thereal ep38 Eddie Vincent jiu jitsu, the mat factory head instructor, pgh, pa.

EDDIE VINCENT HAS STUDIED JIU JITSU FOR OVER 15 YEARS. HIS JOURNEY BEGAN WITH WALT BAYLESS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE BEGINNING OF HIS HYBRID CROSS TRAINIING (JIU JITSU AND WRESTLING)  EDDIE DOESNT JUST KNOW JIU JITSU, HE EMBODIES THE JIU JITSU LIFESTYLE, UNDERSTANDS THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE ARTE SUAVE.... AND INTEGRATES CROSS TRAINING WITH WRESTLING BASED TECHNIQUES AND JIU JITSU FUSED TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THE MAT FACTORY'S TEAM SUCESS AT THE NAGA, IN MMA AND IN OTHER GRAPPLING TOURNAMENTS ARE BECAUSE OF EDDIES TEACHINGS ALONG WITH HIS FELLOW COACH ISAAC GREELEY. STUDENTS SUCH AS DOM MAZZOTTA, CHRIS DEMPSEY, DEREK WRIGHT, FRANCIS HEALY AND ZACH GOBEL ALL HAVE INTEGRATED EDDIE'S TEACHINGS INTO THEIR MMA TRAINING AND ALL ARE SUCCESSFUL. I TRULY LOOK AT AT EDDIE VINCENT AS AN INNOVATOR AND ORIGINATOR FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, AND AS THE PICTURE ON THE MAT FACTORY WALL SHOWS OF HELIO GRACIE, HE FOLLOWS IN THE FOOTSTEPS IN TEACHING LIKE THE LATE GREAT GRANDMASTER.
