Hey guys,
So basically, i joined a new club about 2 months ago after having 8 weeks off injured (and my old school closed down).
Anyway, my bjj coach is a traditional Brazilian guy named Valmyr Neto(was awarded his black belt back in 2005 by Walter Brocca, and our team VNteam has just linked up with checkmat), he is really really cool guy, a real good dude, a fucking beast on the mats, but i knew from what the other students told me he wasn't exactly a huge fan of Eddie and the 10p system. However, i decided to NOT treat my love for all things 10th planet as a dirty little secret, and have been totally honest about it with him the whole time. May not work out for everybody else, but it is how i wanted to do things, i didn't want anyone to be questioning my loyalties and all that shit.
So since i got back from Eddies seminar Sweden he has been asking me a few things, about how the seminar went etc etc. Then today we are chatting and he says to me in his brilliant Brazilian accent 'Do you have any 10th planet t-shirts, i would really like one so i can wear it', then he starts saying about Eddie seems cool, his desire to have Eddie in for a seminar if Eddie comes to England again etc, i was fucking blown away, and i think so were a few of the other students. At the same time, i was thinking how fucking lucky i am to have a coach as open minded as i do. It's awesome.
I am going to personally buy him a 10th planet t-shirt once Eddie has the shop figured out.
Just thought i would share that with you as it was a pretty cool moment in my day.
