The competition team is preparing for the next leg of the 2013 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition season, and next on the docket is the prestigious NY Open. There are many regional tournaments held by the IBJJF, in cities such as Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and more. But New York remains one, if not the, toughest of all the cities.

Lloyd Irvin black belt and Paramount BJJ head instructor Brad Court made his return to competition this past weekend after almost 2 years off. The event was the IBJJF Pan American Jiu-Jitsu Tournament in Irvine, California- the largest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament in the world. This year’s event had 3,228 competitors!

Brad won his first match in the elimination rounds to advance to the quarterfinals, where he faced the 2012 IBJJF European Champion, Anderson Silverio da Silva. Brad defeated da Silva with a last second throw and armlock attempt. After coming up short in the semi-finals Brad finished with a Bronze medal.

Also from Paramount BJJ, blue belt Eric Desmarais won his first match at blue belt 2-0. In the 16-man round Eric won 8-0 and entered the quarterfinals. His opponent in the quarters would put a stop to Eric’s run, then go on to win the division.

Phil Mento made his International debut, winning his first by triangle and his second 11-0 before losing to the eventual champion in the 3rd round.

From Crazy 88 (Team Lloyd Irvin Baltimore), Al Washington took Gold at blue belt, Tim Spriggs took Gold at purple belt heavyweight, and Cathy Tran-Zwanetz took Bronze at blue belt. From Camp Springs Sijara Eubanks, Rachel Demara, and Keenan Cornelius all took Gold in their divisions.

Up next for the competition team is the IBJJF New York Open on April 21st.

Last weekend’s Grappler’s Quest World Championship tournament was the year-end event and the biggest of the East Coast Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and grappling tournaments.

Not surprisingly, Team Lloyd Irvin defended their title and came home with another trophy to sit beside all the individual medals earned. You can find the official results and team standings here.

What was somewhat surprising was the margin of victory. Team Lloyd Irvin collected a total of 375 points, while the runner-up and next closest team had just 178. Points are accumulated when each individual competitor medals, with points earned for Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

This weekend US Grappling will be holding their “Submission Only” event right here at the United Sports Training Center- home of Paramount Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The rules are simple- no time limit, no points. Two grapplers will square off and compete until one of them taps out and gives up. It’s a great way to test your Jiu-Jitsu skills, because the essence of BJJ is the submission.

Check out their website for more info on the event, and if you attend don’t forget to swing by Paramount and say hi. Click HERE for more info on our programs and our 30 Day FREE Trial.

Team Lloyd Irvin in UFC 132!

It’s the July 4th holiday weekend, but Team Lloyd Irvin has a job to do before any relaxation can take place. UFC Bantamweight Champion and Team Lloyd Irvin standout Dominic Cruz will defend his title against former WEC Champion Urijah Faber in the main event of Saturday’s UFC.

This is a grudge match for 2 reasons. Firstly, Faber is the only man to ever beat Dominic Cruz in Mixed Martial Arts, and although it was 4 years ago Dominick still has a chip on his shoulder. Secondly, for whatever reason they both dislike each other strongly.

Here is the main card for UFC 132: Cruz vs Faber:

UFC Bantamweight Championship
Dominick Cruz (No. 1 BW) vs. Urijah Faber (No. 3 BW)

Wanderlei Silva vs. Chris Leben
Brian Bowles vs. Takeya Mizugaki
Carlos Condit vs. Dong Hyun Kim
Brad Tavares vs. Aaron Simpson

Even the undercard is stacked, with names like Tito Ortiz, Ryan Bader, George Sotiropolous, Melvin Guillard and Matt Wiman among others.

It’s sure to be a great event, and I know everyone at Paramount will be pulling for their teammate Dominick Cruz to CRUSH Faber!
