  • A Lawyer in Long Beach pt 4 : Clash of the Titans
    Saturday 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 Settled
    Later 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 […]

  • UFC 114: Rampage v Evans Review by Jon Delbrugge
    UFC 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. The under card had some relatively unknown fighters as well as some well known names here and there. All in all the card displayed some . . . → Read More: UFC 114: Rampage v Evans Review by Jon Delbrugge […]

    Enjoying 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 One
    I’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 […]

Team Lloyd Irvin absolutely dominated the Gameness Fighting Championships last night in Nashville, Tennessee.  With 9 fighters from Nashville MMA, and 4 guys from Camp Springs, we only had 2 losses and some great finishes!  The event was completely sold out!

Dj Jackson, brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt won the 7th victory of the night due to tapout from strikes!  JC Cuffee wins his fight by unanimous decision and boy was it a battle!  He hurt his shoulder in the first round, broke some fingers, and walked out of that cage a Champion!  Ron Stallings,  won by KO in the 2nd round.  During Ron’s first round, his opponent was in his guard and was landing huge ground and pound strikes.  Luckily, nothing too much that would jeopardize his fight.  During the second round, his opponent was gassed and Ron wasn’t letting up!  He hung in there and landed 2 kicks to the body of his opponent, then Ron punished him until the referee had to stop the fight!

Hard Work Will Always Beat Talent

Congrats to all of the MMA guys, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

We are already at the end of February, and the next Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Tournament is on March 6th, it’s the Houston International Open.  Over the next 4 months, there will a be a major BJJ tournament at the beginning of every month!  Before you know it, Worlds will be here, and I can’t wait.  Team Lloyd Irvin has the potential to get several guys on that 1st place spot on the stand, and it will happen!  But keep in mind that the only way it can happen is by training hard and dieting correctly.
