Official 10th Planet Hotbox Criteria, Rules, and Current Locations

[Chris Herzog]

Aloha everyone,

I've been following the system for a while now hoping for an affiliate school or hotbox to pop up here in Hawaii. Not sure why it hasn't yet, but I've made the decision that I'd like to take a shot at getting something started. That being said, I have a couple of questions that cover a few different topics but all relate to achieving hotbox/moon status.

1) "The leader of the hotbox must be sponsored by a 10th Planet Affiliate instructor." Who would most likely be the affiliate instructor for me on Oahu?

2) As for the 10 comp wins, is it appropriate for me to wear 10p gear, or throw up the 10p gang sign in competition if I don't currently train at a 10p school? I've been training and competing in MMA for about a year now, and have competed in a few jiu jitsu tournaments and I feel like I've wasted a few win vids cause I wasn't sure if it was cool to throw up that 10. Haha.

3) Is there a rank requirement to lead a hotbox? I've searched through the forum and I've read that it is possible to get promoted online, and being that I live in the middle of the ocean, would this be a viable option for me? I realize that this is the least preferred method, and I understand, and fully agree that it would be best to train with an affiliate instructor, but flying to the mainland to do so isn't something I can afford to do regularly.

4) I understand that hotboxes cannot charge for 10th planet classes. Does this rule extend to Gi or "traditional" NoGi? For example, if I worked at a gym that offered and charged for Gi and NoGi classes, would it still be ok to do a seperate, 10th planet class for free?

I've wanted to train 10th planet since I first watched a Submissions101 video on YouTube back in 2007 and Eddie was analyzing submissions in the UFC before there was ever a "Gracie Breakdown". For now, Ill just try to stay current with the system by watching Eddies instructionals, MTS videos, and technique variations on YouTube and Instagram, then practicing them on friends.

Thanks in advanced for any input, suggestions, and advice!

1)You choose a moon head, and go train with them or bring them out to you.

2)Thats the point, You have to wear it to do it.

3)You have to train with your sponsor instructor in person once a year anyway, its best to get ranked by them.

4)Gi Glasses are ok, no-gi are not.

5) Stop bumping, I'll get to the questions.

Welcome 10th Planet Perth Hotbox!

Thank you for taking the time to assess me Zog I know you are one busy dude :-)
It is truly an incredible honour to be given this privileged and having the responsibility of representing 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu here in Western Australia.
Thank you Sensei Frank Barca for EVERYTHING I don't need to go into detail.
Master Eddie Bravo thank you for 10th Planet, tapping Rolyer, the system, the culture, the people it attracts and the people it turns away. You have created more than a style of martial arts it is a movement of open minded learning and development fusioned with great friends, good music and a lot of laughs.
I look forward to the future and continuing to progress both on and off the mats.
Ossu

After discussions with Eddie and some of the other 10p generals we've come to the decision to disolve the 10th Planet Hotbox program. We believe the program to have been a success and we agree its fulfilled its original intent, to help spread the system to areas where the system was once unattainable. With over 60 affiliates world wide 10th Planet Jiu Jistu is now more accessable that its ever been and it continues to grow and strive. Its our hope that the current group of hotboxes will contact Eddie (eddie@10thplanetjj.com) and start the process of becoming an offical 10th Planet Moon. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing some new moon heads develop!

I feel like the 10th Planet Hotbox system helped me get to where I am. Thank you Zog for the time you invested in this project.

Barncat, you were a great case of someone who wanted it bad enough and was willing to put the work in for it no matter how difficult. You used the hotbox program to catapult into a successful moon, thanks for leading by example!

also for a 10p Moon / Affiliates what are the conditions ?
