The
#1 BJJ & Submission Grappling Competition Team In MD, DC &
VA Wants To Know…

Do You Wanna
Compete
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Do
You Wanna WIN
BJJ & Grappling Tournaments?

If you answered “YES” to those questions,
then pay close attention to what we’re about to share with
you… because you’re about to get UNDENIABLE
PROOF that Lloyd Irvin’s MMA & Grappling Academy
is the absolute BEST Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy for people
like you who have a thirst for competition – and more importantly,
have the desire to WIN in BJJ and grappling competitions.

On top of that, we’re about to share with you
the common problems that aspiring competitors have when they’re
looking for the best possible place to train in order to become
BJJ or submission grappling champions.

Here’s one of the major problems…

With so many MMA, BJJ and grappling schools popping
up all over the country, it’s hard to make an educated decision
when you don’t know exactly what to look for. The fact is
there are certain key factors and success principles you absolutely
must watch out for when searching for the best school to suit your
needs as a competitor and aspiring champion.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• If you’re going to compete, wouldn’t you
  like to be the absolute BEST competitor you could possibly
  be?
• If you know you have it in you to become a champion,
  then wouldn’t you want to give yourself the best opportunity
  to become the best?
• Wouldn’t you want to train with the best?
• Wouldn’t you want to get involved with the most
  accomplished competition team in the MD, VA & DC area?

YES! Of course you would! That’s a “no-brainer.”
There’s not a “serious” person on this planet
who wouldn’t answer YES to every single one of those important
questions!

Picture this…

You want to compete. You don’t just wanna “go
out there and see what you can do,” you want to WIN. You’re
serious about training and you know you want to find the best possible
school that can suit your training needs.

Now here’s the big problem – the “BUT”
– YOU MAY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN ORDER TO GET
THE BEST TRAINING!

You may know some of what you WANT, but you might
not know everything you truly NEED to become a phenomenal competitor.

So, what we’re going to do for you is give you
a list of everything you NEED to give yourself the best opportunity
to become a champion in submission grappling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
(BJJ).

This way, you’ll have the precise information
you’ll need to make an educated and well-informed decision
on where you choose to pursue your competitive dreams.

We guarantee that before you even finish looking
over this page, you’ll know that when it comes to BJJ and
grappling instruction in the Washington DC Metro area, we are unquestionably
the best. Yes, we know that’s a bold statement but we’re
going to PROVE it to you with what our instructors, and more importantly,
our happily-involved students have accomplished in competition.

Meet our head instructor, Lloyd Irvin…

On top of being a champion competitor, Lloyd is also
author and producer of several books and training programs geared
specifically toward grapplers who want to become the best at what
they do, like “The Grappling Game Plan” and “NHB
Strength Training” and many more.

Lloyd Irvin is known throughout the entire world
as an expert in strength and conditioning, mental preparation and
strategic game planning for combat sports and is also a member of
the “Grappling Hall Of Fame” for his outstanding accomplishments
as both a competitor and even more-so, a coach.

  Captain

The above list may be impressive, but in reality,
what Lloyd has done personally as a champion competitor doesn’t
have all that much to do with getting YOU good. After all, this
isn’t about Lloyd Irvin – this is about YOU and YOUR
competitive goals and dreams.

So everything said about Lloyd Irvin’s competitive
background, scratch it – because it’s more about what
our students have done and are doing now on a consistent
basis that will PROVE without a shadow of a doubt that we can turn
YOU into a champion grappling competitor.

This brings us to one of the key factors you should
look out for when searching for the best grappling and BJJ school
for people who want to compete.

When looking at schools, you need to ask this question:

“What Have Their Students Done In
Competition?”

Good question.

Here’s the bottom line: If a team has a reputation
of consistently producing champions at every BJJ belt level and
every grappling division, then it’s a safe bet that if you
join that team and follow the team’s system of success, you
too can become a champion.

As a team, we take great pride in what our students
have accomplished and what our current happily-involved students
are doing now in competitions across the world.

This brings us to our first “Team Lloyd Irvin
Case Study.”

Why Team Lloyd Irvin Competitors Succeed

One of the reasons why our students succeed is because
they have quality training partners to workout
with every day and every practice. This is yet another
“key factor” to look for in a quality competition academy.
It’s important to be around people with similar goals as you.
It’s vital for any competitor to train with others who take
their training just as seriously as you take yours.

Team Training Under The Watchful Eyes Of Our Dedicated, World-Champion
Instructors …

Another key factor that ties into having
awesome teammates by your side is having real SUPPORT.
For example, our teammates support each other at every practice,
every competition, every fight, and every tournament. They are there
to push you to higher levels, to cheer you on, to get you going
and be there for you through the rough patches you may have. After
all, this sport is tough – it isn’t for wimps, whiners
or excuse-makers. Our students feel great knowing they are heading
into battle with their team by their side, helping them, supporting
them.

