I was super hesitant to vote, because i was under the impression that you couldnt vote for your own team. Maybe that was just to nominate, but it was made very clear that you couldnt vote for your own team. The only reason i support this, is it forces people to be honest and unbiased. The way the poll is set up now, it seems to just be out to prove who has the most students online. Which is cool and all, but we should change it to "got the most students to sign up for 10thplanetjj.com this year Moon." This is an noteworthy accomplishment just the same, But when I hear "MOON of THE YEAR" i think of tournament prescense, i think of the impact that this moon has on its town, its state, its region, and the globe. I remember a year or so ago eddie was talking about what it takes to take your gym to the next level, a few things i remember, 1 get your guys competeing and winning. 2 get some wrestling in your gym. 3 get weights and some strength training. 4 get as much info from the source's as you can.

1 Lets tally medals for the year, no doubt were in the top. 2 braught a world class wrestling coach into the mix. 3 we now have STATE OF THE ART gear to train with, if its makin diffrences in the top level players games, we have one, if not three. 4. weve mentioned before Glover, Caio Terra, Eddie Bravo, Sean Beezy, Gokor, and the list goes on and on. Im preaching to the choir at this point. When it comes it impacts made tho, not a tournament in the midwest goes on without 10thplanet Springfield showin up deep. We have asserted ourselves as the best equipped (tools and Coaches) gym in the midwest. As for our impact on the community, as far as i know were the only one who gave every seminar this year, for FREE. There was two seminars that required you to donate toys, that we then donated to children with cancer, im not positive, but what other gyms engage in things like that in their community.

We can see from your videos that you guys have a beautiful gym and a great female kickboxing instructor. Can we see some footage of your Jiu Jitsu Team in action?

Great job to Montreal and all the other moons who are setting the standard and leading the way. It really inspires me to push our team. So thanks guys. Just remember don't get lazy cuz Yuma's nipping at your heals. We had Eddie out for the first time and posted dozens of jj and pro mma wins this year. I'm very proud of what the other moons have done because we're all one family, but I'm ever more proud of our crew here. Let's set the bar even higher this year. WARRRR!!

Valid question Mr Ho. This Fall we brought a photographer/videographer into the mix. He takes amazing photos, and shoots some awsome vids. Unfortunatley untill august, the vids were my responsability. Now I like to think im a smart guy, but Im in no way a techie who can throw together footage fast. Im a carpenter by trade, my collar is blue. See i also compete, and as ive been taken it more and more serious, i have not been unable to put as much effort into videos. We have so many people competing at tournaments our senior members try to step in and coach matches, when there is more than one student rolling, as im sure other gyms have experienced. (NAGA and Grapplers quest is spread out over several mats.) I personally could care less about a camera if one of our guys needs my support. I have been extremely busy in my bussiness life this last year, also competeing myself. Which is why i have slacked off on jits vids so bad. We do have some footage, but its been on the back burner due to the flux of fights on our mma team. MMA promotional videos are a necessitie to get dudes fights, so they get priority. Since our shooter has only been here since august most of his energy has been on those. Dont worry tho im going to put some of our shiz up here later when I have more time. i will try to get that too yahll asap. I dont think it will effect the vote tho, that ends tommaro. But rest assured in the futre we will try and put up all kinds of videos. In the mean time im off to the gym, i will take a picture of our 2011 medals, belts and swords to help ease yahll minds.

Nice, but you should put up some vids of some your adults competing, as well.
