Guys,
I see a lot of posts on here about Renato Laranga and many of them are pretty disrespectful. Some of you have basically claimed that it is all joke and he's not real etc. - IF ONLY THAT WERE TRUE. Come to headquarters and you will see.
I don't agree with Renato (or anyone) interrupting class because to me, that's disrespecting Eddie and a few guys and I have talked to him about it because a week ago things got out of hand. But likewise, he is entitled to all of his opinions on the gi and its value and I think having an open mind is one of the main unique points about 10th planet.
Renato has been training at 10th planet in Hollywood and he is a Brazilian black belt. You don't see film on the days where he is just a great training partner to have and he is just there to train. What you've seen is video on a couple of incidents with Eddie but everyone is trying to work it out and train in a friendly environment. It doesn't help when on these forums so many of you are making fun of him or how he carries himself. I think we should try to have a team that tries to adapt itself and enfold people with different views rather than reject them outright - despite the flareups we've had at HQ, I think we are all trying to show mutual respect, Renato included, and I am happy to welcome any and all blackbelts who want to come and train with us.
