the pilgrimage to HQ and rolling with GM Eddie for the first time

[Matt "Gumby" Glach]

I'm so jealous. One day I will make that same journey! It sounds super homo stalkerish but it's definitely a dream of mine to roll with Eddie before I die! So nice to hear that they are warm and welcoming at HQ (not that I'd expect anything less). The 10th planet family is so awesome, I love it and I haven't really even met anyone yet... chatting with people here on the forum has been enough to win me over permanently. I consider myself a part of the 10th planet family already

10th Planet Rules!!

Some great footage there, I never get bored of watching top guys (and gals) rolling. It's an art form and no mistake.

Now im really jelous, you got to roll with the 2 dudes that made me want to do Jiu Jitsu and not just think its Jack ass wrestling. And im in the heart of wrestling country.

If HQ seems to far (and it's not) hit up your closest moon. Just set the goal and then take the first step the path is shorter than you think. We're all family just start making connections. The best part is that's just the start. I weighed about 195 there, probably closer to 180 by the time I was done sweating. You may notice in the pic at the end I look like a very tired, happy drowned rat.

I hope to make the same pilgrimage in the near future. I had a room and plans to compete at no-gi worlds but now I cant (Not able to register with the IBJJF in time for my ID Card). So, maybe I'll just make it a trip to HQ since I'll be there anyway. Who know's we'll see. Sounds like you had fun. Good work.

Thanx for the support guys. I felt a little disapointed in myself because I wanted to make a good impression and I don't think I brought my A game. After I've had time to reflect a bit I think what happened is that my standards just got raised. Iron sharpens iron but it's very humbling when you start comparing yourself to the elite.

I can't believe how fast that teepee worked. That was insane. If you get a minute, would you, please, share your trip details? Where you stayed, ate, how often you trained... all that stuff would be great.
