I agree that 10th planet needs a school in San Jose. A good number of high level players have schools here and the SJSU Judo program is world renowned. I am totally supportive of having San Jose be a hub for for JJ of all kinds.
1st thing I guess, someone who can teach needs to step up and commit, then a location has to be found, etc. I am no expert on the subject but I assume it also takes a good bit of $ to start up. In this economic climate, it seems there are few willing to take that risk. I was surprised when I didnt see a hotbox in the SJ area even.
Until then I'll read the books, watch the vids, try stuff in no gi class and try to hit up 10th planet SF and HQ when the wife & I make our yearly trip to the LA area in April.
Denny is very good from what I have read on Yelp. I am in San Jose so driving an hour to San Fran is a long commute.Quote:

Personally I would focus less on trying to figure out a school in SJ than I would about figuring out how to get to S.F. every week. It really isn't that far to get there from sj.
If you want 10th Planet in the bay area go to Denny.
Problem solved
Worth the BART ride for sure. When we were out for worlds that's all we used. If I lived out there I would spit my time between Caio's and Denny's gym. Denny is an amazing instructor and Caio is as well.Quote:

Especially if you work a schedule that puts you on the road to SF between 4pm & 7 pm M-F because it can take 60-90 minutes just in traffic. BART is about the same when you consider that it takes about 45 minutes to get to the closest BART station (in Fremont on 880 traffic)and another 45 minutes to get to SF on the actual train. I can get to pretty much any area of SJ in about 20 minutes tops.
I don't argue at all about the quality but when you are forced to live by a tight schedule, with family to consider, closer is better.
