Headed up to Caldwell, New Jersey this weekend is a large group of members from Team Lloyd Irvin.  First off we have Master Donnie, one of our Brazilan Jiu-Jitsu Black Belts and the Head Instructor of the Kids Team who will be spending the weekend up there.  That team consists of 16 yr. old Blue Belt, Cedric Bryant, Derrick Holmes, Jamil Tyler, Aarae Alexander(Double Gold World Champion Medalist) and many more kids.  They will be competing in tomorrow’s Grapplers Quest, Beast of the East.

As for the adults, just to name a few JT Torres, Jim Harbison, Frank Camacho, DJ Jackson and a bunch of other guys are getting ready for battle as well.  This is going to be a great tournament for the guys.  They have been training really hard during the BJJ Training Camp here in Camp Springs Maryland.  Preparing themselves for The Pan Ams, Brasileiros, and Mundials it’s a great tournament to work their technique and competition game plan.  Jimmy recently took 3rd in the European Championships out in Portugal.  DJ Jackson, Lloyd Irvin Blue Belt, is a No GI World Champion, No Gi Pan Am Champion, Multiple NAGA, Grapplers Quest Champion, New York Open Champion, and Abu Dhabi Submission Championships Qualifier.  Keep an eye out for them this year!

Tomorrow is also the weigh ins for the UFC Vera vs Jones. and I can’t wait to see the fight LIVE on the Versus Channel Sunday night.  Make sure to watch it!
