Eric “Grits and Gravy” Davis is promoted to Blue Belt.

Congratulations to Ivey League’s very own Eric “Grits and Gravy” Davis for his promotion to Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Eric joins an elite group of athletes at Severna Park/Annapolis area’s most accomplished MMA gym. A blue belt is a great achievement for students at Team Lloyd Irvin as our promotions must be earned through dedicated training, hard work, and a positive, never-give-up attitude!

Eric earned his blue belt after two years of training with no prior experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and No-Gi grappling. He has competed at competitions across the region and won at several events including Submission Only US Grappling and has also fought and won in MMA. He also trains in muay thai kickboxing and mixed martial arts. Coach Danny realized it was Eric’s time after repeated demonstrations by Eric of his talents in BJJ. He has come a long way and is deserving of this great honor, congratulations again! We also thank the Team Lloyd Irvin students who are excellent training partners for Eric and all the instructors that have helped him on his journey.
