So Eddie is stealing from the person who first did the wrestler's guillotine?
Anybody that teaches BJJ outside of a Gracie school is stealing from them?

Bullshit.
Sharing each other's ideas is how we advance as a race. It's part of nature. Martial Arts is no exception. The more people using and spreading 10th Planet, the better it is for all of us. You either want 10P to eventually become accepted as a staple of Jiu Jitsu, or you want to keep it in the lockdown. You can't have it both ways.
"See, I put my leg right here and turn my body this way. It's my move!" -- I've got no respect for greedy, short-sighted people who think this way. I, for one, would be honored to see someone teaching a move I discovered. You can't own body positions or ideas. They belong to every human being capable of using them.
