Image
One of the few men I have gotten to know since I have been a part of the MMA community and admired is Eddie Lallo. I once got-in-ear that he had a very interesting up bringing and was interested in finding out what his journey to MMA was like. Interesting enough, what I heard was not the half of it yet.

Initially it was really only about utilizing techniques that worked for MMA and eventually the parallel lines drew closer to BJJ. Although I now have a Black Belt in BJJ, the grappling I coach is really mainly self-taught and still mainly MMA focused. It’s largely Jiujitsu in format b…
