WWE Diva Eve Torres trains in jiu jitsu

So I heard about this video clip floating around with new WWE Divas Champ Eve Torres demonstrating her jiu jitsu training. It is on the Wrestlemania XXVI DVD. My friend Curtis got me a copy and I'm putting it up on the blog so you don't have to go looking for it elsewhere. The WWE has been pushing her jiu jitsu training on TV for obvious reasons but it doesn't change that she's still a very green pro wrestler. As she says in the video, she's been training for several years mostly for self defense and for fun. Despite what she says, it really doesn't help her much in WWE style pro wrestling. If she was working in Japan, it would help somewhat but not in the WWE. A lot of her wrestling moves consist of very slow gymnastics. And before anyone get any stupid ideas, even if she wanted to try pro MMA, as long as she is under contract to the WWE, they would never allow it. Enjoy the video.
