Fighter Factory is an awesome place to train. I have been with John since March last year and I am happy to say that he has been an awesome trainer. He doesn't teach too fast. We drill maybe 3 techniques for a week or so or until he is happy with our progress. He supports us by braking down the moves and only allows us to do moves safely. There are no ego's in our gym. Everyone is very humble at our gym and no one person is ever out to prove anything by hurting or elevating themselves at someone else's expense.

When I rolled with the person that has started this hate towards us I asked him how long he had been training for. he told me " 5 years" as well as that apparently he teaches striking at a local fitness gym here in Hamilton, New Zealand.

When we were drilling the moves he continued to tell me what to do and he actually gave me some good advice. " I honestly thought he was awesome based on the advice he gave me". This guy is 23 years old and is definitely in the 100kg club. he is not small. When I rolled with him I too like another guy in our gym who is 17 years old and must be around 50 - 60 kgs managed to get his back and allow us to choke him out. He didn't once defend EFFECTIVELY. He tried to use strength over technique. As far as tapping 10x is concerned, firstly I didn't feel his tap, secondly his hands were free so it wasn't like he could tap hard or slap my arms. I did not try to hurt this guy. I was not trying to make him look like an idiot. I think sometimes when you go to a new gym and people ask you if you have any experience they can sometimes feel intimidated and feel the need to over talk themselves leaving others with false information about their actual skill.

This guy has serious issues with delussions of grandure. And the fact that he has gone this far to post this up on 10th Planet speaks volumes about this guy. I am embarrassed for John who has worked his ass off to build his gym in Hamilton. John has dedicated his time to his students and does nothing but give.

Please don't judge us if you don't know us.

The OP is right. I mean what can I say just look at his YouTube channel, you'll see how legit he is:

<h4>But seriously, that's some cold hard bullshit this mother fucker is spitting about 10th Planet Hamilton, just ask Eddie himself if you need more proof.
After training at 3 other gyms in Hamilton I can safely this one has their shit together when it comes to no-gi.</h4>

Man I can't believe I just watched all of that. It's obvious that what he needs is a mcdojo,what he wants to do is beat people with no skills and get belts while doing it. Jiu jitsu is not for him plain and simple.
