Hey,
first off, i'm totally new to this forum stuff.
What got me here was the buzz about the new rubber guard path. I never even knew what Paypal was, got an account just for this
.
I do mma, and i'm an instructor in our club in Izegem, Belgium (Belgium is the country south of the Netherlands).
I started out, doing karate when i was 11. Did that for about 6 or 7 years, then boxing for a while.
Until 3 or 4 years ago i had no ground skills, none. I thought i was gonna be able to get the job done, with just striking... Yeah really. At the time of my first mma fight, i didn't even know what a guard, or side control was. I just wanted to do mma. I trained at a karate and traditional jiu-jitsu club. So obviously, after 5 mma fights my record was 1-4-0.
I started doing research, on the internet, and going to a gym, about 45 minutes from where i lived, to learn grappling. I fell in love with it.
About a year ago, i started getting into the 10th planet techniques, the ones who were available to me, on youtube and such. Started trying it in class, and gradually got better at it. I'm hitting twisters here and there now, not with the experienced grapplers, not yet. Been working a lot on twister side, and the truck lately. But the half guard/lockdown is really my game right now, it kinda comes naturally by now. Having a lot of fun with it. Even made a flow-chart, didn't even know there was such a thing. Now after nosing around in the Nibiru forum, i noticed that my chart is nowhere near complete. The 10th planet system is WAY bigger than i thought.
In my last mma fight, still amateur, i already had enough confidense to use the lockdown and rubber guard, i'll post the link to the video.
In Belgium, we have this unified mma union, called BKBM²O, wich would translate into "Belgian Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA Organisation". The way it works is, there are 4 classes, N-class (New), C-class (Amateur), B-class (Semi-pro), and A-class (Pro). You start out in N-class, where the rules are: No knees to the face, no elbows, no slams, on the ground only punches to the body, no spinning backfist. And you wear shinpads, and headprotection. C-class, same rules but without the shinpads and headprotection. B-class, knees to the face allowed, slams, spinning backfist, and on the ground, punches to the face. This is where it actually becomes real mma you could say. A-class is the same but you go pro. You do a couple fights in N-class, then go to C-class, then you have to win 8 fights to get to B-class, and then win 8 fights to get in the A-class. I'm in B-class now, my last fight was still C-class.
One of my goals is eventually to become a 10th Planet affiliate. For now, i still have a lot of learning to do, but i know i'll get there. Becoming a member is certainly a step in the right direction.
