Is it possible to be ranked in the 10thP system without having access to a school?
The answer interests me too...
For example, is a grade can be validated by master Eddie Bravo on a trip to the HQ ?
Back when ther were only a handful of schools yes, but now there’s almost 100 so if you want to get ranked in the 10th Planet system you’re gonna have to travel and start a relationship with the closest school to you
I still hope i can get ranked in the system from a ~ far I even wrote Slick Rick an email ( two times ) from advice of i think EBR 76 or 78 that even white belts should register through an email for an upcoming app of people affiliated with 10p.Quote:

moving on and not wanting to look for unknown people to start relationships with at some point in life

With that said tho there is nobody else i would rather get a belt or a ranking from then master Eddie Bravo .
4kids, 2 jobs. It's mostly a problem with availability. Trust me. If I had any way of making it to a 10thPjj school during open hours, I would be there without a doubt.
Agreed. Back when I did judo throughout my childhood and teen yrs, the only thing we ha was BBMagazine every month. I found YouTube and thank first thing I found was Eddie Bravo and the Machados. 10thp was my first exposure into bjj. 15yrs later and 10thpjj is now one of the top 2 or 3 schools to be with.
I’d recommend starting with just trying to get to seminars. I understand multiple jobs for sure, so a 1 day event that you get 2-3 months notice for should be doable. Once you do that then you’ll have an idea where you’d at least be willing to try that school later, too.
Very difficult for residents in Hawaii. Seminars are rare. No school On the islands as of yet
Thats a great advice fo sho.Quote:

A belt still verifies your skill in 10p; that’s why people want them so bad! LOL! Can’t say that about many schools or systems anymore. I’ve never met a “gifted” Belt in 10p yet :-)
You think you've got problems XD. We don't have a 10th Planet on our continent...Nearest one to me is in Switzerland, which is a casual 13,000km away lolQuote:

Do not fall into the trap of not regularly training at a school that works with your situation just cuz it's not a 10th planet. You're going to develop if you train. 10th planet won't be going anywhere. Many of the 10th planet specific moves and concepts have become very much ubiquitous throughout the jiu jitsu community. You can always build your skills elsewhere until you have a situation where you can train at a 10p regularly. It will benefit you in the long run to train wherever you can in order to have a solid platform to jump off from when you do have a 10th planet near you. The knowledge and application of jiu jitsu skills is the most important thing in the long run. Rank and things like that will follow in due course.Quote:

Absolutely, that is the goal and idea. Thank you for the reply.
