I recently joined a gym run by a couple Marcelo brown belts. I've been nogi since I started (1 year) but these guys train half in the gi and half no gi. I read that there's a gi branch of 10PJJ called Planet X Jiu Jitsu and I'm wondering if there's a site like this for it, for things such as forums, merchandise, and videos. I figure that if I'm gonna start training in the gi I might as well get off on the right foot with more Nibiru wisdom :)
No. It's not quite like that. Look up Magnus Hansson (sp?) on fb. I think he's the one who runs Planet X ( http://www.10thplanetjj.com/threads/...Planet-X-stuff) but it's not exactly its own thing like 10th planet with its own style and merch from what I know. Although, that's not a bad idea. I'm going to be rolling in the gi come January and I'd love a gi to rep with.....but then again, 10th is no gi, so I doubt it'll happen. Lol.
In the meantime, enjoy this:

Also, once I start in the gi, I'll join you in a campaign to get Magnus to post more vids and maybe even make some merch. :)
Let's do it. I bleed 10P and would love to rep it in the GI, style wise and gear wise. Then again, I have no problem repping Marcelo stuff either ;)Quote:

True that. That is why Master Eddie and Marcelo are my 2 top instructors. Master Eddie bring a style that make people say "WTF" is he doing, before they know it, tap tap. Also I used to go around searching for all of Marcelo stuff, but guess what, all the stuff that I want to learn from Marcelo, Master Eddie is already doing that for me. Just watch the MTS and warm ups, all the really good stuff that I want to incorporate into Cora's game are there already. All the passing, all the side control escapes, butterfly guards, just a bunch of great techniques. Between these two style, once mastered, will be very formidable against anyone.Quote:

For me its not whether what techniques we should use for the Gi, but to filter out what techniques are kids friendly. There are just some techniques that aren't meant for kids. And trying to filter them out is my greatest challenge as I like them all. I'm itching to teach Cora the twister, but I can't. I'm itching to teach her the truck, but I just can't yet.Quote:

Oh yeah Gi are NOT cheap. I had washed Cora's Point Break Gi in warm water and it shrunk. Now we are trying to find another Gi for her so she can go and compete at Kids Pan this Feb. The one I shrunk will not meet its requirement. They actually take the tap measure out and measure the kids Gi... good grief!!!! IBJJF is something else.
Just get one of marcelos Academy gis if you want to rep.
10P4L -- figured if there was a way to rep it I would. MGJJ is fine for repping too thoughQuote:

They measure the sleeve length as their thinking is that if yous is not long enough, you have less sleeve for other people to grab on which give you a slight advantage. They measure pant legs and the skirt length also, for the same reasoning. That is why I love 10thplanet style, regardless of the amount of material for you to grab, we going with hooks instead.Quote:

You are absolutely correct on the twister side control. We found out the hard way. We have been drilling at home on the side control escape (c cup/Heisman) and Cora is getting the hang of it. But every time she does it at the gym, she is having a hard time Heisman her way out from a twister side control. After viewing the tape, I notice the boy is holding onto her Gi pant not to mention he's about 110 lbs...LOL So yea, Gi pant + twister side control = no bueno :)Quote:

we are lucky to train at a school where the gi style is MG and the game is closely used in both gi and no-gi and translates very well to 10p.
p.s. once my arm heals up and i get back to training i can hook you up with a blue fushida fc top.
I can't wait to try it out! My lockdown game is getting pretty reliable, and practically everyone at my gym (with exception of a few; me being one) are purples and browns. So if it's working this well while being slippery and doing it against higher level grapplers, I can't wait to try with the gi!Quote:

I recommend the Renato Laranja gi. Its rated number 1 on the multiple internet gi rating websites. Made out of a blend of Acai berries and the hair of big booty Brazilian woman. It only cost $799.99. On sale right now for the holidays

Please don't push his gear on this site, you could get banned for that, we have children on this forum :)Quote:

PLUS, you get to add in grips to it. Best part of all is now we have a hotbox so I have people around to help me trouble shoot (and to show my things like muddy waters, etc). Some stuff I love, and it goes straight into my repertoire. Some stuff isn't for me, and I file it away for future consideration and/or defensive knowledge.
I have even showed up to nogi class in my gi, lol.
What's funny about that? I thought Master Renatch said we were supposed to.Quote:

Those children are only on the site to track his whereabouts so they can locate him to get child supportQuote:
