Next 10thPlanet Brown Belts

Nelson. I am not exactly sure what to make of this thread. Frank "the man" James however has informed us all that the thread is full of dicks, assholes, ass clowns, and butt puckerers. I am not a hater or anything but, just be aware that if you are one of those Frank has already dropped a dime on you, and will not tolerate any more butt puckering. You have been warned.

This is a classic example of a thread on fire. First rule of thumb: when the house is on fire, just leave the house. Don't go back to grab your shit, just LEAVE! :-)

im not gonna read the whole thread.. but einstein makes a good point. only those who have reached brown belt will actually know what it takes. I never knew what it would take to get a blue, but after compella awarded me with it i kinda get an idea. "kinda" einstein is a good guy, took a class with him along time ago, made a gay joke towards me cause i was buying grappling tights... but he was wearing a "new kids on the block" t-shirt. so i didnt take it the bad way. hehe but he cares about his students or anyone else for that matter. he actually coached me along with compella for my first competition. he didnt have to do and i didnt ask. "einstein doesnt hate white belts"

The moral of this thread is students and practitioners don't suggest/recommend promotions. Especially high ranking promotions. High ranking instructors do. period. Props are fair game and encouraged.

If Eddie doesn't make me a grand master black belt right now....I'm done with this F ing system. If he can't tell my mad skills by the posts I've done, combined with all my youtube video's. Than he doesn't know Sh@!

P.S.
I want him to fly to the east coast and give it to me in person.........at my school.....in front of chicks I know......on one knee...never looking me in the eye.

Wait should I have read this whole thread ??????? I just skimmed, I thought it was some new policy. Just ask for what ever belt you want to be, in a totally dissrespectful way, Eddie would give it to you. My bad !!!!!! I will read more closely next time.

And with that thought, the machine's off to bed. LOL.

Calling people on this thread names dude, that is how you're digging yourself deeper. Calling people clowns and assholes etc...It was one thing to just act stupid but then you start name calling.

And way to back pedal.

just for the record, Ive seen guys call people douchebags, trolls, dicks, etc. on here and nothing been said. but your right, I shouldnt have posted it. just was really aggrevated by all of this that got blown way out of proportion. Sorry for it, and I know it doesnt make it better, but I'm new to forums as this is the only one that I have ever cared to outright join, besides fb, if that counts.

Wow this thread got pretty crazy. I dont see how a thread started to give props to purple belt instructors turned into all this. Personally I think lines were crossed on both ends. Eddie has his guidlines for promotion to a higher set for his system. Noone has the right to suggest him to circumvent his procedures based on word of mouth or hearsay. On the other end I think when Frank gave Eddie that shout out to bring some belts over to the east coast it was merely a vote of confidence towards these purple belts, not as a sign of disrespect to Eddie or his grading system. It seems like he was being cornered for stating his opinions and felt the urge to "fight back". Thats just my two cents

thanks mike, but I think everyone has made up their mind, have kevin call me please, I lost his number and I guess I need to cancel the seminar.

It would appear the other thread, where the guy says you never got a purple belt from Charuto, might look bad.
