Hey ladies! Kim Ferguson of 10th Planet Burbank here! Let's get a thread going all about ladies in 10th planet!
Lets start with introductions, ranks and where you train...
Dawna Gonzales, white belt, HQ
word ;)
Hello. I'm Heidi McCreery. I'm a white belt and I train with my boyfriend, Josh Smith, in Mobile, AL. :D
hey ladies! wow, that was fast Dawna and I have to steal your quote:).
Do it! Its one of my favorites!
My wife isnt one for forums, but she is definitely part of the family! She has only been training a year but she is vicious! She was wondering, who is the highest ranking 10th Planet female? I told her probably Kim.
Oh sorry,
Analilya Fortin, White Belt, 10th Planet Vista

Hi, I'm Laura. I train in Melbourne, Australia and I'm a white belt. Great idea on the thread Kim, it's so nice to see other ladies training around the globe. So far I'm the only chick @ 10th Planet Melbourne. I love learning the system and think it's great! We've got the Pan Pax coming up which is really exciting, I can't wait to compete.
:)
you read my mind kim!!!! i was just thinking about posting a women's thread too!
"hi, my name is charlene, and i'm a white belt."
if any ladies want to visit 10th planet burbank, Kim rocks! and she's great to roll with and learn from!
I've got mad respect for girls, who stick to doing jiu-jitsu.
we need more ladies in 10th planet....
Hey Kim, I read on your site that you teach womens jiu jitsu for free on Sundays! That is really cool, and a great idea!! Perfect way for women to feel comfortable enough to take a free class!! That is definitely something we will implement at our school!
In my next life, I want to have a girlfriend/wife that loves Jiujitsu, and likes to train........sigh......8-)
I am Kendra Rudd of 10th planet Spokane, white belt. My fiance RW Pegau and I are coming to Burbank and HQ Sep 6th-11th. I don't get a lot of opportunitys to roll with women, so I am excited.
Hey Gabby! Just want to let you know that a bunch of 10th Planet Montreal students are huge fans of yours. We often use you as an example for other girls who join. When your 18 many of us will be asking for your hand in marriage. lol.
I am shellby, I am 15, I am a Blue Belt in 10th Planet & Blue Blet in American Kenpo. I train 7 Days a week in Jiu Jitsu, Muy Thai & Kenpo. Gerald Strebendt (one of eddie's BB) is my instructor at Northwest Training Center in Springfield , OR. If you are ever in the area come by. I am pretty much the only girl in the gym that does JJ so i am always looking for girls to roll with
I had a high ranking blue belt (ready to test for purple) Sara Nakai....who trained at my school (10th Planet DE). sadly, she has moved back to Japan...good luck Sara
My girlfriend's daughter is 13 and trains under John Botello at 10th Planet Phx.
Thanks Char! We still have free ladies classes most Sundays at 11:30. (apparently too early for some-wink-wink) ALL are welcome though:)
Maybe you could post that info, so my wife and I can drive up from San Diego! She would love to get to roll with 10th Planet women!
My name is Karen and I'm a blue belt at 10th Planet Burbank training under Kim and Scott Epstein (and now Jason Eisner!).
The class info? Best to check our website since it has a "live" Google calendar- http://www.10thplanetburbank.com
and at times we cancel ladies class if there is a tournie or other special weekend event.
Basically ladies class is from 11:30- 1pm Sundays. Attendance is off and on so, some weekends we get like 12 others, 2:) but anyone can jump on in, so hope to see you guys there.
Oh and of course all other classes are co-ed.
My mom lived in Vista for many year and I am a SD girl myself, go OB:)
if I ever get to Alabama I'll swing by for a roll for sure:)
Awesome!!! There is a 10th Planet school in Decatur now under Brandon McCaghren. That's a 6 hour drive (i think) from Mobile, but if you can at least make it that far I will do my best to get up there.
oh! hi karen! nice to see you on "board" ha
sigh wish i can be there!!
The more 10th planet women become a driving force in the organization the better we're going to become. Our classes are full but with poor female turnout. We could use any help you can give on modifing/marketing the program to meet your needs. I would also like to see more women posting their adaptations to the system. This is your time ladies show us how it's done.
Hey Kim and Dawna, How many girls and what levels do you usually have at Burbank and HQ. I am really wanting to see where I am at. RW doenst want to compare me to the guys I roll with. I have been Doing 10th planet jj for about a year and a few months. I try to compete but the local tournaments rarely have women, and ones that do are at least 4-6 hr drive and expenisve to go to.
Oh, little side note. I think this forum is pretty kick ass, I am on it everyday maybe even a few times a day. Its really nice to have the comradery. I dig it!