Team Lloyd Irvin Supports Their Teammates!

Along with the support, you’ll get the peace of
mind knowing that you’re training
with students who are DEDICATED to achieving their goals,
not just some in and out wannabes who just show up on the mats here
and there so they can tell their friends they train. Our instructors
set themselves at a higher standard and they expect the same from
our students. In order to become a champion you must have desire,
you must have a strong will to win, and you must be dedicated. And
when you look at what we have done as a team, you can see clearly
just how dedicated we are to developing champions.

In fact, take a look at what we’ve done as a team at 2 of
the world’s biggest submission grappling tournaments, Grapplers
Quest and NAGA.

Here’s what all these team victories have to do with YOU.

<<< INSERT BENEFITS TO TIE INTO THE “SUCCESS FORMULA”
>>>

Our formula for success is simple.

Proven System
+
Quality Coaching
+
Great Teammates

+
Work Ethic & Attitude
=
SUCCESS!

We have a proven system (there’s simply no better proof
than our team RESULTS in competition).

We have quality coaching (not only are our coaches champion competitors,
they’re also champion instructors). We have great teammates
(our support system is second to none and all you need to do is
check out one competition team class to see the kind of quality
training partners you’ll have access to on a regular basis).
We work harder to transform our athletes into champions. Bottom
line.

Let’s get into some more of Team Lloyd Irvin’s success
principles and why they’ve made us one of the top competition
teams in the nation and the #1 competition team in the Maryland,
Virginia and DC area.

Competition Success
Principle #1:
Work Ethic
& Attitude

Here at Lloyd Irvin’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy we take
pride in knowing we’re training harder – and smarter
– than any other team in the area. There are certain “secrets”
to our success, which you’ll learn about in this letter, but
it’s certainly no secret at all that the #1 reason why we’re
the best grappling competition team in Maryland, Virginia and DC
is because of our work ethic and our attitude.

Here’s why this benefits YOU. Not only do we push our students
past where they think they can go, our coaches do more than just
teach you. They train WITH you. We take a “hands on”
approach to training, meaning our coaches are on the mats with our
students training and making sure you are getting better at the
fastest rate possible.

Our thinking is that if our coaches are working harder than any
other coaching staff around, there’s no way possible for our
students to fail.

We’re the best because we hold ourselves to a higher standard.
The fact is this:

While most other teams are training to beat Team Lloyd Irvin,
we’re training to beat the best grapplers in the world.

Competitors Beware! Other Schools Will Flat Out
LIE To You!

Here’s another major PROBLEM that many aspiring competitors
will run into when checking out teams they might want to join: many
schools simply don’t have goals to be the absolute BEST in
the world. A lot of instructors and coaches actually hold their
competitors back by not “giving it to you straight”
or by babying you, telling you that it’s okay to train half-hearted
or not be as committed as you should be. They’ll make excuse
after excuse for themselves as coaches, they’ll give excuses
for their team not performing up to an acceptable level, and they’ll
make excuses for you as a competitor just to make you feel good.
Or if you wanna put it another way that’s not so “P.C.”
you could say they blow smoke up your ass so you won’t quit.

Not us. If you have the courage to step foot on our mats and you
want to really compete, then we’re gonna give it to you straight.
No BS.

Warning!
Don’t Get Stuck On A Team With The Wrong Mindset!

Here’s another PROBLEM that the “real deal”
competitors get when figuring out which teams they want to join:
they’ll get involved with teams that accept just going out
there to compete or teams that will talk about getting medals. Unfortunately
many times aspiring champions run into coaches who tell them to
get a medal or that it’s great to just go out to a big tournament
and compete.

That’s SAD. Here’s why. By having that kind of mentality
and preaching that attitude and mentality to you, they are actually
holding you back. You’ll Never WIN That Way!

That’s a problem, but this common problem can be solved
by following our next competition success principle…

Competition Success
Principle #2:
Setting Yourself At A

Higher Standard Of Excellence

If you want to compete, you should want to WIN. If you don’t
want to WIN and if you’re really okay with losing, if you
accept losses graciously, then where’s the meaning? The coaches
and champions of Team Lloyd Irvin shoot for nothing less than gold
medals – nothing less than VICTORY. And yeah, sure, sometimes
people fall short. Nobody is absolutely perfect in a sport like
this. However, if you strive to be the absolute best, then most
likely you’re going to have a lot of success.

A perfect example of a student who had the goals of being the
absolute best he could possibly be, a student who had the courage
to go after what he wanted and work hard to overcome his faults
and weaknesses is a Team Lloyd Irvin grappler named Mike Fowler.

