i signed up at a bjj school today as well as still going to tenth planet the 10th planet gym i go to know is too far so i dont go often so i signed up at this traditional school thats not even 5 minutes away so we were rolling and i went to mission control and went the normal path hand to the mat new york and so on and the head instructor actually was fasinated he actually spent 20 minutes asking me questions and had me show him some moves it was actually a great feeling
cool bro, I remember when I first started grappling at this club that opened at my school people were like "WTF kind of moves are those." I had to teach them a few things, but they aren't even close to being flexible enough.
yeah i thought it was great the head instructor was so open to it...i kinda liked the reaction the like right hand man to the head instructor gave me he asked were i trained b4 and i told him tenth planet and he gave me the dirtiest look i have ever seen but he was the only one every1 else was into it im looking forward to my next class
Yeah, I hear so much about people giving 10th planet students dirty looks when they go to other schools. I don't understand it honestly. But it's exciting for me to show people techniques they don't know about and I always get good praise. Except this one guy I used to roll with who was legit as hell, He always tried to coach me and I'd be pulling guard and the guy would freak out on me just for pulling guard, I had to keep assuring him that is where 70% of my offense is haha.
yeah what i found out is that they had one guy way back when who was hip to eddies system and would use it on every1 but would never explain his moves the instructor said he used to love rolling with him because it was something knew i was intimadated going in there because my go to was always the rubber guard i loved the pyramid position especially after learning the puppet master and so on i went in there got collar choked like nothing so i said forget it went to the rubber guard and thought id dust off the original hand to the mat ect and the instructor stopped us and started asking all these questions i thought i was gonna get a lecture on oh the rubber guard is bad for your knee blah blah blah but no it was just great idk why im so excited lol
One of the first times I have heard a trad bjj school liking tp.
yeah the head instructor liked the system then he started dissing eddie and i just changed the subject i didnt wanna get into an argument since i had just had a great time
Thats another thing I don't get is how someone can approve of the 10th planet system but not think Eddie is cool shit.
ive personally never met eddie i would love to but since ive never met him i cant judge but from what ive seen and gotten from his books and dvds and interviews i think hes awesome and cant wait till i one day get a chance to head down to hq or he maybe comes down to the phoenix location
Cool story :)
Way cool .. is this A.C. ??
nah i went there a while back you probably dont remember me but ill be back real soon and let you know its me my 1st name is luis its just most ppl call me by my last name old football habit
Are we using the puppet master, and if so, is the wolverine the inventor? I watched some of his videos (ride the lightning!) and have used it. Great takedown bringing your opponent right into electric chair, and a good place to be if you have game from there. I remember 1 guy critiqueing all the flaws in his video and not realizing the straight goods he had stumbled upon.
im not sure what the names of the videos are but yeah its from wolverine i find myself in the pyramid alot so rubik cube isnt to hard to get to
It's about the angles. Watch Einstein teach in the 10th Planet All Stars DVD about it.Quote:

Its about positioning and angles like Matthias said, theres more to Rubber Guard then flexibility(obviously it helps immensely). Understanding positioning and hip placement will allow the large majority to be able to flow through the RG basic path. Rubber Guard can be dangerous....to those that lack the understanding of simple body mechanics and movement.Quote:

If only that mindset was as contagious as stupid
yeah idk if its just a reaction or something but i rolled with 5 ppl and two of them went straight to the no hand pass one of them def learned some stuff about the lockdown and went to the buttock compressor and another guy was close to tapping
I went to a local gym that I taught at briefly last summer and this was when I first started dabbling in the 10pjj system, they were at the time using a local machado affiliate instructor and weren't ready for the 10 planet stuff, so I left after a few weeks of criticism. I stopped in there a couple of weeks ago and saw some of the students pulling rg and transitioning through basics, I didnt say anything, but when I went into the head instructors office to bullshit, right there on his desk was mtrg. I jokingly asked what he thought and he replied good stuff, and then he remembered that was what I was doing last year when I was there and laughed. he invited me back to be a guest anytime and show them some more, and I told him that he was also welcomed to come see me and show me his stuff. great exchange between two guys that at one time didn't see eye to eye
I think good coaches are the most important thing. My coach is open to new things as long as you also put in time with the basics. I think people focus so much on Eddie's more unique techniques they don't listen when he says "posture, posture,posture". They only hear what they want to.
