The last 3 days of training has been awesome, considering I was out all last week.  Today we warmed up with a technique then got straight to rolling. My first partner was Danny Mahoney, then I sparred with Nyjah Easton. During our roll, she got injured and I feel really bad. I heard her knee pop really loud!  We had her taken to the ER to make sure that it’s nothing serious. It’s never a good thing when someone gets hurt on the mats.  She is a 22 yr. old brown belt under Master Lloyd and has been with Team Lloyd Irvin since she was 15.  She initially started out Thai boxing and then started training BJJ.  Her brother is Mike “The Hulk” Easton and he is the current UWC 135lb Champion.  He recently got his bjj blackbelt along with JT Torres and Jay Hayes.  Mike Easton joined Team Lloyd Irvin in 2002. The Easton’s are an inspiration to everyone in the gym and they are great martial artists. They are living proof that at Lloyd Irvin’s Mixed Martial Arts, anything is possible. Everyone who trains under Team Lloyd Irvin and who has goals of achieving their black belt and or winning a World Title can.  As long as they stick to their goals and give it everything they got, Master Lloyd Irvin can make that happen. He is willing to help anyone who has goals and is serious about training. As he did myself…it’s all a working progress.

As far as the Holidays, Master Lloyd gave everyone a break for tomorrow and Christmas. So, that will be my time to finish up all of my last minute things on my shopping list.  Starting up for the New Year, we will be doing some hardcore Brazilian jiujitsu training and I look forward to it. There will be many more World Champions built at Team Lloyd Irvin.
