Getting into the 10P system - MMA Gym Norway
Hi!
My name is Thomas Formo. I own a MMA in Norway. Right now it's one of the top 3 MMA Gyms in Norway with 400-500 members. In all my years i've been focusing only on my MMA career. In 2011 I even got a tweet from Eddie Bravo him self on one of my fights:

My question is following:
We never had any focus on (BJJ)belts at my gym. The focus has only been on MMA, and the focus will continue to be MMA. But now that im done fighting, I have also started a BJJ club inside of the MMA Club. We have a guy from Gracie Bara that comes over and does promotions on BJJ GI belts. We've just started with this. But I would like the option to get promoted in NOGI/10P as well, and that's when I think of the 10th planet system.
From before im a purple belt under the Norwegian ADCC winner, and ex Pride and UFC fighter John Olav Einemo. I got the belt without any GI experience at all. This is about 4-5 years ago now.
How do I move forward if I want to be a part of the 10th planet system? I would like for the NOGI guys at my gym to be able to do rank promotions. So that they have something to work for and look forward too. Something that will keep them going.
Hoping for a positive answer.
