Moving up in rank

As an example how will Chris Herzog ever become a black belt when he trains in New York, and Eddie in California? Same as with everybody else not within daily driving distance of Eddie?

As to how to get promoted: there are several routes. That's been posted on several threads before. The search tool above will help you find what you're looking for.

I wouldn't worry about Coach Herzog or the other instructors. Eddie knows his instructors. They stay in touch regularly and Eddie can see Coach's teaching ability in the progress of his students, his instructional vids, and at seminars. Coach has a closet full of black belts; the 10th Planet one -- like all 10th Planet belts -- will come when it's time. I don't ask what coach wants to see from me for promotion. He told me what I need to work on so that's what I'm doing. I think you can have faith that Eddie has things well in hand and has done/will do the same with the teachers he is guiding.

no no no no no im not asking how white belts like me and u get promoted xD im saying how did chris get a brown belt from eddie if they live across the country? and how will he ever get a black belt if he never trains with him?

Most people that get belted don't train on the regular with the person that belts them.

I think Jason told you to look it up. Its been talked about several times! Eddie has talked about it several times! Do your homework and look it up!

where?

as eddie said you can send in comp vids or go to hq & roll. either way, it's better to not be concerned with belts, just build your own jiujitsu & don't burn out

He did train with him. Coach has been to HQ and a ton of seminars. He also is a 4th dan in Judo and is a Sambo instructor. The combination of that grappling pedigree, demonstration of knowledge of the 10th Planet system, and the ability to teach effectively as demonstrated by his students' progress and instructional videos are how he got promoted. He'll get a black belt the same way when it's time. I was there when Eddie handed him that brown shirt. Eddie knows his instructors and students. Don't think for a minute he's not paying attention.
