"For Anyone Near Annapolis I Highly Recommend Training With Danny Ives."
His instruction helped put me way ahead of all other jiu jitsu practicioners with the same amount of experience allowing me to get my blue belt in just 13 months. With him as my coach I placed 3rd in the NAGA No-gi worlds fighting 12 times and placed 1st in White Belt and 2nd in the Open at the BJJ United tournament in Philly. Even today as a Blue belt I still find myself going over my notes from his classes. He also has a geniune care for his students as we continue to keep in touch. For anyone near Annapolis I highly recommend training with Danny Ives. Trey Wiggins |

Don't Confuse Us with Other "MMA" Gyms
At
Team Lloyd Irvin, we teach REAL Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and
Self-Defense. While we do specialize in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we also
have have classes that focus on Muay Thai Kickboxing and wrestling.
Now don't confuse us with other "MMA" gyms... most gyms that claim to teach MMA are really just grapplers that fight.
What do I mean by that?
There are many incredible jiu-jitsu grapplers that have never done a
day of formal kickboxing in their life! And they have such a confidence
in their martial arts style, that they are willing to fight in MMA
competitions - yet have never trained with proper coaching in striking.
So now in their own gyms, when they are preparing for their fight, they
engage in sparring sessions... what sort of quality striking can you
expect? To each their own... I have no problem with that... my problem
is when these same guys start advertising themselves as Mixed Martial
Arts schools... well, it is not MY problem... it is YOUR problem if you
join up with them!
Mixed Martial Arts, or fighting in general, can be grouped into three areas:
1) Striking (i.e. Muay Thai kickboxing)
2) Takedowns (i.e. wrestling)
3) Ground Grappling (i.e.Brazilian jiu-jitsu)
Sadly, most "MMA" schools are severely lacking proper training and credentials in all three groups
... you may find a head instructor that is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt but has no credentials in kickboxing or wrestling (even worse, sometimes they don't even have credentials in Jiu-Jitsu!)
...or you will find a gym with talented strikers but no jiu-jitsu black belt present
... or often you will find a "MMA" school that doesn't have an expert in any of the three areas I just described! A jack of all trades but a master of none!
At Team Lloyd Irvin, we teach 3 styles of fighting, BJJ, Muay Thai kickboxing, and Wrestling. We will break down all three systems and help you to put them together so that you can be a truly complete Martial artist.
"If I Had To Choose One Word To
Describe Danny Ives It Would Be Excellence."
If I had to choose one word to describe Danny Ives it would be excellence. I have trained under Danny Ives for over a year and his approach of striving to be the best you can be is contagious. Whether he is teaching, training, or competing, Danny Ives always works with the intention of doing his best. Danny is a very genuine human being who wants not only the best for himself, but the best for those associated with him. Care for students, friends, and family is always a priority of his. Furthermore, he creates an outstanding atmosphere for learning which can be attributed to his exceptional character and positive attitude. If you are looking to be the best grappler, MMA fighter, or just get in the best shape of your life, Danny Ives is the man for the job.

Anyone Can Start Training
A lot of people assume that grappling is WAY TOO HARD
and are hesitant to give it a try. This is the furthest thing from the
truth. Actually it's pretty funny. It's a misconception. I guess some
people think that if they come to learn that someone is going to throw
them into the Ultimate Fighting Championship. WRONG!
The
first thing is that Grappling and MMA is fun and that don't need any
previous experience to do it or to get good at it. Anyone can do it,
small, big, young or old, doesn't matter. Our instructors will teach
you and develop a style that works best for you.We have men and women
of all ages that practice BJJ, Thai boxing and wrestling. I have one
student that is 62 years old! And don't be fooled by his age, he is a
great fighter and outlasts many of my 22 year olds.
It's never too late to start training.
The average age of our adult program is about 27 years old, with a
bunch of students over age 40. Absolutely no experience is required to
begin your training.
You have never done a day of exercise in your life? No
problem! You do not have to be in shape to begin training at our
academy - most people who begin are not. At Lloyd Irvin MMA, our
instructors have years of specialized training in physical fitness,
along with their martial arts expertise, and will develop a program
specifically designed for you. We have helped MANY students lose weight
and get into shape.
Our system of martial arts and self-defense has been proven time and time again by our instructors and students. Our instructors don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk, we have utilized our techniques in the cage and on the mats - at the national and international level.
The
difference between joining our academy and other academies is that with
us, you know that the techniques we are teaching you work - since we
have applied them before in actual No Hold Barred fights and in
Grappling tournaments.

"Just
Six Months After the DC School Opened, Danny Encouraged Us To Take Part
In A Few Tournaments. Literally All Of Us Who Competed Came Back With
Medals!"
|
"I'm Confident That In
As Little A Few Months He Can Change Anyone's Entire Game To Be More
Efficient, Technical, And Competitive..." It is my pleasure to recommend Danny Ives to anyone looking for a top notch grappling instructor. I have known Danny for over ten years and remember him starting Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as a teenager. At that time he was too small and young to overpower the grown men he was training with on a daily basis and a result he constantly came up with innovative solutions to positions in order to compete with larger, stronger, older competitors. I believe that this process made him a very technical Jiu-jitsu fighter and helped him develop a mind that analytically looked at positions and tried to find the easiest way to get them to work. Danny takes that same approach to teaching grappling and uses a unique instructional format in order to maximize his students' results. I ran a submission wrestling club at Lehigh University for over 5 years and during that time Danny often brought his students up to my club to work out. I can honestly say that I was consistently impressed with the technical level of his students and the improvements they continuously made while training with him. I cannot recommend Danny enough as a teacher and I'm confident that in as little a few months he can change anyone's entire game to be more efficient, technical, and competitive for today's intense competition circuit.
