Is Frank "The Man" James good or bad for 10th Planet??

[Eddie Bravo]

Read the entire "Next 10th Planet Brown Belts" thread and let's take a vote. He's calling alot of nibiru forum members clowns and ass kissers, it's not sitting right with me.

Good or bad for the 10th Planet mission?

[Ry Woolford]

"The man" es no bueno.

[Karim Graham]

never heard of the guy :/ guess ill get reading on that thread then come back. sounds like a dick already though

[John P]

ooo what a tangled web we weave or something like that haha

[Jeff V]

Bad. Since day one he has rattled off some of the most absurd nonsense on this forum. I would never want myself or any of the others who try to rep the 10th Planet system to be associated with this guy.

My position: not good for 10th planet.

Not making a lot of logical sense on that thread and talking shit to JC, someone as legit 10th Planet as they come, is out of line. At least when I argue, I'm talking about jiu jitsu.

In my view, combine that with previous incidents that he hasn't learned from obviously (http://www.10thplanetjj.com/threads/...rogance-legacy) and a certain level of disrespect to you and Epsto makes me wonder why this guy doesn't just go away and train quietly, and let belts go to those whenever it happens.

Not good for 10th Planet

Prime example of a keyboard warrior.

[Scott Yockel]

I agree.....gotta say not good. To me 10th Planet is about making things happen for yourself and not making reason why you can't. People should be getting reps on the mat not the keyboard.

I think it is ok to have your own opinion, however someone who has been in the martial arts as long as he says he has should have a lot more respect for the higher belt ranks, especially the black belts. I know Einstein can be a little rough around the edges, but he is still a black belt and one of the pioneers of 10th planet and should be treated accordingly.

Heres my spin on it all
i've been a member of this "family" for a little while now and look at all of the 10th planet members as my peers and mentors and friends i am blown away buy the general feeling of goodwill and openess by many of the instructors, students,and of course eddie and i remeber i asked a instructor about why every body was jumping on this guy and giving him a verbal beat down and the answer was very simple "the guy is disrepecting the system and the people that have bled broken bones and taken huge amounts of shit in following a mans vision to make juijitsu better and bring it back to the front of mma " and that struck a massive cord with me and why i connect my self so much to this idea is that when we walk in to a comp,a school,a cage we as a "family " are the underdogs the outsiders and slowley and surely we are gaining ground and respect as martial artists /fighters and thats amazing i train at a gracie barra school and on the coffee table at the front of the gym theres a copy of mastering the twister on my first class there did i roll in decked up fully in 10th planet gear no could i have yes but i chose to show my school the respect i knew it deserved and got a gi and went down and learnt there ways to add to "our ways " and from that i will grow from a white belt to a blue and so on now on frank the man james as a man that has had 25 years of martial arts experiance i expected more 1 black belt 2 browns and a purple = alot of time getting your arse handed to you buy guys better then you reguardless of what style you practice if your in debt so what i've got a morgage and i'm 300,000 in debt but i can still save my money make a trip to melb's to train with frank and then come back and save to go to la and go to hq shit i might even buy my girlfriend a ring get engaged at legends and get married at the whiskey i dont know but what i do know is if you fuck with one of us you fuck with all of us jay"jc" chow is a blue belt and i give him nothing but respect sure i might pull the piss out of him from time to time about his football team and call him kidda alot but as a fellow 10th planet jj student i give him nothing but respect same as john frank compella zog e=mc2 rhassan nelson steve @melee and anybody else thats ive added on facebook or has added me these people are my friends peers teachers and my sources of knowledge they deserve my respect as they should recieve it and if you dont wanna show it to them back your bags and theres the door
