Here in springfield, il there's no 10th planet the closest on is in Alton which I go to every Saturday so I had to start going to a gracie barra while at class today I was paired up against a 2 stripe brown belt. I pulled guard started to work homie control then switched to rubber guard, I dropped my leg so he could pass so I could I attempt to do a carne low and behold it worked!!!! He was a lil pissed but oh well the proof is there the system works!!!!
Your one experience of tapping a guy represents what?
That thru hard work and constant repetition it'll work against higher ranked people.
It represents the tip of the iceberg. Job well done Redfox. Keep that fire burning and there's no telling what you can do.
Then why give it the title and mention teamsQuote:

Great job! Keep training and keep the positive attitude kiddo! The longer your in the game the less it'll be about getting taps or barra vs 10p and more about improving every day... ;)
Train wherever you can get the most out of given your current situation. Doesn't really matter what name is on the door, every gym is different. From experience, just go in there and work. Let your jiu jitsu speak for you. Also from experience, people will stop giving you their posture or even getting into closed guard at all. Which will suck at first but will make you develop other areas of your game thus benefiting the shit out of you in the long run. The system works but it is just several pieces of the big ass puzzle.
Oh shit! Shit just got real!Quote:

I've hit it a few times, def. need more reps tho
I'm happy to hear that you guys are using it. If you're having trouble, try getting on your side more. And don't be single minded; if he is shutting that down he's opening up something else.
You got that right!Quote:

Or just heisman that shit out of his bicep. Meathook+fully extended heisman control=deadzone.Quote:

Actually you have to Sha'nene for it to be a deadzone. There's a fight there, especially on big guys with pressure.
That really is almost a dead zone. I feel like there are so many powerful and reliable offensive options there.Quote:

You guys wonder why 10th planet gets so much hate, then a thread like this pops up where someone brags about beating a guy with a higher rank in training and you guys support him. How about you show other teams some respect if you want to be respected. Budo jake who posts here is a Gracie barra black belt. I'm sure he enjoys this thread too. Wanna know something else? Jean Jacques was Gracie barra as well.
A guy who trains 4 times at a 10th planet gym talking shit on this forum and making it worse for the rest of us is all I see in this thread. When you fly the flag, you are an ambassador for this team. Remember that when you're bust denigrating other teams while patting yourself on the back
I certainly didn't intend any disrespect. I was actually pretty happy that we derailed it and changed the subject :)
I think he was just pumped up and wanted to tell someone. A better thread title could have been, " carnis are badass!" Brent is right in every way and obviously passionate about the image these perceived rivalries give off. It just takes time for people to realize there isn't that much difference between Jiu jitsu A and Jiu jitsu B in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes before they realize this in their own way, they may say silly things that could potentially instigate things that are completely unnecessary. I was probably guilty as well 3 or 4 years ago. Ahh, the evolution of thought process through exposure and reality checks.
I do not think he meant any disrespect, It sounds like he was a bit excited and wanted to share his experience. As a result, his point was ill conceived but, honestly I think he wished to espouse the legitimacy of 10p technique, yeah... maybe a bit of an ego boost to himself as well. Either way, I agree he could have titled the thread more appropriately but, in reality does it even matter? I see this as opportunity for a higher belt to teach a lower belt the proper course of action. Yes, he came off like a douche but, so did the guy being so easily offended.
One chooses to be offended. Words are wind and the hate goes both ways. Neither effect me. I grapple with others who grapple. Titles and categories become irrelevant. Just train and shut up. Comp vids help, a story is bragging.
If someone is respectful enough to train with you, return it. In the grand scheme, the progression is all that matters. And it gives zero fucks about teams.
