I've said this in another similar thread, but there was a point in my life where I lost a little girl that I considered to be my own flesh and blood. I felt like I had nothing to live for. I felt like I had no purpose, and didn't know what to do. I remembered hearing Eddie doing commentary on UFC, and Joe talking about him. I came across the MTRG dvds, and fell in love. I loved it even more because I have natural flexabilty in my hips and knees. I've always been able to put my feet behind my head without stretching. Eddie and his system inspired me to train. I met some guys in a town of 6,000 people, and we trained in the basement of a church, and a carport. it didnt matter if it was 100 degrees outside of 12 degrees, we trained about 2 to 5 hours, 5 days a week for about a year and a half. I've helped train a couple guys just with what little I've learned from the DVDs. We've never had any formal training, just DVDs and 2 seminars, Eddie and Royce. One of my buddies won 2 of his 3 matches in NAGA and Im 3-3 in NAGA with a first place medal. I met Eddie, and didn't flip out. He's just a normal guy, but that normal guy, I hold dear to my heart for he is my hero. (no homo lol)
