqualified many people for using it. I believe they even disqualified a few people at the black belt level.

Thanks for the heads up. Are you guys wearing the 10th planet shorts or did you order shorts elsewhere? I ordered a rashguard but assume our black board shorts with the ranked patch are okay.

brent how did u get a purple rashguard of 10th planet?

I'll be representing 10th planet at the brown belt division.
Registration complete.
We had 4 or 5 guys at the ADCC trials this year.
I learned a lot since then. At the World's we'll be the deepest ever for an event of this caliber!
