Eddie it's going to be off the chain for sure! Marc and I can't wait to scoop you up at the airport. Jon I would love for you to be in attendance. I'd be happy to reduce the fee for you since you are an instructor at a 10P school. Hit me on Facebook for details. Also if you have any people who want to attend the seminar along with you I can work something out for them too.

Update on the seminar October 6th.

The available spots are filling up FAST! If you are interested in attending please pre-pay and reserve your spot now. With the interest generated in this seminar and the amount of people already signing up I may need to cut off registration before the seminar date. Just an FYI.

Thanks,
George.

before I sign up and drive the 4 hours to get there, can a guy who has only done limited no gi bjj and has never been trained on any 10th planet system benefit? Please don't mistake my intent here, I am wondering who this seminar is designed for. I don't want to be the old fat guy who slows the class down for everyone else because everything has to be explained to me. The only rubberguard stuff I know I have seen on you tube and this website and I am trying to stick to the very basics - mission control kung fu move zombie etc.

It was definitely awesome! Thanks to everyone who came out. Hope you all enjoyed it. Also a big thanks to Eddie for coming all the way out to VA! I am going to try and get a some pics to put up here once the photographer gets them all online.

Thanks,
George.

It was fun. Definitely learned a bit. However, a piece of constructive criticism: It would of been nice to do less talking and demo and more drilling. 3 hours to do that sequence was little slow paced. I understand Eddie was taking the time to ensure everyone understood the technique, however, if we only have 3 hours of instruction I much preferred a faster pace instruction that we could drill on our own time.

Never having been to one of his seminars, I didn't know what to expect. I took everything at face value and believed that my 4 hr drive (one way) and hotel expenses would be worth it.

From someone who has a lot of experience doing training at a state academy, especially training adult learners, I liked the style of training the technique backwards very much. I liked the breakdown of the drills, a chunk at time (chunking is a very valid teaching practice for all motor skills). I thought a lot of the talking points were valid, although he did get a little off topic at times (I didn't know if the MTS videos were indicative of all classes or just something done for the internet). I would have liked to have drilled the techniques a little more, but I can do that at the local gym. I appreciate the fact that he will be posting this new technique on a MTS on this site soon, this way I have a refresher. All in all, money well spent. I thought his sticking around unil the last minute and letting just about everyone and his brother get a picture with him was very nice and definetly not required. It would have been nice if he had a couple of helpers to check students techniqes.

I would also like to thank a couple of the 10p practitioners that were at the seminar for showing me a couple of things after the seminar. I don't have anyone to roll with that knows these techniques, and am learning everything from the internet. I'd also like to thank the guy I was drilling with, because I apparently had the lockdown and mini stomp all screwedup. (new to 10p system)

On a side note, is it possible for the tech gurus on this site to have an enhanced or closeup view of some of the techniques while the video is rolling? Kind of like a picture in picture. THis will sound weird, but when I try to mentally map a technique as I am watching it, I have a hard time seeing the exact hand/foot/ankle placement and have to stop the video and go back. A little window in window would be cool. Just like at the gym when you move around to make sure you can see the whole move being demonstrated from another perspective/better angle. Maybe it is just me.

Too long winded?
