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.

Congrats and big props to Mike & JT! Fought hard & smart. Thanks for
sharing
You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!! I learn allot from watching your video. Keep up the good work and keep sending videos..
great matches! congrats mike and jt. i’ve ordered from master lloyd “no gi made easy” by mike and “how to be a bjj brown belt champion” by jt and my game has improved immensely because of those dvds. i’m a 50 year old blue belt in the philippines and my work schedule makes training time very difficult. over the past two years, my advancement has come primarily from these dvds. when i have the chance to go up against my teammates (many of whom are still less than half my age), they’re suprised by the techniques i apply which come from the dvds. i also have to say that i have acquired more than just techniques from you videos. i have acquired understanding and that has allowed me to apply the techniques in ever changing situations.
mike, i love your unstoppable sweep and would definitely want to master it. jt, your standing guard pass is something that i want to add to my game.
more power mike, jt, and master lloyd!
