This forum is PURE AWESOMENESS! Thank you Eddie, Jason & all others who contributed!

I've been a member of the Nibiru Forum for just short of a year now and I wanted to create this thread to express my gratitude for this website's existence! Honestly, I credit the Nibiru Forum and the 10th Planet community in general for SO MANY positive additions to my life!

Not only has this forum motivated me to start training again after 2 years of no jiu jitsu, but it has improved my jits game by LEAPS and BOUNDS! I am 110% convinced that 10th Planet is the absolute best form of no-gi jiu jitsu ever created, and I am EXTREMELY grateful for you, Eddie, and for everyone else in the system who has contributed to make it what it is today.

What's more, this forum has allowed us to organize the 10th Planet Miami Hotbox, from which I have formed friendships in only a couple months that rival the bonds I have with my LIFELONG friends and family! I can't even express in words how amazing the 10th Planet practitioners are! We are the nicest, friendliest, most open-minded and accepting group of people I have ever encountered! Nothing I have ever experienced even comes close. Thanks to the Nibiru Forum I was introduced to Brandon and Tyler Woolsey, who I literally consider a part of my family now! I have known the Woolseys for merely 2 months and Brandon is like an older brother to me, and Tyler is like a younger brother to me! Not only do we spend time together training, but we hang out outside of jiu jitsu all the time as well! Without this forum, I wouldn't even know them! The Woolseys are also largely responsible for the formation and the success of the 10th Planet Miami Hotbox and you only need to spend a few minutes with the team to realize where the love and respect stems from. It stems from the Woolseys, and the rest of the team perpetuates the love and the respect which has truly turned this team into a family in such a SHORT amount of time!

Since the first day I joined this forum I have been here literally every single day without fail. I try to post regularly, but even when I don't contribute, I read most threads, and even though we have some drama every once in a while, it is by FAR the best online community I have ever been a part of!

The success of this forum is a direct testament to your personality, and your teaching style, Eddie. You are an inspiration to every single one of us! After spending an entire year here I felt the need to create this thread to express my gratitude to everyone here, especially you Master Bravo! Thank you all so much! Whether you realize it or not, you have ALL touched my life in a positive way and I can honestly say that this forum has PERMANENTLY changed my life for the better! I have no doubts that this forum will continue its brilliance for MANY MANY years to come and I am nothing but optimistic for the future of 10th Planet!

I love you all! 10th Planet for LIFE! :D :D :D

(Edit: I meant to include Scott in the thread title, he designed the site right? Thanks man, great job!)

Your welcome

<3

That's a beautiful story, thank you for the dedication to the system :)

Thanks Eddie! I'm a 10th Planet warrior for life, no question about it. I have every intention of taking a trip to HQ to train with you the first opportunity I get. Hopefully within the next year!

Amen.

Well put Matt. I know your taking Law in school now. But I foresee a 10th Planet JJ Instructor/school owner in your future! You've been bitten by the 10thjj bug!!! Sorry there's NO CURE!

Fuck Yeah!

definitely 10th planet has really changed everyones life in the miami hotbox im sure we'll all agree to that and its only gonna get better from here on out once herzog comes down molds us into monsters and then we'll open a school soon and have eddie come down and pretty much achieve our dreams come true (at least mine lol)

World domination?

Im down for some 10th Planet World Domination.

Couldn't agree more!!

I always fly twice per year 10,000 miles at a time both ways for the same reasons..Eddie and the boys/girls are some of the most incredible people on earth. When I fly to LA I have a smile on my face, when I leave, its full of great memories and incredible motivation. Works for me:)

No one cares more about my game and my ambition like Eddie does. He is always helping me, little by little, to become the person of my dreams! Well said MAtt

Thanks Matt, this is what 10th Planet is all about for me. The system and each other. We will have our moon in Miami in due time. We have alot of work to do still fellas. Make no mistake, once we become a moon it will get harder for us. The more known we are the more peeps down here will come after us. They are already having to chase us to get medals and dont even know it yet. We will take over the world one small piece at a time!!

Thanks for the support Jack! I have already decided that once I start my legal career next year and have a steady income, if we don't have a 10th Planet Moon down here in South Florida yet, I will be purchasing gym space, and funding the moon myself! I can't think of any better way to invest my money than opening a 10th Planet gym with the Miami Hotbox guys! I am extremely fortunate in that my parents have been able to pay for my entire education, leaving me debt free. As long as I continue to succeed at the firm I'm currently working at, I shouldn't have a problem getting a job after graduation. If offered the job, I'll stay at this firm, and if not, I'll still have a valuable referral and experience which should help land me a job at another firm. *fingers crossed*

In other words, I'm doing everything I can to put myself in a position where I'm able to finance a 10th Planet gym in the near future. But regardless of whether I'm an owner, an instructor, or merely a dedicated student, I can assure you I will be largely involved! I have indeed been bitten by the 10thPJJ bug and you're correct in that there is NO CURE! :-)

The only way out is death by SnuSnu!

Well good luck Matt! But with your passion you don't need luck. Choose a job you LOVE, and you will never have to work a day in your life! I love that saying! I hope someday I will make that my reality. I think you're well on your way!

effin a cotton effin AAAA

How does the hotboxes work? Other than barricading yourself inside car with lot of green stuffs..
Is it a way to meet other ten planet groupies? Could a hotbox later become a moon? Etc..

Yeah, oh; What Matt said! :)

There is a stickied thread that describes the hotboxes and the criteria to become one. Check it out! Forming a hotbox is the first step to becoming a full fledged moon.
