Nominees for Moon Of The Year and Nibiru Warrior of The Year

[Matt Young]

Barncat, for winning with knowledge alone and always quick to humbly share his insights.
Omaha, Derek and his crew are great 10p Reps.

[Louis Ho]

For moons, I'll nominate my own moon Montreal. I believe that we have by far the stiffest competition to contend with. Tristar Gym is only a 10 minute drive away. And there are monster Jiu Jitsu teams here in Montreal. I gotta work damn hard to remain relevant. I'll also nominate BETHLEHEM. Zach and Holland are busting their balls and leading their troops to battle every step of the way. I believe they are doing everything right and I see the results.

WOTY: Freak Brothers. Richie and Geo are amazing to watch, and nice dudes. I couldn't possibly nominate one without the other.

MOTY:

10P Yuma. So much talent in such a small town. Yuma has lettuce and jiu jitsu ON LOCK.
10P Vista. Murderers' Row.

[Jesse Bell]

I nominate Montreal as well. And Barncat is easily WOTY.

[Jesse Bell]

Jessamyn Duke will win it multiple times in the future.

[Josh Yelverton]

There are a ton of great contenders for Nibiru warrior of the year, but I'd lean towards Kelvin and Boogeyman.

For moons, I'd have to go with Vista and Gulf Shores.

[Mack Elwood]

Barncat & Jessamyn
Omaha & Richmond
Derek's tournaments are spearheading the push towards sub-only style tournaments in the Midwest and this is very important.

[Brent Smith]

Lots of 10p action this year including Kelvin winning TUF and destroying his first official UFC opponent and then we had Jessamyn Duke becoming the first UFC fighter to double bag and was in the fight of the season in TUF. We had Geo subbing his first 3 opponents in DREAM, 2 by calf cranks from the truck, losing to Bill Cooper in the finals in a fantastic match who is arguably the best American jiu jitsu player right now. Boogey has had an outstanding year in MMA too. Nathan Orchard had another stellar year of competition and Kyra Batara won the blue belt NoGi worlds in dominating fashion and is killin it in MMA as well. Alan Jouban also had some epic MMA fights in AxsTV.

We need 10 nominees for both categories.

I'm gonna start by nominating Brian "barncat" Debes for Nibiru Warrior Of The Year.

Please nominate at least 2 moons, (you can nominate your own moon) and 2 NW's. Thank you!

I'd 2nd Brian Debes. Barncat is tearing it up.
Moon: Vista. If they get it thatll be a special free trip lol

[Pat Campagnola]

Warrior: John Botello and Derek Stewart. John is a no brainer for me. His attitude and willingness to compete is what motivates me to keep going. And I think what Derek is doing with the tournament series is huge for us and the sub only movement.

Moon: Phoenix and Vista.

[Gary Meek]

As for moon, I vote for Omaha. Derek has done a lot with the Midwest Submission Challenge and his guys help make it possible. They have traveled all over bringing sub only to new markets including Chicago, St. Louis and Denver. That entire moon works hard to rep while at tournaments as well as host them. He also has a great kids program so they are building the future of the system!

I'm a little bias when it comes to Omaha, but Amber hit the note on this one. As a moon, Omaha is on point...not just from an instructor level or competitor level, but overall support of the system. Derek is running the MSC all over the midwest and continues to push it further out. Derek couldn't do this without the support of his mooninites; they drive all over the midwest with him to ensure it's success. And anyone that's visited Omaha can attest to the sense of family.

As for Warrior, I'm gonna have to say Barncat...dude is killin it out there and always supporting other 10P events no matter where they are!
