Best 10th planet location for tourists

[Johnnie McIntyre]

I'm thinking about heading over to the states for some training and could use some advice!
What would be the best location in your opinion in terms of the following:

Quality of instruction
Most amount of classes available
Ease of travel from the nearest airport to the town/city
Low cost and availability accommodation near to academy
Places to eat, public transport etc..

I would be flying from Glasgow, probably via London depending on the City and although I am willing to spend several weeks training, I don't have money to burn like most of us..I have a family and bills to pay but have some redundancy money and am willing to invest but would like the best results for the money spent

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!!!

Rochester ny is pretty decent.

Rochester was first to come to my mind as well simply because of Herzogs alluring mutil-discipline grappling knowledge. My instructor, Nick Kukuruza, (not 10P) said for highly technical and well broken down instruction, Denny Prokopos (SanFrancisco) would be a great pick. Any areas your looking to improve specifically? Also I haven't done much flying but it maybe much cheaper to stick the east coast?

Might be worth considering that in southern cali or in the bay area you would be able to visit multiple schools and not just 10Planet or even BJJ

Thanks guys...Aaron its purely 10th planet I want..I am basically thinking of shedding the gi and focusing on 10th pjj so it like a conversion. Even though I am a Purple with the gi I have no experience in No Gi. I rolled no gi recently at a sister gym to mine and tbh... I had my arse handed to me which made me question the last 3 years of training!!!

If your a purple in the gi you should change your rank here on the forum. If your a BJJ purple belt that carries over to the 10th planet system. I say if all you wanna focus on is 10th planet go to california and learn from Eddie himself. If not Go to NY to 10th Planet Rochester. if not NY go to 10th Planet Phoenix in Arizona. Any knowledge gained from Master Eddie, Master Zog, Or Master Botello is priceless!!!!!

Thanks Trez....I don't get what you mean with changing my rank on the forum bro? Anyway..thanks for the advice...I have been looking at flights/accommodation...flights are basically good for all locations above but for hotels LA looks better in terms of price and variety! I'm going to look at hostels tonight so if anybody knows of a 10th planet gym with a hostel near by please let me know

Your rank here on the forum is the belt color under your name













<----------------------------- I got my blue from eddie so I changed it to blue. Yours is white so if your a purple you can change it to purple

[Johnnie McIntyre]

Ahhh..I get you! When I first joined the forum I had my Purple belt up and my team name but thought I should change it to white!!! Cool mate..I will change it now!!!

Come to Montreal. We are a hub of Jiu Jitsu and MMA. No hick town here. In this city, there's BTT HQ, and Tristar, and a lot more. Plus we have a crazy night life, if you're into that.

[Johnnie McIntyre]

Hahaha...thanks Louis....I do have family in Vancouver Island so that could be an option? Really just looking for training as much 10th pjj so won't be visiting the night life unfortunately. Another time bro
