Hey guys,
I trained last wednesday night at the Tapout center with Eddie and his class.(which was AWESOME btw) I got my start in 10th Planet back in 2009. Unfortunately, i do not have a school near me anymore in NJ. I want to be ranked in the system since i have continued practicing on my own. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
Mike
Use the search at the top of the page. There are a couple of threads about how you can be ranked. If you can make it, the Allentown location is pretty close to you.
thanks man. yea Allentown is the closest, but still 1hr 30mins away. plus traffic :(
If you want it, you will find a way to make it happen. I have students that drive that every night.Quote:

Go to a moon as much as you can, stay positive, loyal, dedicated, diligent, and get the system down like that back of your hand and it will come to you. Worked for me:cool:
Hey Mike, I'm in NJ also. I live in Hamilton and work in Medford. I am a blue in BJJ and haven't trained in about 2 years. I am looking to get to my first 10 P class this week. There is a hotbox in Philly that I am going to go to also. If you can get to me, I don't mind driving. Not sure if that helps since Parisppany is still far but let me know....
yea man i know! we have to get something going in the future
Don't pursue rank. Pursue skills, knowledge, and experience.
If you want it, you will make it there. I have several students that drive over twice that. :)
Parsippany? I got an Uncle Louie from Parsippany
Get over to Allentown man! I'm from Hillsborough and I drive it whenever I can. You should make the video. The specs are posted somewhere on the forums. Like a 20 min uncut video of all the stuff you know from the system.Quote:

We threw exercise balls in there and they had a hell of a good time.
im flying out to melbourne in the weekend to get to train at a moon :D 3-4 hour flight there and ill going back the day after. i wish i only had an hour and a half to go to get to a moon,
I second going to Allentown. Zach, Jon, and I go waaaaaaaay back. You won't be disappointed!
thanks man. yea i'll definitely hit up allentown on a weekend from time to time. I have a 9-5 job and wouldnt be able to make regular time classes during the week. But i can definitely stop over on a saturday a couple times per month. Looking forward to seeing you there!
thank you everyone for helping me with this answer
I drive 8 hours on the reggie to train with Brian from 10th Planet Springfield.Quote:

Thanks a lot man. Yea ill be coming down to Allentown from time to time! Looking forward to training with these guys.
HQ visits take me about 1.5 hours to drive to... making an effort to ATLEAST make it 2x per week.
Say you dont have a gym thats within reasonable driving distance? Is there a way to still rank up in the system? I heard if you have comp vids of you in 10thp gear you have a chance of getting a belt from eddie online. I dont think thats truth but its worth asking
Ya man good talk today and its ok if your a little late. Traffic sucksQuote:
