Brandon Quick (outspoken bravo student) challenged in the UG

[stu3ufc]

i like brandons dvds --he's a good teacher

would love to see him fight

[forumnewb]

let me clear up a few misconceptions about 10th planet (i actually train with eddie):

*eddie did not promote brandon to brown belt. some other instructor that brandon trained with prior to joining 10th planet promoted him (i don't know who).

*brandon knows the 10th planet system well, but he is not one of the top students. (i wouldn't even put him in the top 10).

I think this match SHOULD happen, because now Brandon gets to back up all of his talk. He's made a lot of comments down talking the Gi, and now Schreiner is willing to have a match NoGi against Quick while still wearing the gi.

Boller is definitely Eddie's best (IMO), but you don't see him online down talking the Gi, or saying much of anything for that matter. That's why people haven't included him in this mess.

Quick may not be 10thPJJ's best, but I mean damn, he's a brown shirt right??? That *does* mean that he's really solid, right??? People saying that Brandon isn't Eddie's best I think is downplaying the integrity of Eddie's brown shirts (because the purple shirt has already been degraded by Sensei Ari Bolden).

I think he should also. I don't see what the big deal is. If he loses, he still stepped up and took on a black belt. A brown who runs his own school and puts out dvds should be able to show some skills even in defeat. I don't think people are even expecting him to win, just showing up would show some heart on his part.

So what is Brandon's lineage then? Is his brown from the gi or is there some other instructor out there giving out shirts also?

I was under the impression that BQ was a brown shirt under Eddie.

Who are the top 10 under Eddie then? Seems like a bunch of no nothings receive the rank of purple or greater from Eddie and then they get to open up a school. Eddie is contributing to the McDojo population. He just wants to line his pockets with more money, doesn't seem like he cares about what he puts his name on.

Brandon's web site just states he is a brown belt....I wonder who promoted him to that. I also thought he was strictly no-gi, so him being a brown belt is confusing to me.

Does seem a little fishy. I go to a small school. We could use more students. My instructor wasn't promoted by Eddie, but I guess that doesn't matter. Maybe we could change our name to 10th Planet.

He lost 2 of 3 matches. He was subbed by a random Travis Lutter purple belt. He won't put these matches online, which is funny because he puts EVERYTHING online. Part of this challenge requires it to be on video. People are sick of him touting 10th planet as the future, when he doesn't even place in a Naga division.

Lol thats funny stuff.

Wow...just watched that for the first time. No wonder someone is calling him out. He must've said 10th Planet changed Jiu Jitsu like 20 times.

That video shows a side I didn't expect of him, doesn't seem in his nature to be so cocky.

[boisefireman]

just saying 10th planet has changed jiu jitsu over and over doesn't make it true. Step one change jiu jitsu. Step two now you can say it's changed jiu jitsu.
One side note. He calls traditional bjj boring and 10th planet exciting. I find the opposite true. 10th planet is step 1 to step 2 etc ... Traditional bjj is more flow and feel and instinct
