Team Lloyd Irvin wins TWO Championship Belts and
2 Gold Medals

This past weekend Team Lloyd Irvin entered 2 adult competitors into the newly created EXPERT division at this years Nage Championship, dubbed "The Largest Grappling Tournament in the World"

Team Lloyd Irvin wins TWO Championship Belts and 2 Gold Medals

First was James Valentine who battled his way into the finals showing beatiful technique. In the finals he faced a very strong wrestler that had amazing balance. At the end of the match James was succesful at sweeping his opponent and maintaining the mount position.

At the end James had his hand raised in victory. Giving him the win and the HUGE Championship belt!

Our second competitor was Mike Fowler who also had some very tough matches working his way into the finals. Once again Mike prevailed in the finals winning a very difficult match on points. With his hand raised in victory this young kid could do nothing but smile. This victory secured another Championship belt for Team Lloyd Irvin.


Mike Fowler

Now where did the two medals come from?

Jose " The Pistol" Villirisco is the name. Jose less than a week after receiveing his BJJ Blue Belt went to the NAGA Championships competing in the No gi and his first ever Blue Belt division.

In the No Gi once again Mr. Jose was out weighed by everyone by at least 20 pounds. Just in case you don't know already Jose is only 118 pounds and can NEVER find an event that has his weight class so he always has to fight in the 139 pound division. Regardless Jose entered the No Gi division going for submission after submission, in one of the most bizaar scenes ever witnessed in submission grappling Jose and his opponent went for a flying armbar at the exact same time bumping heads and landing on the ground, everyone thought they were out but the kept fighting. After a few grueling matches Jose was in the finals where he fought the man that can do magic to videos, Belder from Belder Productions. This was a GREAT match as Belder showed his experience sweeping Jose with little time left, it looked as if the match was going to end until Jose started working Team Lloyd Irvin's signature triangle attack and before you know it he landed it for the submission.

Jose Brings home the GOLD in the No Gi.

Jose Brings home the GOLD
Next Jose fights in his very first Blue Belt Gi division. When he got to the event he found out that 2 of the competitors had beat him last year as a white belt and they beat him pretty good. All week he wanted to know how everyone thought he would do as a blue belt and he quickly found out having 2 major epic battles with his opponent from Alliance where he was going for sweeps, brabo chokes and more. His first match as a Blue belt he wins 7*2. In the Finals he faced a tough Renzo Gracie blue belt, this match was VERY close and in the end Jose won 4*2 giving him the GOLD medal and the title 139 pound 2003 NAGA Blue Belt Champion.


Way to go everybody. Keep up the good work.

Team Lloyd Irvin results Virginia Beach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships October 5, 2003

Phil Proctor wins Purple belt Open Division.

Mike Fowler continues his win streak in the purple belt division tapping all of his opponents.

Remember Mike has only had his purple belt a few months now.

Mr. Jose moves up two weight divisions fighting guys 30 pounds heavier and brings home the GOLD.

Brandon Vera shows he's going to be a force at the COPA November 1, 2003.

Even in our losses we had some GREAT learning experiences. Can't wait for the next one.

Here are the rest of the results of last weeks BJJ tournament:

Greg Leary - Fought a really tough 1st round match, but lost by points

Rafa haha - took GOLD Medal

Jose Villarisco - excellent flying armbar attempt- GOLD Medal

Charles King - 1st white belt by armbar. GOLD Medal

Brandon Vera - 1st all by submission GOLD Medal

Mike Fowler - 1st all by submission GOLD Medal

Phil Proctor - 1st in the absolute after losing first round of his division...CONGRATS PHIL!!!!!! GOLD Medal

Brian O'Conner - lost tough first match

Albie - 1st by submission GOLD Medal

TC - 2nd place one submission

Master Paul Greenhill - lost a tough first round match, but look out for him at the future tournaments, he was fighting with the younger guys in this one, when he didn't have to, and in my opinion, he's going to take those divisions soon.

James Valentine - won his first match and lost the second on points.

Jared Weiner - rough day this was, he was defending a take down and knee popped loud as can be. he will be back in no time, he's had injuries worse than this one, i cant see anything short of a train wreck stopping Jared from doing jiu-jitsu.

I think I covered everyone and forgive the spelling because I am rushing. I apologize if I didn't put you in here, so e-mail me if I forgot you.

Next stop the COPA November 1, 2003.

It's rumored that our BIG GUN Brad Court will be representing at the COPA. .

Team Lloyd Irvin's Brandon Vera WINS
Vale Tudo Event Remains Undefeated.

Brandon Vera

Brandon Vera

In Ohio's Reatlity Combat Bradon Vera had a NHB match and it was his first time fighting in a steel cage. His weight division was 220lb but his opponent didn't show up and he ended up fighting 250 lb Purple Belt Don Richards from Team Caique.

