I've been doing 10P for a minuet but there's no 10P school around here. what all do I need to know to test for a Blue? please don't hate.

Contact an affiliate that is relatively close to you and take a road trip and ask them to evaluate you.

Zac are you in Illinois according to your avatar? I guess (without looking at an updated map) Chicago moon would be the closest to you perhaps?

There used to be an option to test via comp videos and demo videos of the moves you know from the system, but to date I think only a handful of folks even submitted a complete video compilation of everything, and only 1 maybe 2 max actually got approved, and since then I haven't heard if they (or the one guy who did pass via video) is still training the system or at all.

For what it's worth, any moon (or even hotbox) you can get out to is worth it, and if you're serious about the system I would highly recommend visiting a moon once a month or as often as you can (and you need to visit HQ at some point too and immerse yourself into the system, trust me it's worth it I was out there in Aug and I already can't wait for the next time I'll be able to go by).

[Zac Wilson]

right on. I didn't know if 10P done walk-in evaluations/promotions or if you have to be a student of that school and go through their curriculum. closest one I got is 5 hours away in Chicago.

[Zac Wilson]

Herb Chao- Yes. I was training gracie system before. went half way through the blue belt testing and switched to 10P. love it! now that's all we roll is 10P. I'm hooked. I'm going to NAGA Chicago in April. I might try to hit up 10P Chicago while I'm there.

I'm in the same situation but I'm active duty military how long would it take to do a drop in and get evaluated ?

[Chris Herzog]

All depends on the instructor. I don't do drop in evals, and won't promote anyone I don't know, on the first time meeting someone.

[drew files]

Gotcha appreciate it mr. Herzog . I'll have to get with Portland moon

[Zac Wilson]

Yeah, I see your point in that. I wouldn't want to promote someone on a first time meet either. You'd need to see them roll live a few times to see what they know. I did find a 10P 2.5 hrs from me though. So I don't have to drive 5 hrs to Chicago.

[Mack Elwood]

O'fallon, IL is probably a lot closer than Chicago. Both are great places to train.

Edit: looks like you beat me to it.
