The Team will be heading out to NYC today for the the 2010 No-Gi Pan Ams. Shhhhhh the spycam will be there too

After awesome training in Vegas for The Ultimate Fighter Finale, Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis shows the world his dancing shirt.. LOL

Like Pere said, Proper Preparation! As a fighter you shouldn’t limit yourself to certain arts. Every martial art has a purpose! Come on, if its been around for Generations it has to be working! It may not work with Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) but there must be things in the art that you can add to your game that will work in different positions.

Approach training with an open mind… Yoga, kung fu, Fencing, and a whole lot of other stuff.

Just like Mr. Wonderful!

Theres nothing a Good Day of MMA Training Cant Cure!

Team Lloyd Irvin’s MMA Fight Camp has been going really well. Super stacked combat athlete room! (The combat athlete room is the back room where all the “good stuff” happen. Its where all the hard work is put in. During the winter time its gets super cold! During the Summer it gets super hot! You gotta train in all types of extremes.

For this MMA Training session I jumped in with all the guys in the fight camp to get some MMA Sparring in. You’ll see familiar faces like Wilson Reis getting ready for his Bellator fight next week in Louisiana. Mike “The Hulk” Easton, Ron Stallings, Timothy Woods, and Justin Hicky getting ready for their UWC fights on May 22nd at the George Mason Patriot Center in Fairfax VA. Kris “Savage” McCray getting some good work in. And a whole lot more!

The Team Lloyd Irvin mats are HOTT!!!

Sit back.. Relax.. and enjoy!

Rest? We’re not done! Team Lloyd Irvin is back on it!

I went to check out the Combat Athlete Room in the back of the academy and saw a packed room. The MMA fighters just finished their sparring session and the BJJ competition team were back on drilling techniques for the Worlds coming up in June! May 22nd we have Ron “Choir Boy” Stallings, Timothy Woods, and Mike “The Hulk” Easton fighting in the UWC. It will be held at the George Mason University Patriot Center in Fairfax VA. In the Combat Athlete Room Master Lloyd points out Kris “Savage” McCray for this season of TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) on Spike. Team Lloyd Irvin’s Wilson Reis will be fighting in the Bellator Fighting Championships on 05/13 -at the Monroe Civic Center, Monroe, LA.

The mats at Team Lloyd Irvin are packed with top level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors. The cage is full of world class MMA fighters! You wanna be the best? you gotta train with the best!

SPYCAM OUTTT!

HI SPYCAM Guys and Gals!

It is another Great Day here at Lloyd Irvins Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Camp Springs Maryland! We’re ending the week with some awesome Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Sparring. Ron Stallings, Kris McCray, Mike Easton, Kru Jose Villarisco, and I were all in the back for the 4:30 sparring training session. And YES I did get punched in the face a lot of times… lol but hey! No pain… No gain right?!?

It is always a privilege working with world class training partners everyday. You’ll get better and better everyday! That is one of the reasons why I moved here to Maryland to train with Master Lloyd & Team Lloyd Irvin. You are always surrounded by high level athletes with positive mind sets and great work ethic. Surrounding yourself with Champions will only pave the road to becoming one. Check out the video of our MMA Training Session!

Have  Great and Safe weekend!

New York International Open Jiu-Jitsu Championships this weekend! Time to Rip it Up! GO TEAM LLOYD IRVIN!

Whassup SpyCammers!?!?
Another Great Day of Sparring at Lloyd Irvins Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Camp Springs MD!

Todays Drill…
The 60 Second Drill

The last 60sec of the fight! You’re losing and you NEED to win the fight! What do you do? This drill is designed for situations like that.
There are 3 guys… One guy will go in for 60 seconds and will do everything in his power (no pacing, no saving energy) and let loose! When 60 sec are up one guy will get out and the 3rd guy will come in and do the same exact thing! When guy #1 finishes his two minutes guy #2 will come in and go with guy #3 and finish his 2 minutes and it keeps going.

This is a great mental MMA Training for fighters. Only when the body is going through deterioration can you truly train the mind.

Another great day of training for Team Lloyd Irvin Fighters!

Remember!! Train Hard Everyone… and Train SAFE!

Enjoy the video…

Well anywhoo… about todays “EpicNess…” 4:30PMs Sparring was super fun to watch. It was like being at a fight with front row seats! If anything, it was better! Referee view! hahah!

The Team definitely pushed through the hard MMA Training session. They all looked sharp, technical, and didn’t give up! Thats how we do!

Whassup SpyCam

Its another Great Day at Team Lloyd Irvin. JC Cuffee, Mike “The Hulk” Easton, Justin Hicky, and I did some MMA Ground and Pound work. Its amazing how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Submission Wrestling, and MMA ground sparring are all different and similar at the same time. Super hard to explain! hahah..
Come by our academy and try it for 30 Days so you can see what its like.

Roll around with a gi, roll around no gi, roll around no gi but getting punched on the ground.

Check out JC punching my face during our sparring session! lol Enjoy
