Online promotion

[Daniel Siriphongs]

Well the thing about that is I work all week ontop of having my kids to tend to. Our car isn't dependable I love in Holland,mi which is west michigan, ann arbor is the only 10thplanet school in the whole state which is east Detroit. I've spent 4 years training nogi and don't have a passion for bjj in a gi so I know 10thplanet is where I need to be. Given if I hadn't any kids then yeah i would be there and dedicate a few days to training there.

I hear you. Life has priorities. I have career, businesses, and a wife/kids. Jiu jitsu is a passion for me but I have to be realisitic. I’m not going to mundials. Nor do I expect to get a black belt in a short time. But, I want to be as proficient as I can be, esp in the 10P system. I train at a primarily gi academy and make sure I go to the one no-gi class each week. Whether in the gi or out, just being able to roll helps me workout and get reps in using 10P techniques. The fact that no one there really understands the system (other than to smash the hell out of me) helps too...but as I get better, I have been forcing my training partners to start Youtubing the rubber guard and lockdown, in attempts to stop it. I also have started teaching them how to defend it, so that I’m forced to get sharper. Plus, rolling in the gi gives you extra friction, haha!

Yeah I feel you,just some of us aren't fortunate like others,like i said I have kids to tend to,and that's my first priority,I work 7 days a week so traveling 3 hours is too much,jiujitsu is only a hobby rn becuase it's definetly not paying the bills

Lots of us have kids, ex-wives, child supportch, new wives, work and distance to travel. If it is just a hobby and not paying the bills why care about rank? Personally, I really like being a white belt and only being responsible to show up and give 100% with a positive attitude. Zero expectations other than showing up and trying. Enjoy just learning and the relationships you make along the way. What is online rank going to give you other than an ego boost?

The key to success is making sure your new wife receives more child supportch than you pay in child supportch.

Who said anything about child support,it's an investment for me,becsuse yeah I'd love to train full time as a career and own my own academy. Where are you coming off with talking about ego no one said anything about that

Again, if it is just a hobby and not paying the bills, what exactly does getting an online promotion do for you? If you want to own your own academy and make it a career you better be willing to sacrifice everything, including time or your relationship with your family.

Just saying if you think it is a challenge to travel 3 hours to the closest 10th planet gym and go to every seminar possible with work, life and family commitments, try doing it with an ex-wife and child supportch as well. You have no sympathy from me. Quit whining and get training and travelling.

[adrianfavela]

I have been training,and really I wasn't asking for any your something else kid

[adrianfavela]

Cleary someone is taking it the wrong way,im not asking for a hand out, I'm asking for a curriculum something to study by,so when i do go to a seminar or can make it to a 10thplanet gym ill be accustomed to their drills

[CanaanBrooks]

Brandon mccaghren the instructor at 10th planet decatur put together a website with a killer curriculum

[adrianfavela]

You should come down on a Monday for nogi open mat. We mainly roll, but I don't mind showing a few things, if you have questions.
