GO TEAM LLOYD IRVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Team Lloyd Irvin continues to set records and shock the World.  Who would’ve thought that in PG County Maryland Brazilian Jiu Jitsu would be rising to such a high level.

No other American Team has ever won as many medals at the Brazilian Nationals as Team Lloyd Irvin did this year.  JT Torres was on fire submitting his first

4 opponents.  Three submissions were with his trademarked Back bow and arrow choke(<Click Here> To Get A FREE DVD Showing You His Back Taking Secrets) and one match ended in a toe hold submission.

In the finals he battled Team Atos fighter Gilbert Burns losing by 2 advantages.

Here is JT getting his Silver Medal

JT also got one of his biggest wins of his young black belt journey when he met World Champion Lucas Lepri (Allicance) in a match that would decide who would go into the medal rounds.  Lucas had defeated JT twice in no gi winning 2-0 both times and had defeated JT recently 5-2 at pan ams.  We’ve been studying film, working on strategies and JT was really geared up for this match. There was so much talk about these guys fighting, people saying that JT would never be able to beat guys at that level for years to come etc.

We trained so hard for this match and everything seemed to work out just as planned.  JT’s level of play is improving at such a drastic rate it’s scary.  There is ‘MAGIC’ happening on the floors in “camp springs maryland” right now. The process, the work, the attitudes, the ‘no excuses’ mindset is just all over!  It’s a great time to be involved in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Maryland, DC and Virginia
