    Affiliate Instructors...

    Im really interested in how you guys got involved with Eddie and the 10th Planet system. Ive noticed that most of you have a background in other grappling arts to start off with and I was just curious as to what made you decide to start integrating Eddie's system into your game and to start contributing to the evolution.

    Sick of the Brazilian bullshit and gi fallacy. I'm only concerned with what works, and what works for me, not being bound by some methodology or ideology that doesn't think outside the box. 'Nuf said.

    straight up ability to use this in something OTHER than BJJ. 10th Planet has so many flexible (pun intended) options to work outside of sitting on padded mats and grabbing collars.
    I, for one, teach a military combatives class at the world HQ for Air Force Spec Ops, along with a womans self defense class. I noticed IMMEDIATELY the transitional abillity of the system.
    Case in point- holding someone in Mission Control gives you a free hand to defend/attack. That can be the difference between life and death in my world.

    I see a comprehensive language in Bravo's game. His philosophies are dope, and have jump started my game.

    Iz juss dope, homie...

    i learn all i can and i also know what works for me and what i can put in my bag of tricks. ive never used a gi so im not bound by "BJJ purists." I can understand their passion for the Gi game but if they have problems with the no gi game stay the hell away from the scene.

    My draw was a system that consistanly evolves and is doesnt believe that one way is the only way. And all the views on shit aliens, government, etc.

    I was originally really big on the gi. I was training with Renato at the time. Somehow, we ended up training with Eddie. I decided to shed the gi for good. Renato...not so much.

    I miror everyone elses comments, from the Brazilian Bullshit and politics to the Gi, to LIKE attracts LIKE. On all these levels and more I bound with Eddie personally and with the system. It's a matter of believing in what your selling (If you'll allow the analogy). 10TH Planet was the catalist that moved me away from the Gi. I realized (The hard way) that all the skill I had learned with the gi didn't help me when the chips were down. They are 2 completely different sports. I was a Gi man Thru and Thur. Pain, Defeat and reality were my motivators.

    I'm not bashing the Gi here guys, in fact I believe if you learn NO GI first you have an AWESOME base to play GI. Not so much in the reverse order.