Let’s take a look at another “Team Lloyd Irvin Case
Study.”

– Team Lloyd Irvin Trains To Beat
The Best In The World!

And THAT is one of the biggest reasons why…

“People From All Over The World Travel Right
Here
To Camp Springs, MD To Train At Our Academy”

Being the #1 school in the Maryland, Virginia and DC area has
its merits. It affords us the opportunity to provide our students
with the best possible coaching and tournament preparation in the
area, along with the best training facilities.

That’s why many of our students are more than willing to
drive over one hour, one way, to train at our academy. To them,
it’s more than worth the extra few minutes of travel time
to train with the best. For the serious competitor, one who wants
to WIN grappling matches against the toughest competition, it’s
an easy decision to travel just a little bit more to make it here.

Here’s one of our students who travels over an hour one
way consistently to train with Team Lloyd Irvin…

<<< INSERT VIDEO/WRITTEN TESTIMONIAL OF COMPETITOR WHO
TRAVELS FAR TO TRAIN AT LIMAA –PHIL PROCTOR, ETC >>>

We understand some schools may be closer to you, and some of those
schools might even have students who compete… but if you’re
serious about winning, doesn’t it make sense to travel just
a little bit more to get the best training possible? If you’re
going to compete, wouldn’t you agree the smart decision would
be to prepare for competitions with the #1 competition team in the
MD, VA & DC area, even if you might have to drive a little more
to get there?

Yes!

Let’s think about it… why would you want to take a
chance of losing in a competition because you didn’t do everything
in your power to get the best training possible? Anyone who’s
serious about competing in BJJ or grappling tournaments would be
willing to sacrifice maybe a little more and invest just a little
more time into getting world class training, right?

This brings us to our next competition success principle…

Competition Success
Principle #3:
Surrounding Yourself
With The Right People

If you want to have success on the mats, one thing you absolutely
must have is a quality support system. You have to surround yourself
with the right people who can help you get the job done. You absolutely
must have quality friends, mentors and coaches to follow.

Having said that, many aspiring grappling champions who never
really had the success they dreamed about have this in common:

Unsuccessful competitors didn’t surround themselves with
the right people.

If you surround yourself with mediocre people and are part of
a mediocre team… you will have the tendency to become mediocre.
If you surround yourself with unmotivated people and an unmotivated
team… you will have the tendency to be unmotivated.

Unfortunately, many people who really want to be champions make
a huge mistake and choose to train at academies that simply don’t
measure up. Many aspiring champions end up doing nothing because
they messed up and joined the wrong team and associated with the
wrong people.

Those people end up living the rest of their lives with regret
and sometimes even shame after finding out they could have made
maybe just one or two different decisions with regards to which
competition team they chose to join.

That’s a major problem and one that doesn’t sit well
with us here at Lloyd Irvin’s MMA, BJJ & Grappling Academy.
We hate seeing people lose matches because they’re not preparing
properly as a result of being on the wrong team.

It’s all goes back to this simple principle: If you want
success in grappling, surround yourself with successful motivated
grapplers and coaches who have a common goal to be the absolute
best at what they do.

You don’t have to make the same mistake so many other unlucky
folks make when trying to find the best BJJ and grappling competition
team.

It’s your responsibility as an aspiring champion to associate
yourself with the right people. If you associate yourself with champions,
there’s a good chance you can become a champion yourself.
If you surround yourself with energetic, motivated and ambitious
people, you will naturally push each other to the top. If you don’t,
you won’t – plain and simple.

As a member of Team Lloyd Irvin you can rest assured you are surround
by the right people.

If you check out tournament footage of Team Lloyd Irvin members
in action, you’ll see how enthusiastic our team is and how
strongly we stand behind our competitors. You’ll get so much
support during both the preparation for the competitions and during
the competitions. You’ll never be without a coach and you’ll
always have people pushing you to new heights and helping you through
your challenges. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

When You Train With Team Lloyd Irvin, You’ll Be Training With
The Best!

We Have Many Black Belts Who Will Train With You And Coach You To
Success
At National, International and Even World Tournaments!

Train With Lloyd Irvin and You’ll Be Training With Winners!

Having good friends, mentors and coaches is PRICELESS when you’re
a competitive combat athlete. It’s worth it to seek out the
right people to associate yourself with, because when you do find
the right people and the right team, it can make an enormous positive
impact on your life. The great news is that you can control who
you associate with and which competition team you decide to join.
So do it. If you live near the Maryland, Virginia or Washington
Metropolitan area, the smart choice is simple.

This brings us to our next “Team Lloyd Irvin Case Study.”

Competition Success
Principle #4:

Being Committed

If you wanna compete, and you wanna WIN, you gotta be committed.

