Sensei Frank Barca - of the Precision Martial Arts Academy in Melbourne For those unaware, 10th Planet Jiu-jitsu is the highly effective BJJ & MMA system developed by the Jean Jacques Machado Black Belt, Eddie Bravo. Known world-wide as one of the most innovative, passionate, and systematic BJJ instructors, Eddie’s game is slowly changing the face of MMA. He first became famous for using his unique strategies to defeat Royler Gracie in ADCC 2003, the only American to ever have scored a single point against Royler Gracie, let alone, submit him. Today they have evolved into a powerful and imposing strategy for dominating in BJJ & MMA worldwide. Frank Barca has trained every year at 10th Planet Jiu-jitsu in Hollywood California from 2006 - 2008 for 3 weeks per tour, coming in contact with MMA legends, Randy ‘The Natural’ Couture & Bas Rutten. Frank Barca also trained with Karo ‘The Heat’ Parisian, Chris Reilly, Amir Rahnavardi and all of Eddie’s top Brown belts, such as Scott Epstein, Brent Littel, Alder Hampel, Joe Rogan, Alex (4sakensoul), Sean Bollinger, Conor Heun, and many other talented, professional, Mixed Martial Artists in the MMA/UFC arena. |

2nd -
10th Planet Seminar Report Last fortnight we conducted another 10th Planet Jiu Jisu seminar with Sensei Frank Barca from Melbourne. It was a great weekend and we covered lots of revision and new territory. Of particular interest was the tournament prep drills and strategy work we completed on day 2. Our ground game will be No Gi and very much 10th Planet oriented with a few of my own add ins to keep us unique. We will compete next year for Zen Chi Ryu in a range of Local, State and National tournaments. I was impressed with how quickly we picked up on our ground game after no real focus here during the Warrior Way preparation. We will work diligently over the Christmas break to refine the game as taught to us by Sensei Frank Barca. Frank was fresh back from L.A. and earning his Purple Belt from Master Eddie Bravo, so it was awesome to get the latest curriculum revisions. 10th Planet continues to evolve with proven No Gi techniques.

1st - 10th Planet Seminar Report - Elevated to a 10th Planet
Finally we made it to this weekend. Our 10th Planet JJ Seminar facilitated by the energetic Sensei Frank Barca was outstanding! We ended up with 4 late withdrawals so we had 25 keen people ready to accelerate their ground game and have their minds open to the reality of No Gi grappling that works. We welcomed new friends into our dojo from Rockhampton, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Tamati gets the prize for dedication as he drove for 7 hrs with only 20 mins sleep to be there.
On Saturday we went through the history of 10th Planet JJ, it's philosophy and main concepts. We then worked on the start of the basic techniques, and I can tell you it makes the world of difference having an instructor as competent and Frank to help. We have been working out of Master Eddie's book for the last 5 months and we were missing a lot of small items that make the difference.

Saturday night was a change of pace with a great dinner party for the senior students and Frank. Kate put on an amazing "Steam Boat" style meal. Brad entertained us as usual with his humour and Australianisms. Plenty of war stories and philosophies of life were exchanged.

Sensei Frank then went on a free roll with Sempai Andrew. He moved through everything he had shown us and added a full range of variations to each attack and submission. It was awesome to watch and drew a huge applause from the group.
Sunday's session wound up with a great Q&A and another quality lunch supplied by the Zen Ladies. Thank-you to all students who helped to pack up and move the mats on both Saturday and Sunday - it is very much appreciated. If any of you have any spare time on Friday evening, I am sure that Sempai Nathan would appreciate a little assistance in setting up the mats for this weekend as they are in no particular order and it will take quite a while to rearrange them as we like them.
Well the journey has started. Now we have to put the reps into what we have been taught. So Friday nights will continue to be devoted to the ground game and lifting our skills before Sensei Frank returns at the end of the year to check our progress.
For me the best part of this weekend was meeting new people on the same journey and establishing solid relationships that will serve to enhance all parties as they push forward with their own training and dojo development.
Conceive, Believe, Achieve and put the reps in team!
