“The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…”
I know that you may have heard the saying, “The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”, and in this case that is 100% on the mark. Roberto Torralbas has trained under some of the greats, people not afraid to put in on the line, people that don’t hide behind rank… Competitors. He is with the #1 Team in America. Trained under the likes of Danny Ives, Julius Park, and Lloyd Irvin. Lloyd Irvin, is a Grappling Hall of Famer that was inducted along with Royce Gracie. Roberto has had a passion for BJJ and Martial Arts and from the second I met him I knew that he was going to be special. After only training 7 months as a Blue Belt he won the Pan Ams. When it comes to teaching and coaching I have a good eye for that because I am Team Lloyd Irvin’s Boxing Coach. I have been around combat sports my entire life and through that learned how to spot talent for sports and coaching (teaching). Roberto is rare because he has both talent to still compete and ability to teach
