White Belt & Advanced No-Gi Instructor — Logic Jiu Jitsu Philadelphia
Vinnie Naples
Brown Belt — awarded by Dennis Pressey Jr. · No-gi and submission grappling specialist
Vinnie Naples is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt under Dennis Pressey Jr. and one of the instructors responsible for both ends of the room at Logic — the first class a brand-new student ever takes, and the advanced no-gi session where experienced grapplers get tested.
His focus is no-gi and submission grappling. He teaches concepts rather than memorized sequences: where your weight goes, what the grip is actually doing, why a position holds or collapses. That approach is why newer students retain what he shows and why advanced students keep showing up on Thursdays.
Vinnie teaches White Belt and Advanced No-Gi on Thursdays at 1360 N American St, Philadelphia, with free parking on site. He is SafeSport certified and background checked.
