    i'm legally blind as well, off n on training for 7 years.

    with all the naming of movements in the 10th planet system it makes it easier to put said movement to memory

    I'm going to bump this, not cuz I wanna change my name, but cuz I know people ARE interested if there's an answer. Ladies and gentlemen, are there ANY KNOWN WAYS in existence to change your name on here?

    I dunno about the name change but I think it's awesome that blind athletes are here repping!! Another benefit to having names that I wouldn't have considered.
    I started training in 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in 2006 after serving 4 years in the USAF.
    I became a professional MMA fighter in 2009 and got my blackbelt from Eddie in January of 2016.

    Wow. Jiu Jitsu continues to impress me. Blind, deaf, missing limbs. Jiu Jitsu doesn't seem to care. It says something about the art that it is so accessible to all humans. It's so fundamental.

    I personally find myself closing my eyes often when I roll. It seems to heighten my sensitivity to my body and my opponent's touch. The amount of sensory information coming at me is overwhelming to me. It almost feels like getting rid of some of it helps me.

    I'd be very interested to hear from some blind grapplers about their experiences.

    I just found this, a Ted Talk by Russell Redenbaugh.

    As far as I know, the only way is to contact the webmaster: webmaster@10thplanetjj.com

    Thread turned into something else. Pretty cool.

    You wanna contact the site admin. I forget who exactly. I know Herzog has mod capabilities, but I'm not sure if he can change names.