Brando started the fight off with a BIG body suplay but he threw his opponent into the fence and he bounced back on top landing in the mount. Brandon escaped the mount position working his way off of the fence back to the feet. They traded some more shot then Brandon took the fight to the ground.

Brandon maintained good positioning where he landed great shots. The fight went like this both rounds with Brandon winning a unanimous victory.

This was a really well ran event that looked like a smaller pride show because of the set up. Celebrities like Mark "The Hammer" Coleman was in the house.

CONGRATS BRANDON

Look for BIG things from Brandon in the near Future.

Mike Fowler wins GQ World Championships- 4 fights 4 submissions



Grappling Quest World Championships
September 13, 2003

MIke Fowler Mike Fowler who is just about to hit the 2 year training mark. Mike Fowler could very well fight in the intermediate divisions because of his time in but he doesn't

Mike Fowler won the men's adv. 159 lb division of the Grappler's Quest World Championships this weekend. Mike won all four of his matches by submission.

Brabo choke, rear naked choke and two triangles. In the finals he fought a very experienced and talented BJJ Brown Belt namedKeith Florian from Boston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, finishing him
in under a minute.

We can't begin to explain how big of a deal this is for Mike because Keith is REALLY good, he has placed in the Pan Ams as a Purple Belt and a Brown belt. He has been training Jiu-Jitsu as long as Master Lloyd has. Mike has been on cloud nine ever since. When you see him I bet he'll still have that BIG smile on his face.

 

 Sept 12th , 2003:

Master Lloyd promotes his very first Black Belt in BJJ.

Jared Weiner becomes the very first student to receive a Black Belt in BJJ under Master Lloyd Irvin. Jared received this great honor on September 6, 2003 in front of all of his Team Members from around the East Coast and 5 other Black Belts. We're sure he'll continue to represent like he's always done CONGRATS JARED!

Jared highlighted and finished his Brown Belt days becoming the American National Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion winning the first ever American National BJJ tournament in California.

Jared Weiner

Just weeks ago Jared fought in a Brown belt superfight against a Brazilian Top Team student under Jorge Gurgel winning 9*0.

Once again congrats Jared. This is a HUGE accomplishment.

Popovitch vs. Avellan- Popovitch wins 4-2

D'arce vs. Dalla- Dalla wins 0-0

Monson vs. Hernandez- Monson wins 4-0

Total For First Round: ATT wins 4-1 over FFA

Irvin wins 3-2 over Renzo's

Second Round

Ives vs. Cardosa- Cardosa wins 0-0 JD

Parrumpinha vs. Weiner- Parrumpinha wins JD

Avellan vs. Williams- Avellan wins 2-0

Ruiz vs. D'arce- D'arce wins 2-1

Boca vs. Dalla- Dalla wins 2-2 JD

Avellan vs. Mordente- Avellan wins 6-0 (Not 100% on point total).

Monson vs. Ferguson- Monson wins 2-0

Alvarez vs. Hernandez- Alvarez by keylock

FFA takes third place beating Renzo's 3-2.

After 4 matches ATT and Lloyd Irvin are tied 2-2. The Irvin Amaury match was skipped due to Lloyds injury. Because the prize money was substantial ($5000 for 1st and $2500 for 2nd) Lloyd asked to fight. The doctor refused his request.

After discussing the situation, ATT fighters and coaches refused a victory by forfeit and offered to split the first place and the prize money. We have nothing but respect for a guy who is in his first competition since breaking his neck last year and still wants to fight despite being unconscious an hour earlier. We do not want Lloyd's warrior spirit to get in the way of common sense and lead to injury. Irvin's team accepted ATT's offer and in a show of gratitude, Lloyd handed the first place trophy to Liborio and ATT at the award ceremony.

One other note. Just want to mention the sportmanship displayed by Jared Weiner of Irvin's team. His match with Parrumpinha ended 0-0. Parrumpinha controlled the match and hit a takedown that the referee later admitted he missed and wasn't awarded points for the mount position b/c the ref did not believe he held position long enough. No criticsm of the reffing it is a thankless job and its impossible to get it perfect. Anyway, there was a long discussion amongst the 3 sets of judges b/c one claimed he didn't want to decide against Weiner out of freindship even though if pressed for a decision, he would give it to Parrumpinha. When Weiner saw what was happening he immediately told Kipp Kollar that he clearly lost the fight and took it out of the judges hands. You do not see that type of honor in any sport very often and we were happy to return the favor when the issue later arose concerning Lloyd's condition. Congrats to everyone who competed. It was a great event.

 

Master Lloyd is awarded "The 2002 United States Judo Federation International Coach of the Year" award!

Master Rhadi is awarded "The 2002 United States Judo Federation International Player of the Year" award!
