But how often does eddie get caught in class? or does it happen? (other than when he's pranking people obviously) I just ask because although im not anywhere close to his level, I'd still like to think im ok.. but there are some guys that are just so much bigger and stronger that i feel like theres no way i could beat them. and eddie is about my size so i wonder how those match ups go for him. I just cant imagine not losing to some of the bigger guys i roll with.
he catches them with armbars from guard from what iv seen.. the pump and all that. but you look at his pump and you know there arent many that can compare with it. the more you drill moves like that, the more people they will work on
oh i definitely agree. He's probably my favorite jiujitsu practitioner in the world, But it still seems like you throw him against a Randy Couture (maybe.. id like to see that one actually), Or Perhaps Nogeura, or Fedor, or some other big High Level Grappler, and it seems like they would have to catch him in something every once in awhile. So i didnt know how often one of those level fighters showed up or if he had any big heavyweights in his class that are good on the ground. (I say heavyweight just because i dont see anyone around his weight touching him.) In fact, what about Joe? he seems like hes pretty good at Grappling from what ive seen. and he trains there.. cant he ever muscle anything in on eddie?
Joe has said on his podcast that he has never tapped Eddie
Eddie said Denny caught him with a Knee Bar awhile back.
I roll with my students on a daily basis and I get caught maybe twice a month, sometimes less, sometimes more :)
Eddie have you rolled with george sot before? and how has that gone? I would love to see vid of that.
ladies and gentlemen, the most humble instructor in jiu jitsu.Quote:

Eddie rolls with everyone in his class. He says he gets a lot of close calls from some of his students.
That's his fault though for teaching such slick, effective moves.
Eddie's BJJ is so good that it makes no difference in size at that lvl, unless they are of equal or close to the same skill lvl. He will let you go where you want and just control you there. Its like a matador bringing you in for the kill. He lets you where yourself out and then he subs ya lol.
Geeze, once or twice a month.. thats freakish. And i agree.. that 1-2 times speaks more than him never losing.. That means he's trained his students VERY well. I would guess if i rolled with eddie 100 times.. id probably get tapped about 150 :P
Guys, not taking anything away from Eddie, but everyone gets caught. Well I should say everyone, I know a Black Belt who let his knee get tore up cause he didt want to tap to a heel hook, and I dont care who you are, the heel hook is the ultamate equalizer. Some people will never get as good as they could because of pride. Thats why I dig Eddies outlook on shit, leave ego off the mat and know that you will get caught, and just be comfortable with that fact. Also, if Eddie wasnt a good teacher, his students wouldnt tap him, so that speaks for itself.
I agree. And i want to make sure its clear i wasnt saying freakish as in a lot, i was saying thats freakish to ONLY get caught 2 times a month. Im used to getting tapped 10 times a day haha. That must be a crazy feeling knowing that you can literally roll with anyone in the world and have a good chance of beating them. I cant imagine beating some of the bigger purple belts i know haha.
Don't underestimate yourself, he might tap from that incredibly tight nut-hug you got there. :)Quote:

If your not getting tapped by your student then your not a very good instructor. :)
Ya from watching mastering the system and just being on the website ever since it launched Ive noticed there is a lot of purple and brown belts who have been with Eddie for a while now. If he wasnt getting taped I would have to question his teaching abbility. He has a black belt world champion in his early 20's under him, you bet your ass hes getting tapped.
