How I felt about my 1st training day at...supposably 10th planet hamilton NZ

[John Alighieri]

lol checked out some of his videos. pretty funny, the dude seems weird too (like mental problems). i hope hes not related to the Ho dynasty. also hes got advertising enabled on his youtube account, maybe hes just posting this shit so we all check out his page to create attention/make a couple cents.

I'm sure now his youtube views went through the roof lol

It's hard to tell guys. sure he's got some "unusual" videos but in real he seems totally normal. I haven't picked up on anything. Who knows

If there is one thing I know for certain I know that 10th Planet attracts a bunch of HOs.

[David Stager]

I'm sorry this guy went and slandered you like that, John, but I don't think it's unreasonable for people to take someone at their word about something like this, especially since we didn't know if it was a legit 10th Planet school or not. Imagine if he were telling the truth and everyone was like, "Oh yeah, well what were you wearing? Sounds like you were asking for it."

But now that the dust has settled, I hope this doesn't negatively affect your school in any way.

Apparently not all Hos are created equally.

I see your point and that's why I want to keep that thread up so my name, my club and mostly my boys don't get affected by his slander.
I've worked pretty hard to create a friendly atmosphere where I can trust my guys to take care for each other and take care of anybody jumping on the mat. We are a tight group that train hard but we do it safely and in a fun environment!
We always spend time with the new guys helping them out if they struggle and if I judge the techniques are a bit too advanced for a brand new dude I get one of my boys to work on something basic.
I believe it helps them to become better at teaching but also understanding the mechanism behind a move since they have to break it down for a total beginner.

In this case Andrew introduced himself has being an MMA instructor with 5 years or so of experience in grappling. I don't run background check on people so I assumed armbars and north/south chokes would be that challenging for him.

Sure most of my guys are experienced and we don't have enough pure beginners to have a "beginners class" but we always manage to bring them up to our level and so far guys like Henry Tang and Kereti made it to this day with no previous experience and train like everybody else.

This guy is a Joke!!!! I went to watch his video and could get about 2:30 min in to it before I had to shut it off. That is how you train. Find a Mc Dojo!!!!

Hate Wagon rolls pretty fast and hard sometimes on the 10th planet forum. Sometimes its parked on your head before all the facts get turned in. I still got some wheel marks on my face..........but most of the time it gets worked out and the wagon moves on.lol

[Eddie Bravo]

That dude was at my seminar, I could never forget him. He was super ultra hardcore 10P, but there is definitely something unique about him. I trust John a million percent, he's about as loyal nibiru warrior as you can get. This Andrew Ho dude talking shit on John is actually super funny to me. Read that review again now knowing that he's operating on some kind of special brain wattage, Dude is on another level if you know what I mean. 10th Planet Hamilton is gonna rock!

Ok

I don't normally chime in on these threads but I should point out something Andrew said in his vlog (8:05). He didn't understand why they drilled armbars and 'regular' stuff. There was no rubber guard or anything "10th Planet". Last time I checked, we are all training JIU JITSU and that means 10th Planet is BASED on it. We would be remiss NOT to train on EVERYTHING jiu jitsu, including 'regular' stuff.

7:16 How do we learn if we get owned by everyone? Holy Toledo...Welcome to Jiu Jitsu. Getting your ass kicked it an ego breaker. It reveals the TRUTH. I remember going to HQ 3 years ago and getting SMASHED by the brown belts. That was amazing. It showed me what I NEEDED to do to get better. I was the best thing for me.

Let's leave it to the master himself to explain it. This SUMS it up.
