Ever since Dana White brought the Ultimate Fighting Championship to world-wide fame, there has been an explosion in “Mixed Martial Arts” (MMA) schools. Some of these programs are run by qualified instructors in a professional environment; Unfortunately, most are not. In fact most MMA programs are…

Team Lloyd Irvin is the ONLY Mixed Martial Arts school to have fighters in the UFC. Here is Head Coach Lloyd Irvin with UFC Champion - Dominick Cruz
You’re going to come in and learn the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the Kickboxing, and Muay Thai and be ending fights left and right, on the feet and on the ground. Whatever your goals are in martial arts, at Crazy 88 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we’re are going to help you achieve these goals.
Every morning a Top Chef gets the BEST ingredients for the dishes that he is planning on making that night. He gets the freshest vegetables and the prime cuts of meat because he realizes that the WHOLE of the dish is build upon the strength of each individual piece.
You are going to be learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No Gi Grappling from the undisputed top team in the Baltimore Area (guess how many World Champions have come from the Baltimore Area outside of Crazy 88? – ZERO!).
You are going to be learning Muay Thai Kickboxing from striking coaches who all have real fighting experience and are training guys for pure striking matches as well as MMA. You can relax because this is what the coaches do FULL-TIME – they are not part-time pizza delivery guys teaching punching and kicking so they can pay their rent. They are PROFESSIONALS!
And best of all, you are going to be part of the top Mixed Martial Arts TEAM in the area. Only Team Lloyd Irvin has put fighters into the Ultimate Fighting Championships. Only Team Lloyd Irvin has produced a UFC Champion (135 lb UFC Champion – Dominick Cruz). There is no guesswork here about what it takes to be successful – we are going to put you on the path to MMA success whether you want to be the next UFC champion or just learn some *real* MMA fighting skills.
Put these pieces together and you are going to be in the best possible environment to train Mixed Martial Arts. It is absolutely insane that other Baltimore or Columbia gyms claim that they can produce a top Mixed Martial Arts fighter while having poor striking and weak grappling programs. It would be like a chef claiming he can make a World Class dinner with some dogfood, a rotten head of lettuce, and a campfire!
Thats what happens to most of our student! If you’re entirely new to martial arts, it is going to feel like learning a different language at first but as time goes on, you will feel yourself improving everyday, getting in shape, and learning new realistic fighting skills. GIVE OUR CLASS ONE DAY AND I’ll PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL FEEL LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS!
Do you remember that feeling when you wake up Christmas morning and rush into the living room to see all your presents and cant wait to tear them open. That is exactly how your going to feel about kickboxing, wanting to come in everyday and tear up the mats learning the best standup in the Baltimore Maryland area. Turning you into a complete martial artist on the feet and the ground.
