Mate...not if they don't know what they are doing! Especially if you are paying for proper instruction.Quote:

There are many 10th Planet friendly schools that aren't hot boxes or moons but embrace the 10th Planet style. It doesn't look like an official school at this point and its not listed on the Locations page of this site. Herzog would know if this school is working towards being a Hotbox.
Herzog would know, he's the president of 10p Hotboxes :)
Looks like the guy has been to 10th planet Birmingham. He has one of their shirts on. :-)
Its ok, its not an affiliate. False alarm
Fuck ;(Quote:

You are correct mick. I met them both at said seminar.Quote:

They say they are connected to 10th planet la
4 mentions of 10th planet on the facilitys page
3 mentions on 10h planet on the instructors page
every picture bar 1 has a 10th planet logo on it
and every page on this site is advertising 10th planet techniques on the top left hand of the page
some ones trying to come off as a 10th planet school i feel
One thing that stood out to me is the pictures of people in mission control all seem to be doing it wrong. They are square on, not really hugging the knee tight therefore leaving lots of space etc.
When all is said an done he is clearly a fan on the system so hard to hate on the guy, however for a non affiliate/hotbox I think his sites advertising kinda steps over the line. Dude should just start his hotbox or affiliate program with 10p and do it all official. :-)
Guys,my name is Steven Thompson and I have been doing Jiu Jitsu for over 10 years now .I gained my Blue Belt from Royce over 8 years ago at one of the few No Gi seminars that he ever did .I have trained at or with just about everyone it feels like in Scotland over the years .I am based in Carluke Scotland.I am opening a club that will concentrate on 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu techniques .I have been in touch with Eddie and am working on my accreditation for him just now .The club is new and will start in just over a week .As soon as we are up and running and sorted and if there is a demand for a 10th Planet in Scotland then I will apply to Eddie to be an official affiliate . As there is nothing in Scotland for us like minded people I got sick of waiting and am doing it myself .The venue is great ,I am insured ,I am well known and have been concentrating on the 10th Planet system for 4 years now and not learninig or drilling anything else ,but I have been training for over 10 years .If I had a club already then it would not take as long to get things going ,once things are up and running and if Eddie thinks I am up to it then I will push ahead .I will be at the seminar in Birmingham with my son also John and his two boys will be there ,I am sure that the guys at the seminar and Eddie will be able to scope me out on the night of the seminar .If anyone would like anymore infromation then please let me know I am happy to share .
My name is Steven Thompson ,I have been training in Jiu Jitsu for over ten years now.I gained my blue belt from Royce 8 years ago at his No Gi seminar in Glasgow run by Scott McVeigh of the Royce Gracie club up here .I have trained with and been at many clubs over the years and am well known . I have been training and drilling and doing nothing but 10th Planet System for 4 years now .As there are no 10th Planet clubs in Scotland I decided to start one ,I have been in touch with Eddie and am working on getting accreditation just now .This is a new club that I am starting and it will open on the 3rd of January in Carluke . We only do 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu ,we are not an established club that are adding this on .It will take me a bit to get accredited if I am good enough and if the demand is there ,then we will become ,with Eddies approval ,an affiliate . If I am deemed not good enough and if there is no demand then this will fail .I do not believe so but time will tell.Please feel free to ask any other questions or even if you would like to know where I have trained and who I have trained with over the years etc .Like all of us here we love the system and it makes sense and works .I am an honest person and am trying to advertise the club to generate interest .If there is not enough then as I said it will fail.It is hard to advertise without mentioning 10th Planet etc ,after all that is what we will be doing .I will see some of you at the Birmingham seminar ,I will be there with my son Xander ,also my training partner John and his two boys .You will be able to scope me out there ,feel free to ask around other clubs etc up here about me though .If you want a list of the ones I know and/or have trained with then please let me know.All the best Steven Thompson.
You must mean you are opening on the 3rd of February, no?
Yes,we are opening on Sunday the 3rd of February 2013 in Carluke ,Scotland. The first ever class will be on this date.
That punctuation played hell on my brain.
lol.

Good luck with the new place though dude. :-)
Hi Sam,
Thanks for that .I have already sent eddie over the details for the website .I have just emailed Chris today to start a dialogue with him to help get thinhs moving.
Hi Steven....no need to check who you train with..I assume your with Scott McVeigh as you are a Royce Blue belt..and Scott is a legit Black Belt! Good luck with it....you should have posted on here first mate as this is the first place I would imagine people interested in learning 10th plantet jj would look...it would have saved the confusion..lol! Anyway...good luck with it!
Hi Johnnie,I started with Dennis Mulholland and then Scott McVeigh.Trained with the now Gracie Barra in Glasgow ,tried some MMA.Went to Milton and trained there in the grubbiest gym ever ,trained with Paul McVeigh ,Doug McMaster,Fitz,Mainsy etc was at the original Griphouse ,trained at the new Griphouse as it is today .Went to Gary Christies class in the Caledonian Uni,trained at Lanark MMA (James Doolan) or as it is known now as Higher Level .Held informal classes at various locations for people who liked to train in stuff a bit out of the ordinary and now am starting on my own as I have been holding small classes locally and the time is right to see if there is a bigger demand up here or not .There will be instruction and then rolling and I hope that it will be well received. Feel free to pop along and check it out,first class is free.
Steven welcome and thank you for repping the system and being a 10th Planet friendly gym! Just know there is a process using the 10th Planet name and you are putting the cart before the horse. Contacting Eddie and getting his permisson to use the name prior to building a website would have been the best course of action. You have to understand there have been alot of fakes and charlatan's trying to profit from using the systems name, so we take use of the name seriously. Our affiliates and hotboxes bust their ass to use the 10th Planet name and it takes continued work to maintain that status as well. If you have interest in working towards affiliation Eddie will send you the info you need to do so, if you have interest in becoming a hotbox I can assist you. Rep hard!
Chris, Thank you for the reply .I have already emailed Eddie and he gave me some details .I also sent him the link for the website and asked him to tell me if there is anything that he wants me to change or remove .If you could email me details on Hotbox as I do not have anything on that just the affiliate stuff from Eddie.Once again if there is anything that you guys want me to change or remove completely then please email me as I do not want to offend . I have outlined my plans and timeline in the email to Eddie but I can resend this to you if you like ,just let me know what email to send it to. All guidance and critique welcome.
Sure you can contact me at coachherzog@gmail.com
I did get your e-mail at my gym e-mail, however I had all ready posted ;)
Steven, there is also this thread as a reference:
