Hey guys, I'm a big fan of Eddie and 10th planet JJ but unfortunately I live in Sacramento and there are no 10th planet schools here. And my BJJ school won't allow people to practice 10th planet techniques. But I still watch MTS on my own and try different techniques during rolling.
So if anyone's in the area and wants to drill, let me know.
Thanks,
If you are in California, there's a 10p close enough to get to. Our nearest one was 8 hous away, and Barncat and I made the trip.. I know there's people that travel a couple hours EVERY NIGHT to get to the nearest 10p.
Hey what's up man, I'll be in Sacramento area for a little bit in July. Where would we drill?Quote:

Denny Prokopos is an excellent coach who inspires toughness in all of his students. If you're a larger fellow, Big Red will happily tap you out 17 times and then show you the intricacies of how it occurred. You'll find nothing but friendly killers to train with there.
Worth the drive :)Quote:

I live near Sac and would love to drill with you but at the moment I'm hurt. We should keep in contact!
I am also planning to hit up Denny's school a when I recover. We could car pool and take turns driving. As Amir said its not that far. Just a fair warning, it will be a while before I fully recover.
Pretty sure Red would be happy to tap out a small guys as well. On top of all the actual jiu jitsu, mental toughness is definitely something I've gained from Denny. I am biased, but I also have trained at dozens of gyms, buth 10thP and not, nothing is better than 10th Planet S.F. make the drive as often as you can.Quote:

Alex is closer to you in Walnut Creek, I would make it to his spot but Denny's is a must. I have friends out there, but feel free to add me on facebook if you have one and we can set something up if I am in town :)
Hey man, I travel to Sacramento frequently and train at a few places I HIGHLY Recommend. I never miss a no-gi class at Cassio Werneck's academy. He is an awesome guy, is down with the System, and a Phalanx athlete :).Quote:

In fact I'm heading up in two weeks and will be wearing my TPJJ gear while I roll in their gi class. He's a great guy. Lastly, check out Carnage MMA in Orangevale. Jaime Jarra is very good at no-gi and pretty much the scariest looking guy I've ever seen but also very nice and polite. Hope this helps!
Oh and I should also add that Cassio Werneck taught everything Eddie did at M3 last week in his class....both the gi and no gi class. Lots of love in Sacramento, just not at Yemaso. Check out Team Werneck and you can get all the TPJJ training you want brotha.
Derek is awesome at Waza and where I started. He has a couple of purples that know the system as well. No twisters or not many leg locks there just FYI. He only does GI but is open to any style you want to do also a black belt under Cassio. Hey Phalanx when you are in Sac you should come train with Gustavo
Awesome, I'm down to carpool when you're recovered. Love BJJ but the shit's fucking rough on your body huh?

JJ is like my Zen. Dont take training for granted. I did and would miss days or even weeks at times. Now that I can't train at all I REALLY miss it. Cant wait to heal up and get back to training.
