10th Planet ADCC West Coast Trials 2009
Big shouts out to everybody that competed or came out to support this past weekend at the ADCC 2009 west coast trials. There were tons of us out representing that day. Riverside, Burbank, Hollywood HQ, all our friends and families came out to root us on as we competed. I was proud to be a part of such an amazing group of people. There was a real sense of comradery between us. Everybody it put it on the line and gave everything they had during the competition. After months of training, injuries, dieting, weight cutting etc it all came down to this day. In the end, win or lose, it’s my belief that we did a fantastic job coming together as a team. My hat is off to everyone, big props all around!
For me, this was an especially important event. This was my first ever, real competition. Thank you to my coaches, Eddie Bravo, Brent Littell, Shigeki Matsuda, Edwin Co, Scott Epstein, Jason Juatco (sorry if I forgot anybody). Thank You to all my training partners in Hollywood and Burbank that helped me get ready for the event. Win or lose, it was all about stepping outside of my comfort zone to challenge myself and test my skills. I learned so much this time around and look forward to competing again in the very near future.
10th Planet, all day!!!
All Day!
Now wheres my smoothie!
All day!
Now where are my groupies?

Any results to report.
results? Alder got gold. and got it with a twister. no big deal. lol
It cannot be overstated that Alder went into his first competition (where most people freak the fuck out) and Twister’ed some fool in the advanced division. HE TOLD YOU HE WAS HARDCORE!
BEACH MUSCLES ALL DAY.
Nice
Please post a video since i was in the backroom drilling with Mookie (and getting kneed in the face) and i missed the twister action.
congrats
CONGRATS!!!! My boys and I will be attending the ADCC East Coast Trials june 13th!!!

Also let’s not forget-
Steve, Dustin, Sean, John, Edwin, Nate and myself all competed (Edwin got Gold, I got Silver and I think maybe Steve and Dustin placed too) and thanks to Mr. Orange for coaching me:)
for sure you will be his first black belt.
you inspire me to get off my fat ass and train.
^ For sure! Coach Alder for black belt!!!
good job!
Was Denny competing? How did he do?
denny did not compete
Congrats Alder! What weight class are you competing in?
You better win the East Coast, Quick!
And WTF, I thought Denny was going to compete. What happened?
Thanks gang! Hopefully vids are on the way. There were at least 3 cameras on the match that I know of.
No way will I be the first black belt… unless of course everybody else dies in a horrible alien invasion and some how I’m the only 10th planet member to survive (probably due to me siding with the attackers)
FUCKING AWESOME. Congrats, coach!
Fuuuuuuck!
I’m after Brent…….
The vid is up on my facebook right now. As soon as I get and embedded link, I’ll post it here on the watch.
