10th Planet Walnut Creek wins the Grappling X Sacramento Team Title

Thanks to all of our competitors and their hard work, 10th Planet Walnut Creek has won the Grappling X No-Gi Adult team title! We had competitors ranging from the beginner division to the expert division, from 145lbs to 250lbs. 

Competition is an opportunity to test your preparation leading up but it is also a step into the unknown. For some of our competitors it was a refresher back into the scene and for others it was a first time competing outside of in house events. The ultimate goal is self knowledge and mastery.

Until you are in the situation, you do not know how you are in the situation. One of the benefits of grappling is the access to growth opportunities. Stepping on to the competition mat, you will feel the adrenaline surging, once you slap hands with your opponent, you will focus in on them, dulling the sounds from the rest of the world, you are engaging in a most pure form of moving meditation.

For newer competitors it is all about finding out what has transferred from training and what processes need to be turned on. A clear example of a process we want waking up, is the ability to hear a coach, whose job is to center the athlete and make them aware of things their attention might not already be directed to, an easy example would be the match clock.

This information about yourself can only be gained through experience, so we are always proud of our students taking these steps to grow personally, regardless of match outcome. When our competitors grow, so do our non competitive or yet to be competitive members, so thank you guys so much! This team title is a sign of the will of our gym to make each other better as a community!
