Eddie- I was going to thank you for the cd's that you've sent me a while back, but had online trouble logging into myspace. But anyway- thank you. I found it especially cool that you paid for postage for me. You are a multi talented man, I must say
Dunno if I could tap Eddie but those Asian ring girls, now there's something I would tap on a whole different level. Tap into primal instinct, lol. Integrated Pro MMA Warriors Realm - Keep it Real!!! Integrated Academy Home Page
I appreciate your vids and especially your books, but I have a question. Are you telling your affiliates to say they do 10th planet style jiu jitsu. I'm starting to hear it a lot and while the promotion must be great for you, it comes off as misleading to me. There isn't a Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu style, or an Alliance Jiu Jitsu style, so is their a particular reason why your followers insist that 10th planet is a particular style of jiu jitsu, since the thing that really makes BJJ different than other Jiu jitsu styles is the point system, which AFAIK you share. What are your thoughts?
A black belt in PJJ is probably not going to be regarded as a black belt in BJJ by a BJJ instructor because it doesn't signify you know anything with the gi.
I hope you are wrong because it means you are essentially saying 10 planet style is simply a limited version of BJJ.
<strike>limited</strike>focused Some people just don't care about gi techniques and prefer something that is more focused on what they do care about.
If you are referring to the non use of the Gi then YES, 10th Planet JJ is limited. It is however still BJJ however with a twist. It is not just No-Gi BJJ, he has come up with a very unique system to his Jiu Jitsu. It is not so much to separate from the bjj community but rather to define what Eddie does and represents opposed to your regular run of the mill BJJ school.
Eddie, you should market your own 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu strain in LA dispensaries,; that would be TIGHT! Anyway, thanks for your contributions to the sport; you're changing the no-gi game for the better.
