AMERICAN GRAPPLING CHAPIONSHIPS
November 8,9, 2003
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"
|
|
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.

Brandon

Even
in our losses we had some GREAT learning

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.

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

Look for BIG things from Brandon in the near Future.

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.

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.
