Love this guy…
As the first annual comes to an end I reflect…
I’ve trained all over the world, gotten to know the jiu-jitsu industry very well (almost….TOO well), and when push comes to shove, they don’t make them like anymore.
Loyalty is earned, it isn’t given.
I’ve seen countless acts of goodwill behind the scenes that he’s done, helping his students out, providing opportunities, way too much to mention.
There’s no one I know who makes me laugh harder, or who I like playing music with more.
People have this false image of what 10th planet is, what I have found in my time there are people who let me be unapologetically myself.
I never needed to win this guy’s favor, he never told me I “OWE HIM” anything, from the day I walked in, he just saw the good in me as he does all his students and was encouraging, even when others weren’t.
Always there if I need to jump on a call for Jiu Jitsu , personal stuff, music stuff, you name it.
Not just my professor, but my friend.
For all this talk about false flags, fallouts, teams breaking up and industry upheaval, loud and proud I am loyal to this man and the 10th planet organization. They’re going 20 years strong and only growing. Low turnover. Why is that? What is it about this organization that sets it apart from others?
This organization has taken care of me wherever I am in the world, and they don’t ask for anything in return. Truly a one love community.
I’ve never had to act like someone I’m not here.
Being our authentic self is all we could ask for in this life. A lot of people walk through life and never get to that point.
I’ll always have your back, Eddie. You know I love you dawg.
