- 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 […]

Also offered with our 30 Day Free Trial, you will get one of the best workouts and also learn great take downs and techniques in our Wrestling Class here at Lloyd Irvin’s Mixed Martial Arts. The wrestling class is taught by Jim Kelly, former wrestler and Bjj Purple Belt.
Did you happen to catch the UFC 11, where St. Pierre dominate all 5 rounds over Dan Hardy? Hardy had absolutely no take down defense, as opposed to someone like BJ Penn who rarely ever gets taken down. Learning wrestling can help you in many real life situations. You can avoid being taken down, or if needed, take someone down.
In the beginning of the wrestling class, they start off with some neck exercises, which is one of the things that Jim Kelly specializes in. After having an accident the should have left him in a wheel chair, but with his specialized neck training routines and exercises, it saved him. Jim Kelly is still training to this day, and he still continues to do these neck exercises. To check out these neck exercises, click here!
