Hey guys, I live in Atlanta Georgia and m at least 3 hours away from the closest moon. I practice regular bjj but I wanna supplement and add to it with the 10th planet system. Should I get the books and DVDs and drill it on a dummy, or should I just wait till I'm 18 and go to college close to a moon or something. Thanks
I live in Ireland and we have no moons here but I CONSTANTLY train 10th Planet, my MMA club is primarily a jiu jitsu/sambo club but everyone has an open mind and thanks to 1 of my jiu jitsu coaches who is a 10th Planet fanatic, he helped teach me the basics (from watching DVDs and studying every bit of footage he could get his hands on). I still want to travel to the moon over in the UK and eventually to LA and Portland to train with Eddie and then Nate Orchard too but in the meantime, I'm rockin the 10th Planet every day in training! Every now and then I go to Dublin to train with another gym that is pure BJJ (no 10th planet) and a lot of the guys there havn't a clue what to do when I use the techniques from the system!
I live in Ireland where there's no moons at all, I got into 10th planet with the books just, didn't really have anyone to drill the techniques on but I still managed to implement them into my game from sparring and rolling, so if you want to implement 10th planet techniques I'd say the books are better than nothing at all tho it will take longer to get the techniques up to a good level obviously.
I'd say get the books, see if anyone at your current gym wants to drill them, if not get mental reps in and reps while you are rolling and also MTS helped me a bunch! :)
I'm currently training at HQ, 2 more weeks left here, definitely do it! You won't regret it :)Quote:

Awesome buddy! Whole bunch of killers out here on the mats, hard not to enjoy! And obviously learning straight from eddie as well is brilliant, moves I thought I knew, I've just been shown all the small details that make a huge difference that I've been missing out on from him.
Wow... That sounds awesome. I can't drive yet but wen I can I think Cali is callin my name...
Struggling a bit with funds lately but I'll definitely make it over to 10th Planet in Birmingham before 2015, I have family there so accommodation should be fine! Paul I don't suppose you'll be traveling to Dublin for the comp in Team Ryano next month?
Feel ur pain brotha... Teenage years are a bitch:(
My teenage years are over next month! Haha, I work but the hours suck and I'm pretty much working to pay for training!
No idea Keith, gonna look and see what comps are upcoming once I get back home!
Damn straight! But thanx for the advice I'll defiantly use it... And once I finally get a car I'll be going to hq as much as I can.
Videos and books are good. Also Mastering the System. Practice when you can.Quote:

Come hang out in Decatur for a week. 3 1/2 hr drive for you.
Thanks, I think I'll defiantly do that!
Myself and three friends go over and over 10th planet techniques. We've all benefited tremendously.

I watch MTS, DVD's and Books that reference the material I have learned in class and privates. I also study areas that I had problems with in rolling. I make lots of notes and do lots of visualization. It is slower than being close and training more regularly but I seem to be improving:)
I live west of Atlanta, if you ever want to drill 10th Planet stuff or car pool to Decatur let me know! Not a whole lot of 10th Planet guys around me so its always nice to meet other ronin.
Yeah I live in Gwinnett so that would be pretty cool
Moon or no moon, do whatcha gotta do!! Learn everything you can, once your eyes have been opened to the system it is hard to accept bullshit. And the way....of 10th planet is just that, no bull. If we see something that works, we are open to ideas and make modifications or changes if needed.
Yeah man defiantly, my biggest goal is to one day be good at both styles, 10th planet and traditional so I'm defiantly gonna do wat I gotta do
