" I've worked out with World Class Freestyle Wrestlers, World Class Judo Players,
Top Notch Sombo Practitioners, Excellent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, No Holds Barred Fighters
and I can honestly say Lloyd Irvin is by far, the best grappler that I have worked with!!!
It has been a pleasure and a blessing to receive instruction from Lloyd. I am an
Elite Judo Player in the U.S. and Lloyd got me to that level by improving my newaza (groundwork) in such a fashion
that it has helped my Judo greatly. The main thing that I really like about Lloyd is that he doesn't try to change me. He refines my Judo in such a fashion that I can be effective in Judo matches, grappling matches, sombo matches, etc.
I've known Lloyd for 5 years and I can say that he is an excellent instructor, a great athlete, a student of the standup/groundwork game, and a very personable guy."

don’t do what they teach, I don’t want to learn from someone who won’t go out in front
of their student’s and do what they are teaching."

I joined for the exercise. As time went on, I lost weight
and learned how to defend myself."

Shifu Blake - Martial Arts Insructor

I was looking for something more realistic. Well, I’ve found it at USDC.
The techniques are simple, direct and very effective."
Will Brooks - Lorton Correctional Officer, Cell Extraction Team

I’ve learned are about angles and body position. The first time I reversed
a position on a 225-pound man I was amazed. Anyone can do this."
