I have nothing but good things to say about Derek. He is truly amazing. His knowledge of all things martial arts is staggering. I learned a lot from him. He understands how to train the mind and body. He is cerebral as fuck. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to meet Ant Lopez. He is a true phenom. I have no doubt he will be a big name one day, and can not wait to see that happen.
OH LAWDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
y u leaving this time?
Personal reasons.
-_- if you go to a gracie affiliate and train gi, your dead to me..
He's gonna go nowhere, and train getting his asshole plugged.
+1
Unfortunate that you are leaving, hopefully your personal reasons are sorted and you can train once again with Derek :)
As JC said, I hope that you are able to get your personal stuff worked out. Also, I hope that you get the chance to train again if you desire.

Some people just don't like it when you speak truth to them.
good luck in your new ventures...
You couldn't have described Derek and Ant any better. The 10PO crew are an awesome bunch of guys and gals with heart and soul. I've known Derek for more than a decade now and his grasp and passion on all things martial arts and 10P is incredible!!! For those that haven't had the opportunity, you gotta check this guy out. Even though this is a jitz forum, see what he can do in all ranges of combat. And as much as you think you know about Ant...he's a mini-Derek in other martial arts as well. Much respect to SIMS Dojo and 10PO!
I agree 100%Quote:

A real accident that I had no control over. My intentions were to just tap her out not hurt her. I am really sorry Katie.
Taylor, I see Jiu Jitsu changing your life already, and your mindset. There is nothing wrong with rolling with girls, you just have to be a bit more careful when sparring. I think rolling with girls is fantastic for technique, especially the ones that can beat you! Good for you for getting back in there, and thanks for clearing it up.
I hope Katie is okay. You better buy her some 10th Planet shorts as an apology ;)
