Watch the highlights of Team Lloyd Irvin’s 1st two tournaments of the 2008 Competitive year. Although we only brought about a 3rd of the team for these events, it was still enough to get the job done and continue the teams outstanding streak of victories. Even more importantly though was the motivation of the beginners who came out and laid it on the line. It is through your efforts that the team remains strong.
With the final two tournaments finished and the year over, Team Lloyd Irvin’s Youth Competitors finish by not losing a single competition AS A TEAM. With all the kids learning and growing we look forward to a great future and hope to have just as much fun - WIN, LOSE OR DRAW, next Year. ENJOY THE VIDEO!!! and please comment on it!

The team did great as they captured 9 advanced titles. Derrick Holmes solidified his place as the Number 1 Youth RATED grappler in the Country for 2007 in both Gi and No-Gi categories, matching the feat done last by now teen standout, Ryan Villogram in 2005. Ryan, also brought home a Championship Belt and Silver medal in his 1st tournament in over 5 months after tearing his abdominal muscle in August.
Carlo Levell and Cedric Bryant ran the table in both of their divisions as they flew back to Maryland with multiple titles.
Ti-Jean Awad came 1 match and 1 sec short from clean sweeping both of his divisions. Ti-jean at 84 lbs was the smallest of his 95 and below weight class and had his finals opponent in a full blown Kimura only to hear the buzzer sound simultaneously as his opponent tapped. It was a great match never the less with both Ti-Jean and his opponent fighting every second until the match was over. Ti-jean walked away with 1 Belt and 1 silver medal.
A great effort was also turned in by Aarae Alexander and Cory Walker (2 Bronze medals).
The Kids had a great time as always in Vegas. They arrived late Thursday evening and enjoyed many activities that Vegas had to offer. Among some were the Lance Burton Magic Show, and the Stratosphere Skyscraper Rides.
Due to yesterday’s closing for inclement weather, a scheduled stripe test had to be postponed for next week. Subsequently, the belt test scheduled for this Friday will also be moved to next Friday December 14th.
Due to the short notice, Master Donnie will be conducting a make up test for any student who is unable to make the re-scheduled test for next Friday. If your child falls into this category please call the academy and set up a make up exam.
Thanks!

Congratulations Team Lloyd Irvin’s Kids. Hardest Working Youths On the Grappling Scene.
This Monday, at approximately 9:30p.m., Master Lloyd Irvin added another chapter to the history books of Lloyd Irvin’s Martial Arts Academy when he promoted Steven Brown to the Adult Brazilian Jiu-jitsu rank of Blue Belt. Steven has been one of the most dedicated students since starting the Junior Martial Arts Program 7 years ago. He has competed in numerous tournaments and began dabbling in the adult division last year coming away with both gi and no-gi titles in the adult divisions while still excelling in his teen division.
We look forward to Steven representing his Blue Belt the same way he represented all of his Youth Belts.
Please feel free to leave a comment on this blog and let us know what you think. Stay tuned for many more highlights to come as the team prepares for a VERY busy month of November as they plan to compete at the Grappler’s Quest on November 10th and then the NAGA on November 17th. Both Tournaments will be in New Jersey.
Cedric as well as Team Lloyd Irvin’s other Top Contenders will also be traveling to the West Coast to compete in the Grappler’s Quest West in Las Vegas.
Team Lloyd Irvin spent the weekend in Wildwood New Jersey having some fun in the sun, and also found some time to bring home another team title. That is 8 Straight for the Team as it looks to close out the year as the only team in the country to hold titles in U.S. Grappling, NAGA and Grapplers Quest. But don’t take my word for it. Check out the highlights from this past weekend.
