Anger Management and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu   The root of anger lies in feelings like frustration, fear, failure, stress, rejection etc., which most people face on a daily basis. It can be through peer pressure or unhealthy competition. Eventually anger takes a toll on them — emotionally and physically. Anger is known to increase the chances of high blood pressure and heart attack. It also affects a person’s capability to think logically and take right decision. In some cases this can sever relationships. Proper anger management can help a person use his feelings to solve a problem rather than wasting time and filling oneself with negativity. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, though an art of self defense, can help a practitioner in anger management too. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu discourages an athlete from attacking an unaware or unprepared person. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes are strictly discouraged from using techniques that aim at injuring the opponent. Athletes are responsible for the safety of their opponent. While applying any of the submission techniques, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes must apply the pressure slowly. They must stop the moment they feel that any further pressure can injure the athlete. This teaches a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete the clarity of purpose, which is to make the opponent submit and not hurting him. It also teaches them to respect their opponent’s strength. Practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires an athlete to be self disciplined. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes are discouraged from using foul language during a match and badmouthing. Checking these tendencies helps in cutting the negative feelings of the person. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training includes exercises like kickboxing, which are known to help in washing away the negative thoughts of a person. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be of special help to parents who have a tough time controlling their child’s temper. Children can imbibe these qualities in their life at an early stage and put them into practice. Welcome to Lloyd Irvin's Children Martial Arts Website.   We offer 3 Separate Programs For Children ...

A Bold And Personal Message From Lloyd Irvin Dear Future Champion, My name is Lloyd Irvin and I’d like to thank you for visiting my website. I’m glad you came, because I’m on an unstoppable mission to help as many people in Maryland, DC and Virginia experience the benefits of our programs. I’m passionate when it comes to Mixed Martial Arts, I opened the very first Mixed Martial Arts School in the Washington DC area back in 1996, I also stepped into the ring to fight in my very first MMA event in 1996, back when it wasn’t cool and so popular. That was over ten years ago, now it seems unqualified Mixed Martial Arts Schools are popping up everywhere, most with instructors that have never fought mma and never will fight mma. Most have some grappling with no striking skills or vice versa. Many of these schools are misleading students with false claims, I personally hate seeing students that truly have great potential get trapped into a situation where they have no chance to grow to the absolute highest level possible. That’s why I’m offering you a FREE 30-Day Trial Program so you can see for yourself what we’re all about. You’ll get a Free Tour, a Free Consultation (to make sure we can serve your needs), a Free T-shirt, and you’ll get to try our classes for a Full 30 days FREE… Plus other Free Valuable Gifts (like MMA gloves, uniforms, t-shirts, books, etc.) are available just for giving my program a try. I’m even so confident in my program here that I’m willing to give you my “Iron-Clad 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee” just so you can rest assured you’re in the right place. I know that may seem crazy (and believe me, I’ve had many who’ve told me they think it’s positively insane), but I don’t care. The “naysayers” told me I was crazy when I said I would get my BJJ Black Belt in less than 4 years… they laughed when my one of my students, Mike Fowler, also said he would get his black belt in 4 years… but their laughter turned to amazement when I earned my black belt in only 3 ½ years, then after that my student Mike earned his black belt in only 4 years and shortly after became a BJJ/GJJ Black Belt National Champion and going on to defeat 3 Gracie family members (including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA Legend Renzo Gracie) as well as 6-time BJJ/GJJ World Champion and 2-Time Abu Dhabi World Champion Saulo Ribeiro at the Abu Dhabi World Submission Grappling Championships just this past year. People told Rhadi Ferguson he was a “madman” when he made his run at the 2004 Olympics… they told him there was no way he could win a national title and be among the best in the world at Judo… but after he won the US National Judo Championships to earn his spot on the US Olympic Team and represented the United States as a Judo Olympian, he proved that if you train like a madman, surround yourself with positive people who believe in you, and you follow a proven system, only great things will happen to you. Top UFC fighter Brandon “The Truth” Vera plugged himself into my system and is now experiencing success at the highest level as a heavyweight MMA fighter (who could easily drop down to light-heavyweight) in what is now the world’s largest professional Mixed Martial Arts fighting organization, The Ultimate Fighting Championship or “UFC”. I remember when Brandon first set foot in my school. He told me, “I want to fight in the UFC.” I told him, “Let’s do it. No more talk – let’s just get started with the plan and follow things through to completion.” We put together an action plan, set goals, and next thing you know, Brandon’s now fighting in the Ultimate Fighting Championship “UFC” and training hard to become the next UFC Heavyweight Champion. And I have no doubt in my mind he’ll do it – he’ll earn his UFC championship belt. Brandon Vera is driven, focused, and he won’t stop until he gets what he wants... and those are the qualities that make a champion. It’s “The Will To Win.” That’s why, when Brandon travels all the way from California and flies over 2,300 MMA schools so he can train HERE to prepare for his fights, the entire team gets so excited because they see the potential of what they can do if they just apply themselves and focus on action. We’ve got a lot of great success stories to share with you… just come to my school, talk to the students and see for yourself… we’ve got champions of ALL KINDS. World champions, national champions, MMA title holders, even Olympians like Rhadi… along with our “everyday” champions, the ones who may not have desires to compete, but come to class, work hard, train, follow my proven method for success and achieve their personal goals. They are the ones – people just like YOU – who help make Lloyd Irvin’s Mixed Martial Arts & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy the #1 school in the Washington Metropolitan area. I get excited when I’m teaching classes and I see new white belts with desire, see people in class doing, not just talking… and every time I look out onto my floor and see those students, I can’t help but think how some of them could become the next “4-year BJJ/GJJ Black Belt” or the next “UFC Fighter” or the next “World Champion.” It’s happened before and it will continue to happen because of the system I’ve meticulously created, one that enables ANYBODY… and when I say “anybody” I mean A-N-Y-B-O-D-Y to have tremendous success, get in the best shape ever, look good, feel even better and have the peace of mind knowing they’re a part of the best program available for learning life-saving fighting and self-defense skills… not to mention have a whole lot of FUN in the process. I’m telling you this not to impress you, but to impress upon you the power of setting goals, having the courage to work as hard as you can to achieve them, and following through… because often times, that’s where the real value lies – in the journey toward your goals. You can see the potential, can’t you? Wouldn’t you agree that if you have goals, no matter what they are, it makes sense to join a team where both the students and the coaches are achieving success at the highest levels? I hope you can see the potential, because, as the saying goes, “If you shoot for the moon, you’re bound to land among the stars.” That’s why it’s both my honor and my duty to let as many people know about my program as possible. It’s my passion. I absolutely love my school, and I love teaching classes, training on the mats, in the cage and in the ring with my students, and seeing them grow into great fighters and even better people. I want the best for my school and I want the best for my athletes, and I’m willing to invest whatever I can to make sure EVERYONE who comes into my academy, no matter what their specific personal goals are, will have a life-changing experience and come away with something valuable each and every time they come train. I like knowing that my students belong to the best team in the DC Metro area… and that’s why I’m happy you’re reading this, because hopefully, I’ll be working with YOU very soon. You see, I’m a very competitive person. When I set my goal of having the #1 school in the Washington Metropolitan area, I would not stop until I got there – and now that we’re the #1 school and team, I plan to work my hardest to keep us at the TOP. I realize there are a lot of programs out there, a lot of schools, and a lot of people who want to train at the BEST school. And I know that many of our “competitors” are facing the same challenges today that our competitive athletes are (also the people who are risking their lives to help others, like law enforcement and military, even people in security or simply those who just want to feel secure knowing they can defend themselves and their loved ones if something bad would happen).  I’m aware of the challenges. Isn’t it interesting that when so many different schools are “fighting” the same forces, some academies do better job of meeting those challenges than others? My entire objective with my school has been to provide my students with a method for gaining a competitive edge – both on the mats and off the mats (yes, these skills carry over into life as well – that’s why so many people, even ones who don’t want to compete, take advantage of this program). And gaining edges – large or small – is how we’ve made ours one of those few programs that is doing a better job than the rest in providing that for their athletes. But don’t take my word for it. One of the reasons I offer my 30-Day Free Trial Program is so you can come and see for yourself, talk with our staff, meet our students, participate in our classes… this way, you’ll be able to make a well-informed decision and see if everything makes sense for you. I encourage you to sign up to my email list for more free information and to call the school RIGHT NOW to set up a free tour and consultation so we can get your started with your free 30 days of classes. The phone number to the academy is 301-449-KICK (5425) so don’t hesitate; call right away because spots fill quickly. I hope to see you soon, and I look forward to working with you!
