FIST-ta-CUFF Radio Show 103: Team Lloyd Irvin TAKEOVER

This show is going to sweep you of your feet and end up mounting you and making you tap from every direction. This show we take things to the mat and all I can say is I hope you’re ready to roll. This show is all Team Lloyd Irvin and the show is stacked with two guys who are tearing up the world in Jiu-Jitsu. We have a Hulk back in the house, ready to chop it up and last but not least the man who is teaching them all, and putting out beasts like he has a machine.

Our first guest Jimmy Harbison is the only man in Team Lloyd Irvin history to win the “Grand Slam!” of Jiu-Jitsu. Okay you may be asking what is the grand slam of Jiu-Jitsu. Jimmy Harbison ripped up the 2011 IBJJF tournament season winning the 2011 European Jiu-Jitsu Championships, the 2011 Pan American Jiu-JitsuChampionships, 2011 Brazilian Nationals in Rio De Janeiro Brazil, and was crowed the 2011 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt World Champion. Okay if you don’t realize how bad that is, like I said he is the first person in Team Lloyd Irvin history to do it! Jimmy also just recently received his Black Belt from Master Lloyd Irvin. We will have plenty to talk to Jimmy about. Get ready to be introduced to one of the world’s toughest guys on the mat.

The rest of the show after the jump…..

Our next guest is a superhero on the mat and has no problem taking your back, hence his nickname being Spiderman! JT “Spiderman” Torres was the first Non Brazilian to medal at Brazilian Nationals In the Black Belt Lightweight Division(widely considered the toughest division in Brazil) and the second non Brazilian to medal at all(Black Belt). JT received his nickname due to the crazy grip he posses, teammates say it’s similar to a spider grabbing its prey in its web. JT not only has his Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu, but he was a Karate Black Belt before he ever started his ground game. Had it not been for JT being cut from his High School basketball team we might not have seen Spiderman own Jiu-Jitsu at such a young age. I mean JT did get his blue belt in six months. Wait till we talk to JT and allow him to talk about his journey. Follow JT on Twitter at @JTorresBJJ

You want The Hulk, we will give you the Hulk! Mike “The Hulk” Easton is back on the show and believe that we can’t wait to talk to one of the baddest Bantamweights in the world. With Mike being a Black Belt under Master Lloyd Irvin you would expect him to be a submission artist and most of his wins by way of submission, but you would be wrong. Mike got his nickname cause he is super strong and the man has a right hand like no other fighter in the Bantamweight division worldwide. We will talk to Mike about the responsibility that comes with being a Lloyd Irvin Black Belt and when he is looking at getting back into action. Mike has been out of action over a year and I can only imagine the man is itching to get back into the cage and lay hands on people.

Our last guest is a man who has cemented his name in the world of Jiu-Jitsu. He is regarded as one of the best if not the best Jiu-Jitsu instructor in the US. The best part about Lloyd is that he doesn’t just have his own credentials to stand on, but he has created a system that produces beast such as our three above guests. Did I also mention that his other students include Phil Davis, Dominick Cruz, Muhsin Corbbrey, and Brandon Vera. (Trust and believe his students are bad. These aren’t even his Black Belts) Lloyd Irvin will give us more to talk about then we can put into a thirty minute segment from the man who broke into his house being found guilty on Monday of this last week, his school and the guarantees that he puts out with a membership, how he can get someone a Black Belt in 3 ½ years, his MMA Millionaire Club, and much more. Remember this man was the World Nogi Champion (2008 Senior 1), Gracie Open Champion (1997), Brazilian National Teams 2nd Place (1999). Master Lloyd has more than a few black belts (5th Degree Black Belt in Thai Jitsu, 1st Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, 2nd Degree Black Belt in Combat Sombo, 1st Degree Black Belt in Judo, 1st Degree Black Belt in BCG.) and did we need to add that he also was the first and only African American in the World to receive a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Master Lloyd is one of only three Non-Brazilians to ever receive a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt in Brasil. In 1999 Master Lloyd Irvin became the first American to ever defeat a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt in Brasil. Oh let me add that three days before this win, he had just got his Brown Belt, so Do I need to say that we have plenty to talk to him about. Follow Master Lloyd on twitter at @lloydirvin
