I read that with the pro sign up that you can get ranked by Eddie. I was wondering how that works exactly.

If you're looking for an easy promotion, you should probably try another avenue. I hear Gracie University is good at giving out blue belts, although they may have changed their system--I dunno, don't really follow it.
If you want to be legit ranked you're going to have to visit a Moon on a regular basis. For instance, I live in South Florida, where there aren't any Moons, therefore I have decided to make regular trips to Decatur, Alabama to train under Bmac, 800 miles away.
How bad do you want it?
Go train at a moon or hotbox as often as possible and go to any 10th Planet seminars that are remotely close.Quote:

Call Eddie and ask him for you blue belt. It's as easy as that... Not.
Drive the 2.5 hours to the moon in Alton, get roughed up, rinse repeat.
Idk what y'all are talking about, I got my blue from Eddie the day I signed up for the pro subQuote:

You have a lot of options, there's Poplar Bluff, south of you, there's Alton just to your east and Springfield has a place, 10th Planet Black Belt Sean Bollinger has been there for almost 3 weeks. He leaves this week but will be back in September. Doing privates with guys like that helps alot. There's also 10th planet Omaha, those are a good group of guys. You are surrounded by places to train man. Also if you are ever in KC hit me up. I'm always up for some jiu jitsu.
Dam man you surround with bunch killa
Hahahahahahahaha
Yeah, he's here till Wednesday. There's also a hotbox in Warsaw. And feel free to come to my gym in Joplin anytime.Quote:

Pay $5/month here. Study the techniques. Think about them. Practice them. Attempt to apply them in training at a 10th Planet, or any other, gym. Attempt to apply them in local competitions. Belts will come (or they won't), but more importantly you will grow as an individual both physically and mentally.
Awesome advice.Quote:
