- A Lawyer in Long Beach pt 4 : Clash of the TitansSaturday at the Mundials was the real beginning of the “Clash of the [BJJ] titans.” The junior blue-belts divisions, the purple-belt male and female open divisions, as well as the brown belts and the lighter-weight black belts (my favorite divisions of course) were on the docket. The bullpen, the stands, and the surrounding areas were flooded with BJJ royalt […]
- A Lawyer in Long Beach pt 3 : Once the Dust SettledLater in the day we came up with a plan whereby each fighter from Crazy 88 preparing for a fight would be assigned an assistant who had fought the day before, to make sure they had everything they needed.

- STRIKEFORCE: Heavy Artillery Review-Jon Delbrugge- In today’s mainstream MMA we have an oversaturation of the blood splattering, lightning bolt, tribal tattoo designed logo appeal to it. I like how Strikeforce is trying something different they are going for the complete opposite. Saturday night’s Heavy Artillery card had different audiences, different fighters, different TV deals. The produc […]

- Running a Large Martial Arts School vs. a Small OneI’ve had the opportunity to be a student at “small” academies that grew into big ones and also have had the good fortune of watching my own Howard County Martial Arts academy develop into a “big” school as well.

LLOYD IRVIN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS STILL CLOSED!
Last night, I was watching episodes from the UFC when it first started back in 1993 when Royce Gracie’s was dominating in the UFC. It’s amazing to see the improvements of the sport and the changes it has had throughout the last 17 yrs. It is now one of the most watched sports on T.V. Mixed Martial Arts itself is just growing rapidly and soon I am sure MMA will be the number one sport in the World.
Royce Gracie has the longest no holds barred matches and beat 4 opponents in one night. If you think about it, how many fighters do you now days that could possibly do that? And, back then, all the rules that they have now were not applied. Now days in the UFC, you have to wear gloves, no kick and knees to the while on the ground and the list can go on and on. The sport was so raw, it really kept you on your toes! Speaking of UFC, Phil Davis makes his MMA debut tonight! Make sure to check it out, and to get live updates, become of fan of Lloyd Irvin at LLOYDIRVINFANS.COM
One last thing before I go and enjoy the snow outside!! I want to Thank Master Marcos Avellan and Jason for helping me achieve my goal. I jumped in on their push up challenge and I made it to the end. Yesterday made 30 days of push ups, I did 40 daily. It was really a goal within myself that I wanted to achieve. I wanted to see if I would slack off and get lazy. Of course there were those days when I was out of town, but I still got the job done! The rules were that you had to upload your video by midnight every day, and to verify the correct date, you also had to film whatever the latest new was in the world. I mainly stuck to CNN. If Jason or myself missed 1 day, we owed Master Marcos $50. If Master Marcos missed 1 day, he owed us $1,000. In the end we both received a prize for hanging in there. I won a FREE Trip to MIAMI and Jason gets to fly with Master Marcos to his next fight and help him corner. We also get to have dinner with him and a private lesson. I have never won anything like this before and I am more than Thankful. So once again, Thank You MM!
