10th Planet Watch – 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Van Nuys Blog

Here’s my new card. I had my good friend Jo-S hook up the graphic design. He’s an art director at a firm that does all the DVD covers and Movie posters. I thought that it was pretty special. What do you guys think?

Here’s the deal… You pay me money, I teach you 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu. Seems like a fair trade to me right? I know what I’m doing, I have experience, I’m talented and I’m fun to hang out with.

Eddie shows off the fundamentals of the armbar at Legends in Hollywood

Happy happy hooray!!! Eddie opened 10th Planet 5 years ago this year. The original location was at The Bomb Squad, on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood California. A fitting location for us considering that area is one of the most popular hang outs for transexual hookers in the world. Ah the good ol’ days. But all good (or creepy) things come to an end. We’re now located at Legends, a premier, state of the art facility located right in the heart of Hollywood. This gym puts anything the Russians could have come up with in Rocky 4, to shame.

Anyways, I think an official 10thpjj 5 year party is in order. Is anybody else down?

All the 10th planet regulars came out to celebrate!

I found this counter on Mixedmartialarts.com, it’s from Straight Blast UK. The biggest beef I have is that when he grabs his leg to begin the counter, he has good posture. If the lockdown is being done correctly, you’ve stretched out your opponent, and taken away their base.

Another problem I can foresee is, when he breaks the lockdown, and tries to come back on top, it doesn’t seem like he can keep good control. This would cause a scramble and at that point it’s anybody’s game. 

I do like the usage of sunglasses however.

 

I might be reaching here, but here it goes. Overeem uses the lockdown to take away Takahashi’s base. By doing so, Valentijn can minimize the damage he sustains. He then waits for the right moment to scramble to his feet.

I’ll dub this technique: “Lockdown To Flying Knee Combination”
