Eddie Bravo - Submitted for Blue Belt Rank

[Jay Chow]

He ran though a good amount of tech in the video, I could point out a few things that needed tweaking but nothing horrendous. I think he's def Blue belt level, IMHO, but just needs a little more 10th planet rep in competitions. Not questioning his loyalty to the system, but I think the reason repping in comps is important is it shows your loyalty publicly. Keeps it exclusive. But my opinion doesn't mean much because he's not my student, obviously Eddie's decision. He's on the right track though, keep it up!

I agree with this. Everything is there except the 10th Planet patches But very nice technique.

"... all unedited in one swoop. You gotta show me how much you know without looking at notes. Easy right??" no! being on a straight-green-10th planet-diet :-) its not that easy to go through 10min of technique without any notes. im afraid that kind of concentration could cause me an epileptic shock... well, i`ll have to take the risk. im not cutting the green-diet!!

Really enjoyed watching your vids, very nice and good luck with the promotion

And finally my techniques video, I thought I read somewhere it was to be 5 mins long. I recently did a search and saw it was supposed to be 15. If you need me to submit another video at that length please let me know. At the very minimum could you tell me if I'm on the right track with this submission. Thanks in advance.

UPDATED: (Oct 2 2011) This is Andrew Tenneson's first MMA match that happened 2-3 weeks ago. He won via heel hook. I hope that this helps in pushing the case to earn his blue belt from Mr. Bravo. Thanks again for everyone's support.

Andrew heard the pop before the ref broke them up.

I doubt anything is going to happen it was a fraudulent submission in the first place and was not within the guide lines Eddie set up.

Where was the fraud at? JW (i am in no way challenging the fact that it may be fraud im just asking to have it explained y it is fraud)
