Lloyd Irvin was introduced to Martial Arts at the tender age
of 3, being initiated through Tae Kwon Do. As he progressed in life, he also
wrestled (which he started in 1983). By the time he hit college, however, he
left martial arts aside to move on to more standard sports. It was only years
later, after watching UFC I that the martial arts bug started growing again
within Lloyd. Lloyd Irvin is the head coach of one of the most successful
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools in the United States. Irvin managed to become a
famous figure within the BJJ community, yet somewhat of an outcast. In any
case, Lloyd Irvin has earned his place in Jiu-Jitsu having successfully brought
up the games of remarkable competitors such as JT Torres, James Harbison, and
Mike Fowler. His team has also medaled in some of the most recognized
tournaments in the world, being the first American Academy in BJJ history to
truly and consistently make a mark in the sport.

Lloyd Irvin decided to come back to martial arts, although
there weren’t many places to train jiu-jitsu in his native Maryland. Lloyd
tried to move to California, where BJJ was already growing, but the exorbitant
prices of the local clubs led him to give up on the idea. Irvin returned to
Maryland and there, at a local Karate tournament, he met a man wearing a Gracie
Jiu-Jitsu t-shirt who would change his life forever, his name was Brian Welsh.
Lloyd instantly established contact with Brian who practiced BJJ with his
friends (without proper instruction) twice a week, and welcomed Irvin to join
him, an invitation he gladly accepted.
