10P near fort lauderdale?

[Matt Prentice]

I think gone are the days where places are outright not "10p friendly". There's nary a gym I visit where there isn't a positive 10p vibe in some regard. People have respect for the 10p system now, more than they used to. There may be some residual feelings here or there, as a whole most everybody has seen Eddie v. Royler II and Geo vs. Eddie Cummings by now. Times are changing. I'm sure most, if not all gyms in Ft. Lauderdale would not turn you away.

Oh you would be surprised.

I have to agree with Coach Herzog here. If you walk into 99% of the gyms down there and start heel hooking everyone, there's going to be trouble. It's an area that's still very heavy on the IBJJF style of jiu jitsu.

Heel hooking without asking about their leg lock policy first would not be proper etiquette. Obviously no ones going to fault you for backing up your instructor. Respec

My point is that I have alot students that travel, some gyms are super cool, and some have been complete assholes to my students when they tell them they are 10th Planet, and im talking recently. Has nothing to do with leg locks.

You're not going to find much in the way of 10P system instruction, but there are a ton of solid places to drop in while you're in town. I know couple guys over at Moncaio Brothers in downtown FTL, that's a solid school. If you're not averse to driving 20 minutes, BTT in Boca Raton is great. That is where my wife and I trained before moving to NY. They have nogi classes/open mats 2 or 3 days a week.

Sounds good! I don't mind driving at all. Thanks a lot!

My favorite are the schools that don't necessarily hate on 10P techniques, but rather respect them as a serious threat to the BJJ scene. I did a drop-in at a Matt Serra affiliate once and the entire class was about breaking the lockdown and getting the Darce or can-crusher (lol).

Needless to say I enjoyed hitting a Vaporizer in front of the head coach during live rolls

Come visit me up in Jacksonville, I have two schools now, 10th Planet Orange Park and 10th Planet Atlantic Beach and yes, Fla, in many ways has been stuck in the stone ages, but we basically flipped the establishment on its head here and now every gym has memebers who stop by our schools periodically and get down with legs and no gi, the main thing a year ago was people still clinging to the Gi as the ultimate training tool but we have made so much progress even to the point where we are invited to other local schools open mats now and I've worked really hard to promote the "same team" Jiu jitsu vs the world mentality. But can't speak on south Florida, but we'll be there eventually, maybe not me but it'll happen one day.
