I've been training the 10th planet system a little over a month and love it! I work at a Gracie Barra and MMA school so I have access to the school on my free time , So I host a open mat where we practice the 10 th planet system. I'm just curious if it's possible to move up in the system not training at a Moon? I'm attending a Eddie Bravo seminar on the 18th of this month and plan on trying to train at some of the Moons in time. Thanks
Eric knows this (clearly cause he works there) and im NOT plugging anything but rather referencing it.... Gracie Barra has an online course where if you submit video tape at GracieUniversity.com (not plugging, referencing) and they see you use all the techniques they teach you, they literally mail you your blue belt, and so on and so forth. but THATS THEM thats how THEY run their teachings clearly not everyone runs it the same as they do but its a potential buisness model... They are the only ones that i am aware of that do this, its a great way to reach those kids who dont have access to a local moon and alot of other things are digital now a days (movies, cds, jiujitsu rank) so it has potential
Once again you don't know what the hell your are talking about Gracie Barra and Gracie Academy in Torrance are two completely different entities.Quote:

For those of you that are interested in a 10th Planet rank and are not
enrolled in an official 10th Planet school, you will need to be a member of
10thplanetjj.com for at least 6 months. No one walks into a new school and
gets ranked right away no matter how good they are, you have to prove your
loyalty. You will then need to post on the Nibiru forum 15 competition wins
on video with the 10th Planet logo on your person in every match(you can
have other school patches too). The final test will be you making a 10
minute video, uncut and unedited of you running thru everything you know 1/2
guard, everything you know rubber guard, everything you know twister and all
the deep hook transitions to spider web. Do not teach to the camera just run
thru all the techs swiftly and call out the names of the positions and moves
as you go thru them. Everything should fit in a 10 minute video that I will
evaluate. I need to see that you have at least 75% of the system down.
Naturally the technique video will be critiqued alot harder for a purple
than a blue, or for a brown than a purple. 10th Planet head instructors that
are non black belts can only rank their students to blue. All Nibiru
warriors that enrolled in official 10th Planet schools that are run by non
black belts that want to get their purple or brown must be first recommended
by their instructor to me and then submit the 10 minute technique video to
me personally. You gotta show me how much you know without looking at notes.
Easy right??
If you don’t have a patch on your shorts then just flash the 10th Planet
gang sign into the camera before or after your match. It’s easy, right hand
pointing down, left hand making an “O” with the thumb on top. That will be
enough for me
Its like 10 comp wins with tpjj patch irl gang sign and video footage of you demonstrating all the tpjj you know (unedited) 15 min of footage.
Last I heard, that's what it was.
Then there was this:
When the ranking section is ready to be launched, this is how it will work. For those of you that are not enrolled in an official 10th Planet school, you will need to post on your 10th Planet profile 10 competition wins on video with a 10th Planet patch on your shorts in every match(you can have other school patches too). Plus 5 10th Planet technique videos. 1 of all the half guard u know, 1 of all the rg u know, 1 of all the twister u know, 1 of all the deep hook transitions u know, and 1 of all the passes u know, all unedited in one swoop. You gotta show me how much you know without looking at notes. Then you get a promotion, either blue, purple or brown. Every promotion no matter what color will require the same 15 videos. Naturally the 5 technique videos will be critiqued alot harder for a purple than a blue, or for a brown than a purple. 10th Planet head instructors that are non black belts can only rank their students to blue. All Nibiru warriors that enrolled in official 10th Planet schools that are run by non black belts that want to get their purple or brown must be first recommended by their instructor and then submit 5 technique videos to this site. 1 of all the half guard u know, 1 of all the rg u know, 1 of all the twister u know, 1 of all the deep hook transitions u know, and 1 of all the passes u know, all unedited in one swoop. You gotta show me how much you know without looking at notes. Easy right??
-EDDIE
Im not sure which one stands Eddie will have to clear that up.
Do all competitions have to be no-gi?
Yeah, I have a message on my MySpace from Eddie. It was something along the lines of sending him rolling videos every 2 weeks or so. But that was from 2008... back when MySpace was cool. I guess as the 10thPlanet system evolves, so do the belting requirements. I've been a member of the site since early 09, and I remember those same posts.
It would make sense.....Quote:

I personally would like to fly to Hollywood and roll with Eddie a few times a year, if he belts me, he belts me. I will continue to record stuff. Just bought a new camera :-D so I gotsta play with it.
What camera did you get? I guess I'm going to get one so I can strat uploading videos of us training. ThanksQuote:

Gracie Barra and Gracie Academy have the same name so it REALLY doesnt matter what your thought is

Can u do the vid with a gi?

he's not a troll.. he's either got some sort of extreme case of autism, or he's an obselete AI which barely features any sort of logical component, and hasnt been shut down for some silly reason, and has somehow acquired internet access...
wow awesomeQuote:
