10P Dayslayers Onboarding Guide By Patrick Donabedian Welcome to the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu HQ morning program (aka 10th Planet ‘Dayslayers’). Our mission is to mold you into a dangerous grappler—both off your back and on your feet. Below is all the information you’ll need to get started on the epic journey… JOIN THE TEAM #10PDaySlayers FB Messenger group: https://m.me/join/AbYWHEg_iTh-mixx This group’s primary purpose is for instructors--myself and AJ--to post class announcements.

Once you arrive, stay near the edge of the mat to do a mini-warmup/stretch. When ready, find a partner in a 3-group or I’ll select a partner for you ● Tip: Aim to show up 10-15 minutes early before every class. This is valuable “found time” for extra drilling which will give you an edge over sparring partners. You’ll need it! Tips for Success: ● Ask or message teammates and instructors questions when you get stuck or frustrated ● Help guide along and teach less experienced teammates during and/or after rolling rounds ● Drill techniques from class instruction for 5 minutes after class or rolling rounds ● Never miss a day (sort of)--on days you can’t make class, drill basic solo warm-ups at home ● Write down a minimum number of classes per week you’ll attend (be realistic). Mark the specific days in your calendar for extra accountability 1-ON-1 PRIVATE COACHING A systems-based approach to become untappable, unpassable, and, ultimately, unbeatable. A few of the things you’ll discover: 3 ● The 6 world championship level attack systems -- then select the one that would be perfect at your stage of development ● Step-by-step escape routes against the most dangerous submissions: leg locks, triangles, guillotines, and armbars ● Brain training for improved memory, self-discipline, and independent problem solving ● The exact micro-skills and drills I use to increase coordination, leg dexterity and endurance Contact [email protected] or direct message on Facebook Messenger to schedule your call SCHEDULE AND PARKING Parking: Parking on Grand (in front of gym) is 50 cents/hour starting at 8 am. Most students who plan to stay past 8 am opt to prepay the meter via credit card when arriving before 6:30am. Class concludes at 7:30 am followed by optional sparring rounds. F.A.Q. What is Ayahuasca LLC? This is the registered name for 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu that will show on your credit card statement each month. 4 Is there a Lost and Found? Yes, but only instructors have access. Please ask your instructor to check for the item you’ve misplaced. The gym is not responsible for any stolen or lost property. When do belt promotions occur? Typically, belt promotions occur every 6 months--in August and February-- after Gracie Worlds/Nationals. With a fair bit of consistency, each belt may take 1-2, even sometimes 3 years to obtain. Why didn’t I get promoted? Every student progresses at their own pace based on a myriad of factors. Also, “belt math” can appear very muddled. For example, a white belt may able to tap out a blue belt, but the professor may still wait to promote the white belt. Feel free to ask/message me if you believe your progress is going unrecognized. 5 .
