I find that anytime that I mention that I train 10th planet, that I get a very dismissive attitude. traditional bjj guys will always argue that eddie didnt reinvent juijitsu and that every thing he does comes from his bjj training. And then the Royler argument is always the same that eddie couldnt do it again if he tried. that his win was a fluke and that he used a traditional triangle choke, not 10th planet. I have been in martial arts for a long time and I have not been this excited to be involved with one as much as this one. the simplistic approach to teaching and openness to learning from others is what attracts me to this style above traditional bjj. Not discounting traditional bjj, but rather choosing to take the road less traveled. And as the system grows, options and opportunities will arise for everyone to make that same choice. I'm fortunate enough to have a couple of schools within reach that I can drive a couple of times a month to get my school training in, and at my school, I teach the basics and drill them like crazy. And until a school opens near every one else, just keep drilling and try to get to the seminars as close to you as possible, for any chance to train with instructors will greatly enlighten you and dispel the myths about the ineffectiveness of 10th planet.
