Best way to handle people who give us a bad name?

[Chris Herzog]

Apart of the forum, yes. System hopefully soon.

Jack you know you always have a home at 10th Planet Rochester.

best way to handle these people...make fun of them about training in a japanese super hero costume, then say it's not for you because "I'M AMERICAN"

I train in that Japanese super hero costume part time, and I like it.

I've rarely seen 10th Planet practitioners that actually train at HQ, an affiliate or an official Hotbox be disrespectful when supporting 10th Planet. Those that do act a fool will not be representing the system for long. Do not represent us in a negative light, as we will not have your back, that’s not how 10 do.

Jack hit the nail on the head, it’s ok to defend the system just do so respectfully, and do so with facts "Eddie Bravo steals moves, changes the name and claims he invented them". Just let them know that Eddie always gives credit to where its due, they would see that if they actually read his books, invite them to the forum to check out the awesome community here.
If you see someone "defending" the system by acting like an ass, let Eddie or one of the affiliate instructors know so we can do damage control. Or give a respectful counter post, stating that’s not how we like to represent the system.

Sometimes fanboys get the idea they are an actual representatives of the system. It’s the same with professional sports. How many times have you heard arm chair quaterbacks say "We're going all the way to the Superbowl", "We should be running the ball more", etc. It’s just part of the game, we'll smooth it out as we go along, don't let it heat you up and respond with something foolish and impulsive out of anger.

Well said and I fully agree.

lets not do that.

Yes, because people especially in the US of A would seem to be very ignorant. There is more people than Americans in this...
