Seriously. If a tech works, I'll take it from an Eddie hater. If a 10th tech doesn't work for me, I won't use it. When it comes down to it, it's not so much the art, but the practitioner and the coaches who make the difference.
I respect Royce the way I respect some old folks in my life. Sometimes they'll drop gems (this BJJ is not what my father created it for), sometimes they'll say closed minded stupid age biased stuff (giving moves names and inventing moves is stupid). I don't hate Royce. I'm not mad at his ignorance. I just chalk it up to that...ignorance.
Is it annoying that people bash the system I chose to dedicate myself to? Of course. But as it's been said, I'd rather let my work to the talking. In the mean time, when i see tourney vids where we win, I feel like I'm winning with them. And when we lose, I'm asking questions to see what WE can do better.
10th planet is a great system. The best for myself. But as the game evolves, so does 10th planet. So we're growing with the rest of the sport. Part of growing is growing pains. And like I've said before, one day, 10th planet's greatness will be undeniable.
