Well today is my 22nd Birthday and I am getting ready to do a little celebrating.  (Not too much with the Pan Ams and some good training coming up).  It’s been an exciting week so far in Camp Springs with 4 of our guys making some final preparations for the Gameness MMA fights in Tennessee on Saturday.  I can honestly say that I can’t imagine anyone training harder or preparing better both mentally and physically then we do.  Good luck to all of those guys.

Today has also been a great day to reflect because I have now officially been in Maryland for a year.   Training with Team Lloyd Irvin has made a world of difference in my entire life, not just my Jiu-jitsu.  I can’t even imagine how it would be any other way.  I know that I always talk about this (if you have read any of my other posts you already know), but I can’t tell you how great and positive my experiences have been over the last 12 months in just one post.  Master Lloyd Irvin has built this wonderful machine called Team Lloyd Irvin and I am just glad to be able to reap the benefits.  Before joining this team, I was a typical jiu-jitsu practitioner.  A hobbyist.  Some say I was talented, but who isn’t?  I didn’t care, I loved to compete, loved to win, hated to lose but had absolutely NO IDEA how to set real goals much less accomplish them.  Now 12 months later, I know exactly what I want.  With the help of my coaches I have a specific gameplan to attack, breakdown and achieve everything I want.  It’s crazy because everyone on the team is working on the same things.  Master Lloyd makes it a requirement.  Whether you wanna be a World Champ or just lose few pounds, it doesn’t matter, Team Lloyd Irvin helps to lay this out for you.  I don’t know about everyone else, but I have already started applying this stuff to other aspects of my life as well.  Well, time to go celebrate and plan for another great year.

Tomorrow the guys are leaving to Tennessee for the Gameness Fighting Championships!  On the card we have Ron Stallings, Timothy Woods, JC Cuffee, and DJ Jackson, fighting out of Camp Springs Maryland.  Make sure to give them your support, go Team Lloyd Irvin!!
