- 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. It was an honor to be able to assist, in what little way I could, in a teammates’ preparations. SEVEN (7) Lloyd Irvin competitors became World Champions on […]

- A Lawyer in Long Beach : My Experience at the BJJ World Championships by David ZwanetzAs most people know, the “Super Bowl” is the championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the premier association of professional American football.

- UFC 114: Rampage v Evans Review by Jon DelbruggeUFC 114 was a Mayweather style hyped card. Two of MMAs best light heavyweights finally fighting each other after 15 months of well publicized trash talk.

- Blogging About Brazil by Tye RyanEnjoying the View from Barra Bella Something like a paleontologist excavating his first fruitful site or a young astronaut making his first step on the moon, my dedication, sacrifice and embracement of the brazilian jiu jitsu lifestyle had culminated into a great opportunity.

- 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. One thing that I’ve noticed is how different it is to run a successful big program vs. . . . → Read More: Running a Large Martial Arts School vs. a […]
DUE TO THE SNOW STORM, LIMAA WILL BE CLOSED FOR ALL CLASSES MONDAY, FEB. 8, 2010.
If you are in the Maryland, DC, or Virginia area, don’t stop training or thinking about Mixed Martial Arts. Hopefully most of you were able to catch the UFC 109 last night when Randy Couture choked out Mark Coleman. Phil Davis, who made his MMA debut last night, won by unanimous decision, and absolutely dominating his opponent. Congrats to Phil and I can’t wait to see him fight again soon, check out what he had to say after his fight!!!
We are in the two weeks of preparation for the guys who will be fighting in Tennessee on Feb. 20. The last time the guys trained as a group was on Friday, and since then have been completely snowed in. Eager to train and get a workout, I am sure they are getting in any workout possible. They have been working hard on their wrestling, jiu-jitsu and most importantly, their strength and conditioning. With no workout equipment and about 3 ft of snow blocking his car, check out JC Cuffee while he gets a quick run in to the store, anyway to get a workout and sweat!
Today, I was instructed to watch at least an hour of footage on Terere, if not more, and I did. I enjoy watching Jiu-Jitsu videos, I am going to make it a routine to watch them more often….just like my BJJ teammate Frank “The Crank” Camacho. He had mentioned that he is going to watch at least 1 Black Belt match a night, which gives me a great idea…….to be announced…..
How often are you watching or studying jiu-jitsu matches? Maybe not enough, so get on it and make it a habit. Even if you are watching techniques on youtube, more knowledge won’t hurt.
Go TEAM LLOYD IRVIN
