3) Train at a 10th Planet gym or 10th Planet seminar every opportunity you can.
Don't
1) Don't let distance be an excuse. If there is a will there is a way. Pool your resources. Hell, the very first training camp in Missouri, there were people sleeping in tents out back of the gym in the winter the whole weekend.
2) Don't train at a gym that doesnt allow you to use rubber guard, lockdown or other 10th Planet known specific technics. That is close minded and in the jiu jitsu world, you will fall behind. You might even add leglocks to that list. If you arent learning all leglocks as a whitebelt, nowadays, you will fall behind. Just another reason why 10P gyms are growing, Eddie is very open and always evolving.
3) Never stop seeking knowledge. As a whitebelt, you should be looking at the technic from the "macro" perspective and become proficient at the technic you are studying. As you, progress in experience and rank, you will begin to look the technic from the "micro" perspective and point out the smallest details to perfect that technic. If anyone ever tells you they know everything there is to know about jiu jitsu, do an about face, walk out the door, do not pass go, and don't look back. lol
