Twister roll and truck variation

[Chris Herzog]

Craig....im in Manchester England all the time for work. Next time I'm in town I'll message you an we can get together and roll if you like. Feel free to tape if you would like to send to Mr. Herzog so he can get an idea of your skill set. This isn't me coming at you...thought maybe it could help you out.

The second he finds out you're a legit purple, it will be nothing but crickets chirping.

Our goal with the 10th Planet System is to be the best version of Jiu Jitsu for mma and no-gi submission only grappling. There is no time or patience to coddle the delusional. You'll see it again, and you see it get dealt with as always.

Brutal and radical honesty is the only way to improve & evolve, and why I like the 10th Planet system.

I'm always willing to give a guy a chance. Plus it would be cool to have a place to train while over there. Yes, I've been a purple for almost 5 years now... But that shouldn't matter, if he's been training 12 years like he says he would probably be brown, black belt level.. So he should mop the floor with me.

Well he did rank himself as a brown belt here on the forum.

I'm disappointed Craig.. 4 pages in and not once have you accused us of being closed minded or questioned Zogs credentials. You're not following the typical script of a poser

Long story...after a conversation i had with my instructor, his opinion is there is no such thing as no-gi belts. Being that I received my purple belt in BJJ almost 5 years ago and I am not ranked in 10th planet and rarely do gi at this point I am no longer eligible to advance (unless I decide to go back to Gi). The highest I advanced to in BJJ was 4 stripe purple. I was told by my instructor that he would vouge for me as a brown belt in no-gi if I decided to do IBJJF tourny etc. but that he can't in good conscious promote me to brown belt in the Gi unless I put a Gi back on.

I would NEVER misrepresent myself as something I am not. This is a no-gi forum...I have never received a rank from 10thPlanet (the 10thplanet school i used to train at changed affiliations) and thus I have no rank in no-gi.

With all of the pointing fingers at belt ranks etc. I don't want there to be any confusion. At this point its just easier for me to say I'm unranked (vs. dealing with the BJJ community telling me I cant be this belt or that since I don't put a gi on anymore). In the grand scheme of things Im no worse at jiu jitsu than i was when it had a little purple symbol next to my name. Would i love to be a black belt one day.....sure....but this is just the way it is right now...maybe one day the BJJ community will acknowledge No-Gi time on the mat equally as Gi time on the mat for belt rank.

Didn't you receive your purple in the Gi? So you're still a purple in BJJ

[VJ Bella]

The last rank I received in bjj was a fourth stripe on my purple belt. I don't really do bjj anymore though and do not have a no-gi rank. It is what it is man. My hope is that either my son or my daughter will give me my black belt one day. Until then... I just keep training to kill everyone.

I got the feeling he feels like brown might be a more appropriate color and that he would be brown if he was training somewhere that could promote him. So if purple is no longer appropriate, and brown is not appropriate, his solution is to remember it doesn't matter what color your belt is, and he demonstrates this by putting on white.

Pretty cool if you ask me.
