Curious I've trained nogi for 4 years,bjj for 7 months,unfortunately for me the closest 10th planet is 3 hours away, is it true Eddie ranks up to purple online and if so what are the requirements.

[Chris Herzog]

If you are considering getting ranked in the system and the nearest 10th Planet is only 3 hours away. You need to set up a time to make it out there and train.

[Bryan Brown]

3 hours? You should be there at least once a month. Geo, Boogey and the freaks used to drive 2-2.5 hrs every Tuesday for years, never heard of anyone getting an online belt here...

I'll third the above; for the level of instruction in the system you'll receive from any moon within 4-5 hours I'd highly recommend and encourage you (or anyone else) to make the trip at least every few months (take a 3-4 day weekend if you need to, I've done that a few times whenever I've visited either Rochester for an East Coast Camp/seminar or to Bethlehem) especially if you have an opportunity to go when there's a seminar. And I speak from experience too when I saw you need to visit HQ at least once at some point in your life, to be there with Eddie and feel the energy is almost like going to a concert or an MMA event, you really can't replicate it in any book, video etc.

Hope that helps....

Well the thing about that is I work all week ontop of having my kids to tend to. Our car isn't dependable I love in Holland,mi which is west michigan, ann arbor is the only 10thplanet school in the whole state which is east Detroit. I've spent 4 years training nogi and don't have a passion for bjj in a gi so I know 10thplanet is where I need to be. Given if I hadn't any kids then yeah i would be there and dedicate a few days to training there.

Hey mate, I know it could be tough or seem like a big mission. But Reach out to Adlai Cleveland at Ann Arbor and at least get in there and give it a go, I am sure a session once a month cant be too crazy and you could always head in on a sat session if the schedule allows it? I traveled about a hour and half 2-3 times a week for a year at one point just to train at a 10p gym.
I cant speak for what the requirements and such are but I am sure who ever is grading you would like to see your knowledge of the system before ranking.

Best of luck mate!

Adlai is a cool guy i met him at my first tourney i competed at,I just added him on Facebook hopefully I can work something out,thanks for helping out bro

Only one i know that has been promoted to purple is one of the guys that edited mastering the system and the rubber guard dvd's.
Meaning he put massive amounts of hours in-to the system.
Me , ive been training in hand to hand fighting of and on for 16 years now. I have not been ranked and the only one i would accept a belt from is master Eddie Bravo. He is about 18 hours away by plane so i got only the forum , podcasts , MTS and DVDs to
get close and understand the master so i do that. In any case what im saying is if you are hungry for a belt color drive for 3 hours once a week for 3 years and maybe something can fall out andyou can open your own school if you lucky and skilled.
But if you just wanna be close to 10p represent it in conversations about flat Earth for example. You can i think just do the aforementioned stuff and feel close to the 10p family. I know im 10p for life i love the system and most of all consider master Eddie a true genius in his music , jj and over all projection of himself in life. Im a bachelor in applied mathematics so i can appreciate getting something very large in dimensions and making it simple and fast to learn.
With that said i knowif you want to be or a part of 10p you should message Slick Rick and let him know that you want to be affiliated so he can put you in the the 10p app database.
Cheers

Traveling is part of the game, especially if rank is super important to you

Yeah it's pretty simple. It's either a priority or not. We can't have it all, unless we choose to do it all.
