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

[carlo.meister]

Look forward to catching up at the comp this weekend!

On another random side note, it's clear Fighter Factory is having a positive effect on the local Jiu Jitsu scene... who could have ever thought Eddie Bravo would come to Hamilton, NZ?!?

[Enrique "Kiko"]

Maybe he should have. My gym is known to be an unsafe and unstructured environment to train with all those savages! I'd wear a Full Body Kevlar Tank Shell Resistant Suit for sure!!

Fixed! =D



Don't worry John, I don't think anyone here thinks any less of you because of one disgruntled student's/prospective student's opinion. Unless there's a highly disproportionate percentage of legitimately disgruntled students, benefit of the doubt should go with the teacher/owner/instructor in my opinion. I'd roll with you brother.

T-t-t-ttoday JUNIOR!!!! This guys still outta breath from rolling.

John you sound like a boss and it appears that you handle your shit like one too. If you weren't on the other fuckin' side of the world I would train with you. I still might... one day.

When it comes to the webz, one should always be suspicious. Especially on first posters. My thoughts when I read op's post were: two techs a class sounds about right, how does he know these guys are random?, who sits out 10 minutes from a 'puffy eye'? and does anything remotely 10th planet mean, RubberGuard?.

agreed, some times we just learn the base. the base is with da gi, we go over the fundaementaals.

also this dude reminds me of good old tommy a bit.

Andrew. I think you are probably still reading this thread. I am speaking directly to you. Please take this criticism as constructive.

You are what is known as a "pussy". I am not trying to emasculate or degrade you by any means. I am using this term under its most literal function by its abstract definition. I came to this conclusion when you repeatedly questioned the structure and ones ability to learn under said conditions. You have never truly trained and when you were first introduced to real training you tattled on the nets like a "pussy". Go back to the gym, shut up, and train. That is how those that are better than you got there. Good luck man.

Don't forget there are at least two sides to any story and seldom more than one is heard. John is a great guy and I'm quite sure this was mostly a case of this guy not liking the style of training that is used by 10th Planet as this lesson plan sounds about standard. Also after watching his video about this training day he complains about free rolling with all levels of belts, and how it seems too hard for him. He seems to me to be complaining about the jits style in general. Just watch the video and you'll see that I don't think he gets what jiu jitsu is all about.

I do sympathize with this guy somewhat in that he clearly hasn't had the ways Jiu Jitsu explained to him very well and he seems scared and hurt by his experience. Plus jits isn't easy for us all and I feel his frustration. But that isn't anyones fault but his own. If he wanted to he could have told people to go easy and I'm sure they would have. Maybe someone just needs to sit down with him and explain how shit works.

Keep in mind this is coming from me, a guy who has had questions about 10th Planet structure in the past and is generally jits tarded and even I think this guy is being a wanker.

Seriously people lets be more careful how we react to these things, check it out first and then decide.
