On Saturday, October 8th 2011 Ivey League MMA had one of the best showings ever in a grappling tournament. We took a nice little squad down to the Naga event in Landover, MD and walked away with a rack of medals. Many of our students that won were first time competitors on the grappling circuit, which made it even better.
Team Lloyd Irvin academies from all over the Maryland, DC and Virginia areas came together to help in the effort, yes you could say we dominated. The academies that brought teams were:
- Team LI’s main academy in Camp Springs, MD (Run by Master Lloyd Irvin)
- Crazy 88 in Elkridge, MD (Run by Julius Park)
- Ivey League MMA in Annapolis, MD (Run by Danny Ives)
- Leo Dalla BJJ in Woodbridge, VA (Run by Leo Dalla)
- Beta Academy in Washington DC (Run by Nak Phengapham)
- Top Flight MMA in Aberdeen, MD (Run by Ron Stallings)
- Evolve Academy in Rockville, MD (Run by Mike Moses)
All the teams brought both adults and kids to come out and compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Nogi grappling. We all had a great time and it was good to see everyone out there, including other local BJJ teams.
