I am toying with this idea, what do you think? 10th Planet White Knights will be a non ranked comp team. You will display white belt, but compete wherever you feel comfortable. The goal is all the Advanced Divisions. Would be nice to play a little psychological warfare. 10th Planet white belt vs Purple, Brown, Black.... Taking the Midwest by storm, striking fear in the Advanced divisions nationwide ;)
No one wants to lose an Expert/Adv division to a white belt....
Thoughts???
I didnt know anyone else from the 502 was on here. whats up Bill? by the way, we dont know each other, just saying hi.
I can barely tap my dog out. When the moon turns to blood is when I'll tap a purple belt out.
LOL...watch out for those collar chokes.
The team will not all be white belts, just guys who are not hung up on rank. So we will wear a 10th Planet White patch and stick with the idea that we are all white belts in our mind (no ego, ready to learn from anyone that has something useful to contribute etc...)
Where do you train? Ohh, HI!Quote:

LoL! No, not at all. Only Intermediate or Expert divisions. Kind of a spoof, like get in my guard, except with skills. But no novice or beginner div's. Otherwise yeah that would be sandbagging. It's not like they have belt divisions in No-Gi. Just a mental thing to mess with your opponents. At first they're thinking easy win, then your working a tight game on them and they're scrambling. Both mentally and physically. Just a random thought, and I want to know what everyone thought.
I don't appreciate the racism against the whites
Maybe come up with a different name bro. I know it is not meant to, but sounds kind of racist to me. Just sayin'...
I am down with that I can rep the team in the UK!
I was thinking the same thing being an Asian guy that grew up in Indiana, I immediately got that vibe as well!Quote:

The whole racist shit needed to die along time ago. Who's left that racist? Are you? I know I am not, but I had a diverse childhood. You will never be able to judge a persons character by their skin color or bank account. Damn so much for my joke.....Quote:

Yeah I didnt think that you meant it as racist, just the thing with white knights could be thought of to correlate with the white knights of the klu klux klan.Quote:

LOL @ racist name. 10th Planet White Belts > Gracie Blue Belts.
DOOOOUUUUHHHHH, I didn't even think about the KKK, holy moly!!!!! Damn it man! It could've been funny.......
It sounds like it ;)Quote:

Grey implies you are between White and Black, where will be up to your opponent to find out! Just trying to add a little mystery, and fun to the competition scene. I think some of the other 10th Planet coaches can attest to some of my "beginners" skills. Phoenix fought up and won silver, I wanted him in the expert after they told him he would have to compete up a division. He beat the favorite for that division in his first match, and got the big head and got caught in his next. He will be the Ohio State Champion in a month! And he is a fresh White belt... It was his performance and Ian's humbleness that made me think of this idea. Ian displays that he is a White belt but I know he is Purple belt and a good Purple at that. But he doesn't need the recognition of Purple Belt to be the soldier he is. He just is....Quote:

Grey Knights would be much better.
Thanks for the feedback! I like the 10th Planet Grey Knights Competition Team!
What's your rank?
Grey!
???
LMAO!!!
Nothing wrong with grey... Sounds like grandpas ;)
Yea i would change the name because down in the south they will think you are a bunch of 10th planet KKK members. Grey Knights would be alot better just so there wouldnt be any confusion.
