10th Planet Riverside made my year

I recently moved here to the States and have had nothing but AMAZING attitude and help from some of the greatest guys I've ever met, and have nothing but good things to say for 10th Planet Riverside.
Sean, Jeremy, Chad, Randall, Jeff and everyone who helped me and was so accomodating - THANK YOU and I look forward to becoming a representing member of 10th Planet.

For guys with mad skill and amazing achievements they were humble and helpful and gave me much more than I'd expect from a gym if I'd been going there for years.
Since coming to USA we've gotten mixed reactions, some kind but mostly being disregarded the minute someone hears our accent.

The guys at Riverside 10thPJJ showed nothing but great kindness and amazing hearts.
Thanks to everyone involved and here's to many more years of awesome training.
You guys really made it worth it to come here!

Hey dude welcome to our MOON. I think we rolled recently, I remember the accent. Where did you move to the USA from?

That's awesome Calan.. I'm assuming you're the guy from South Africa? I heard someone came in on Sat to train specifically at 10th riverside, reigning from South Africa, and I thought that was either a hoax, or total dedication.
Welcome to 10th Planet,
Rick

Yeah that was me. You helped me a lot Mark thanks man, especially yesterday.
I can say one thing for sure - it's no hoax :P
I sold all my shit and came out here and let me tell you - I don't regret one second since the moment I walked into the gym.
I have total dedication to this and the attitude of you guys at Riverside has just increased that!
Everyone has been helpful and extremely understanding.
It's literally a dream come true except it's been better in real life than my dream.
In a few months/years I hope I can be as helpful and cool towards new guys and let the 10th Planet family just keep growing that way.

Hey man I got mad respect for you sounds like you have real dedication to this amazing martial art and I wish you the best of luck in your journey down the 10th planet road hope to meet you one day

Don't mention it dude. I sincerely hope everything works out for you here in the US. :D

10th Planet Riverside is one of my most successful moons if not THE most succesful, this is why :)

We've kicked it a few times now CJ and I can say you are a great addition to the gym in all aspects and we are happy to have ya.

The conversations you, Randal and I have had just prove you are a perfect fit for the fam.

Hell yes! I can honestly see why the talent is so crazy in there - it's the good karma filling that place to the brim. It's made my goal reachable and made me just want to help others as I have been so tremendously helped.

Ah dude thanks! I totally agree :P It's the type of shit I love to discuss and the type of atmosphere I like to be around. Like you guys said ; Law of attraction!
Now I need to up my game so I can join in on the technical Jiu Jitsu talk haha

Fuck yeah! Awesome story Calan, won't be long before you're telling it again when you get your black belt :)
