For those like me who can't train at an official 10th Planet school here's something to help you sleep at night. I remembered something similar on the old forums and emailed Eddie about it and he replied with this info.
For those of you that are interested in a 10th Planet rank and are not
enrolled in an official 10th Planet school, you will need to be a member of
10thplanetjj.com for at least 6 months. No one walks into a new school and
gets ranked right away no matter how good they are, you have to prove your
loyalty. You will then need to post on the Nibiru forum 15 competition wins
on video with the 10th Planet logo on your person in every match(you can
have other school patches too). The final test will be you making a 10
minute video, uncut and unedited of you running thru everything you know 1/2
guard, everything you know rubber guard, everything you know twister and all
the deep hook transitions to spider web. Do not teach to the camera just run
thru all the techs swiftly and call out the names of the positions and moves
as you go thru them. Everything should fit in a 10 minute video that I will
evaluate. I need to see that you have at least 75% of the system down.
Naturally the technique video will be critiqued alot harder for a purple
than a blue, or for a brown than a purple. 10th Planet head instructors that
are non black belts can only rank their students to blue. All Nibiru
warriors that enrolled in official 10th Planet schools that are run by non
black belts that want to get their purple or brown must be first recommended
by their instructor to me and then submit the 10 minute technique video to
me personally. You gotta show me how much you know without looking at notes.
Easy right??
If you don’t have a patch on your shorts then just flash the 10th Planet
gang sign into the camera before or after your match. It’s easy, right hand
pointing down, left hand making an “O” with the thumb on top. That will be
enough for me
