Saturday, Day 6 of the Pan Ams Jiu-Jitsu Training Camp and it was a 3 hour practice. Warming up with take downs, and drills, then 7 minute rounds for 1 hour is how we ended the week. Brown Belt Cory Robinson and a friend, Jordan came to train as well! It was a good size class for a Saturday. It was a great practice, also more of a relaxing practice and Monday is back to strength and conditioning and hard core training. So rest up, soak your bodies in a nice hot bath, take your vitamins and everything else that is needed!
Master Lloyd took off to Ohio to support Dominick Cruz who is fighting for the bantamweight title vs Brian Bowles in Columbus, Ohio just after jiu-jitsu training. They are showing the WEC event live on Versus starting at 10 pm. We will also be showing the fights at Lloyd Irvin Mixed Martial Arts, so stop by if you wanna watch the fights with the team.
I also want to say Congrats to the guys from Crazy 88 who flew out to Texas for the Houston Open this weekend. BJJ blue belt Evan Gideon placed 1st in the middle heavy weight division, Tye Ryan Murphy placed 2nd in the middle weight class, and Al Washington bjj white belt placed 2nd as well. Another Congrats to the guys from Third Law BJJ down in Florida. When I was down in Florida competing for the Abu Dhabi Pro Trials, the Third Law guys were very supportive. Congrats again! All these tournaments are really helping everyone prepare for Worlds and I can’t wait. Up next will be Grapplers Quest in New Jersey, March 20. Brandon “The Truth” Vera also fights on March 21th. vs Jon Jones, so catch it on SPIKE!
