For 2010, I plan to rebuild the women’s team here at Lloyd Irvin’s Mixed Martial Arts.  So if you are a female and interested in MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai Kickboxing, we are open to anyone who wants to train.

Being that MMA is becoming more accepted in the world, more Women will continue to do it also, and the same goes for Brazilian JiuJitsu.  Any female who has an interest in fighting or mixed martial arts should get into it now!  The sport is growing and soon enough, it will probably be the biggest sport worldwide.

Kelsey Desanti was Team Lloyd Irvin‘s first female to fight in MMA.  Kelsey started mixed martial arts at the age of 16 and she has also started brazilian jiujitsu here at the academy.  She had a goal to fight MMA, she stuck to her plan, made her debut and showed what Team Lloyd Irvin has to offer.  If you want to check out where Kelsey trained, click here.

We also have Kerry Vera who is Brandon Vera’s wife.  She recently fought Kim Couture making her debut in Strikeforce, knocking her out in the first round. I was actually fortunate enough to go out and train with Kerry and work on her ground and pound for that fight. She is a very talented martial artist and you should definitely keep your eye for this upcoming female. Kerry is a humble and down to earth person who is really set on her goals and a strong person. She is a great example for women in MMA.

Make sure to check out these video’s on Kelsey and Kerry.
