What is the feeling of someone wearing 10p clothing during a tournament if they don't train at a 10p school? My son and I watch mts and train a lot of 10p techniques, but there isn't a school near us to train at. We love the system and want to represent, but we don't want to do it if that is frowned upon.
I see the blue name, which means you’re a Pro member (and studying the same way as allot of other folks). You don’t need special permission to rep 10th Planet as a “Ronan” (practitioner without a school).
Don’t worry, its looked at positively not negatively, thanks for your interest and support :)
Welcome to the club brother. You and your son are like my daughter and I (RONIN). I think the best way to represent 10th isn't necessary in the clothing, but in the love of the system and when you use the system in your training and competition. Anyone can buy a t shirt that says 10thplanet, but its better to throw someone in your rubber guard, then people will know you are truly repping 10th..IMOQuote:

We have been following Your posts about Cora for awhile. She is awesome!
I love seeing their age coming up 10 planet strong!
It's good...as long as your winning. :p
THanks buddy. It always make me happy to hear success story such as you and your son. It just goes to prove that the system works for everyone, even those that don't have the luxury of being close to a 10thplanet gym. If ronin like us can make it work, then the system is truly strong. Keep up the work and looking forward to seeing your vids.Quote:

You don't want to be 'that guy' that trains 100% of the time at a non 10p school (checkmat, gracie barra etc) but reps 10p t-shirts every day in class and at the comps (even gi comps), giving no recognition to your regular team ever. That is when dudes end up with their whole team against them making things awkward. :)Quote:

Has anyone submitted a video yet?
Great advice! Wear both if you can: your school and 10th planet. If you dont have a school then Rock it as a ronin!Quote:

I rep 10th planet every class practice, and people have approached me at tourneys who are also fans.
yep, same here, and I've never had anyone give me a hard time for rocking 10P. Been lucky so far that there have been a lack of haters, I 'spose.Quote:

Oh...I'm kinda that guy lol I occasionally show up in a Corona Kings shirt or a 10P San Francisco T...but I rep my Gracie Barra gear too. I claim duel citizenship lol
I usually just clarify with the instructor ahead of time I'm a Ronin and this is what I'm trying to master, are they ok with me training at the school and usually I've been fine. No real haters yet...Quote:

my camp loves 10p and would love to be a moon at some point. We practice a lot of the 10p techniques and have started doing the 10p warm ups
From the intel that I've gathered.. if you are a Ronin its all good.
For me I train 6 days a week with Akxe BJJ and only make it down to HQ 1-2 days out of the month.
To show respect to both my GI instructor (as well as Eddie) I only rock the Akxe name/gear when I compete.
To me I would be disrespecting both sides, if I acted otherwise.