You can’t be a “TALKER.” You gotta be a “DOER!”

Here’s what we mean by this…

Commitment is something that all champions have in common. Champion
competitors are 100% committed to their sport.

Here’s another major PROBLEM facing many people who want
to compete and win grappling tournaments. They’ll join a team
that does nothing but “talk” about winning championships
yet lacks any kind of true commitment to really doing what it takes
to get the job done on the mats. Countless grapplers join teams
because irresponsible coaches make promise after promise but never
delivering.

With Team Lloyd Irvin, what you see is what you get. We don’t
need to promise you the world in order to get you to join our team.
All anyone has to do to see if we’re telling the truth is
to look at our team’s competition RESULTS. Our results speak
for themselves.

Winning Is Team Lloyd Irvin’s Business… And Business
Is Good!

Here’s something else you must do in order to be a winner
on the mats. You gotta surround yourself with people who are committed
to training YOU to be a champion. You have to be a part of a team
that’s committed to giving its members the best training possible.

Here’s how Team Lloyd Irvin is 100% committed to preparing
YOU to become their next success story.

We have dedicated classes that will improve your abilities in
specific areas, like takedowns (wrestling), submission holds (chokes,
arm locks, leg locks, etc.), scoring points (sweeps, passing, etc.)
and conditioning. We have advanced classes and classes for beginners
only.

When you start taking classes at our academy and begin your preparation
to become a champion grappler, you’ll see how Lloyd Irvin
and the rest of your coaches are committed to getting you tougher,
getting you stronger, getting you better and getting your body and
mind hardened to be able to win grappling matches.

There are a lot of ways to win in grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,
but as far as we’re concerned, there’s only one way
to prepare – and that’s with total commitment. That’s
the only way you’re gonna have consistency built into your
performance on the mat and that’s the only way you’re
gonna have consistency to get what you want to get.

This brings us to our next “Team Lloyd Irvin Case Study.”

The training we do for competition isn’t easy. In fact, it
can be quite grueling at times… which brings us to our next
competition success principle.

Competition Success
Principle #5:
Having The Courage
To Challenge Yourself Every Day

Combat sports like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling
are tough sports. Competing in one-on-one sports like grappling
and BJJ is definitely not for everybody (although it should be).
It takes people with tremendous courage to step out there on the
mat and impose their will on their opponents.

There’s no denying that competing in one-on-one combat sports
will be one of the most challenging things you will ever do in your
life. For some people, it can be downright scary… which brings
us to this big question…

Are You Scared Of The Challenge?

As a member of Team Lloyd Irvin, you will be challenged every
day. You can bet on that.

It ain’t gonna be a cake walk. If it was easy to be a champion
grappler, then everybody and their mother would be walking around
with a gold medal hanging from their neck.

It’s hard. It’s challenging. That’s the way it
is and that’s the way it should be.

What you’ll feel as soon as you step on the mats as a member
of Team Lloyd Irvin will be a great sense of pride knowing that
as a competitor, you’re on the right team and you’re
doing the right things in practice in order to become a champion.
When that happens, you’ll notice big changes in your life
off the mat as well in your body and your mind which translates
to an overall better quality of life for you and the people around
you.

Now let’s try something.

Picture yourself at your first competition, winning your first
match as a member of Team Lloyd Irvin, getting your hand raised
in victory and hearing the roar of your teammates in your corner
and in the crowd. Think that’s gonna feel good? You bet it
will.

As a member of Team Lloyd Irvin, the #1 competition team in the
DC Metro area, you’ll feel an enormous sense of accomplishment
simply knowing you had the courage to step on our mats and give
it a try. Not to mention the fact you’ll be part of a team
who’s 100% committed to producing winners.

So if you are serious about competing wouldn’t it make sense
to invest in a school that will provide you absolute best training
possible? Provide you with coaches that truly CARE about seeing
you not only win but DOMINATE your opponents? If you accept anything
less, you’re throwing your money away.

“Don’t Throw Your Cash In The Trash!”

Here’s another huge problem that many aspiring competitors
who just aren’t “in the know” run into.

The unfortunate people who haven’t done their homework to
find the right competition team to join oftentimes end up paying
for classes at inferior schools that don’t provide a serious
competitor what they need to win championships on a consistent basis.

They’ll pay to compete, but because they aren’t with
the right team, they get embarrassed, humiliated and leave the competition
feeling ashamed. That’s like throwing cash in the trash.

If you’re going to invest your time, money and energy into
becoming a real deal grappling competitor, why not you invest in
the best? If you live in the Maryland, Virginia and DC area then
the smart decision is right around the corner here at Lloyd Irvin’s
Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Camp Springs, Maryland.
