When It Comes to Mixed Martial Arts Training
BUYER BEWARE!

Everyone teaches MMA or Mixed Martial Arts, but FEW are qualified. Do your research!

Ever since Dana White brought the Ultimate Fighting Championship to world-wide fame, there has been an explosion in “Mixed Martial Arts” (MMA) schools. Some of these programs are run by qualified instructors in a professional environment; Unfortunately, most are not. In fact most MMA programs are…

  • Renamed Karate or Traditional Martial Arts schools. One day the sign reads Maryland KungFu and Karate and the next day it reads Maryland Mixed Martial Arts.
  • Traditional Martial Arts schools offering a watered-down form of real MMA training. While this is definitely more honest than just renaming the school, these programs do not have the experience or instructors to provide real MMA training.
  • Martial Arts as Fitness Franchises that hire anyone off the street to run a Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian Jiujitsu, or Kickboxing program. This is a great approach for the franchise owner because if the program stinks – no problem – he can just fire the instructor and start from scratch. This is not-so-great for individuals looking for a solid consistent training environment.
  • A bunch of tough guys and street fighters renting a hole-in-the-wall with no real experience competing or training beginners. Be careful if you train or are considering training in a place like this – make sure you have health insurance and know your own limitations.

What Makes Us Different?

  1. Qualified Instructors. All our instructors have competitive experience in their specialty – whether it be Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts, or Muay Thai Kickboxing. We know what it takes to win and we want to teach it to you!
  2. Unparalleled Pedigree. Team Lloyd Irvin remains the only Maryland Mixed Martial Arts program to produce fighters at the HIGHEST level of competition – the Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Extreme Cagefighting (for fighters under 155 lbs).
  3. A System that Works for Everyone! You do not need to to be a Division 1 wrestler or Golden Gloves champion to be successful here. Most Team Lloyd Irvin fighters are trained in house and are not recruited from the outside.
  4. Carefully Designed Sequence of Competitions. We will build you up and give you the experience and skills necessary to succeed at every level, from beginner to professional fighter. Unlike many other programs, we do not throw our guys into the meat grinder just for experience. We also are not content to have our competitors fighting in the back of nightclubs and other “bush league” events.

What does a World Class Chef have do with YOUR Mixed Martial Arts Training?

Every morning a Top Chef gets the BEST ingredients for the dishes that he is planning on making that night. He gets the freshest vegetables and the prime cuts of meat because he realizes that the WHOLE of the dish is build upon the strength of each individual piece.

You are going to be learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No Gi Grappling from the undisputed top team in the Baltimore Area (guess how many World Champions have come from the Baltimore Area outside of Crazy 88? – ZERO!).

You are going to be learning Muay Thai Kickboxing from striking coaches who all have real fighting experience and are training guys for pure striking matches as well as MMA. You can relax because this is what the coaches do FULL-TIME – they are not part-time pizza delivery guys teaching punching and kicking so they can pay their rent. They are PROFESSIONALS!

And best of all, you are going to be part of the top Mixed Martial Arts TEAM in the area. Only Team Lloyd Irvin has put fighters into the Ultimate Fighting Championships. Only Team Lloyd Irvin has produced a UFC Champion (135 lb UFC Champion – Dominick Cruz). There is no guesswork here about what it takes to be successful – we are going to put you on the path to MMA success whether you want to be the next UFC champion or just learn some *real* MMA fighting skills.

Put these pieces together and you are going to be in the best possible environment to train Mixed Martial Arts. It is absolutely insane that other Baltimore or Columbia gyms claim that they can produce a top Mixed Martial Arts fighter while having poor striking and weak grappling programs. It would be like a chef claiming he can make a World Class dinner with some dogfood, a rotten head of lettuce, and a campfire!
