I don't see them on the locations list anymore , did they shutdown ?
10th Planet Delaware is also missing......Must of been a ranking problem at this location??? Just my craze guess!
Not all moons will survive, some will get kicked out of the association, some will decide 10th Planet is not the right choice for them after all and some will just close up shop all together because of financial reasons.
Neale quit because of financial reasons and Kevin quit because he found an association that fit his lifestyle better.
Illegal knife fights being held out back.
Kevin sounds like a pussy.Quote:

I still play a lot of 10th Planet during my NoGi training as well especially the lockdown and monkey mount. If you stop in to Neale's place or Ground Zero Bridgeport which is south of Morgantown you will get excellent instruction, as I can base as factual from my experiences. As far as the jackass that commented on Kevin Greene being a pussy, I think you should go to Delaware and state that to him personally, I would be interested in seeing that outcome considering his back ground. I still have extreme respect for Eddie even though I now train at another gym and have ZERO access to a 10thplanet Affiliate I'm Still a member of this website to continue my evolution with this training and all others, The more information from all sources the better, and I'm sure most of the higher level open minded guys on this forum can agree with that.
i noticed that when i was planning my visits to both, sadness. bring 10th planet to DC!!! its right in the middle of where both schools use to be
o' snap!!! fight! fight!Quote:

In Canada there is Louis Ho, and in the Carolinas Jon Helton. So, I think things are well represented on the Right side of the country.
Maybe I'm just buzzed but this feels so odd. You see guys post here a ton, they're really smart good guys, their students are kicking ass, you start taking for granted that you'll always be hearing from this person......then they just vanish. I wonder from an outside perspective, what must they be feeling inside? How do they feel about that part of their life? Is it simply a case of the wrong timing and they still have the love for 10th Planet, or was it just a great opportunity and now it's all behind them and they have a brand new life? I saw the passion, it felt real, I'm sure it was at the time. Is that all 100% gone now? This probably sounds very childish, sorry.
Not really childish at all IMHO. I was shocked to read Kevin had left for another association, because I also could see his passion for the system. Seems weird for lack of a better term. Gabby and VG gone too?Quote:

Even if I don't wash my Gi for ONE day,at least I'm gonna put some cologne on my lapel. C'mon Guys. "

As far as me, Gabby and Meg go they will continue to represent 10th Planet JJ. To be honest we are kinda nomads to begin with. We were never full time at 10th planet bear but enjoyed going down and training with Kevin and the crew. Those are all awesome guys down there and their affiliation has no bearing on us training there not. Unfortunately we havnt been down there for a while because Meg broke her arm and Gabby has been training non-stop with a purple belt (last years pan am winner) to get her prepared for pan ams this year. We are into heavy crosstraining (we are currently between 3 schools) so that we get exposed to multiple styles and systems. We train with the leg lock guys...the wrestlers...the gi guys...the no-gi guys..it doesnt matter...the more styles the merrier. We take what we can from each and we apply it to our own game.Quote:

She wants to prove shes the best blue belt in the world even though shes only 16 years old. I wouldnt be suprised if we saw her in the cage in the next year either. She found out that she really likes punching people in the face :)

I would love for you to go and tell Kevin your thoughts in person.Quote:

VJ, Gab, and Meg, the same goes for you guys, I will do everything in my power to show the world what Gabby can do. I never will never let your loyalty to the system go un noticed, this is just the beginning of 10th planet, we are all just getting started :)
Another example of why Eddie is the greatest.Quote:
