Keenan Cornelius leaves Team Lloyd Irvin

Wooo, I'm going to be working at the Boston Open for the day. Getting paid to watch my teammates compete as well as Keenan's first competition as a member of Atos? Score!

When asked, keenan wrote: “i don’t know how officially joining a team works but i don’t really want to jump into another team without really getting a feel for the coach. For obvious reasons. I do still need to register for competitions so i am asking professor galvao if i can do that for the boston open and pan.“

earlier this week, we have talked with andre galvão and guilherme mendes about the contact with keenan.

Gui told us that it was keenan who first got in touch: “i later called him and we talked a bit”, said mendes, making sure that at that point (last wednesday) nothing was 100% sure.

Galvão said almost the same thing: “he got in touch with me. I don’t know him personally very well but he seems to be a upright kid besides being obviously a very ggod athlete and competitor. If he complies with the rules of our team like everybody else, he will be very welcome to train with us.”

I don't want to believe someone is doing this to other people, but why when I look at Lloyd Irvin in the back on my head do I think, "You are a piece of shit." I hated him when I found out he charges $1,500 AN HOUR for private lessons. Royce Gracie only charges $300 for fucksake. Now I got an even bigger reason to not like this prick.

this guy just sounds like a con artist, amoral to the point of insanity. I thought this story was pretty much over a while ago when he finally posted up an apology and with such a lot of media control, i dont want to condemn without seeing physical proof. but if its at all true, even the tiniest bit, thats disgusting

And kyle i jsut checked heres the link

http://www.lloydirvin.com/adult/bjj/lessons.htm

its a minimum of $1500 for a private, its $1800 for an hour with leg locks and a ridiculous $2500 for combat jiu jitsu instruction. I shit you not.


from the website

Privates with Lloyd Irvin should be made at least 4-6 weeks in advance due to his schedule. If you are in town on a last minute notice you can call to see if any pre-scheduled time slots have opened up. There is no guarantee that you’ll be able to get a private lesson on short notice.
There are no volume discounts for private lessons. Week long intensive group trainings for private corporations start at $20,000.

this guy is seriously on an ego trip, sounds like he thinks he is god of all things jiu jitsu.

in support of that schultz guys thing i found this, mix those two together and it sounds pretty bad

theres pretty much a club that you have to go into if u want your black belt, and then there is a secret group inside the club called soldiers of submission. no details about it but if u have the desire to be a true champion, you have to join.


this just screams WRONG

haha my coach is a Brazilian dude, very open minded, super legit 2nd or 3rd degree black belt (Valmyr Neto VNteam/Checkmat) and I can get an hour private with him for like $50/$60. I know he is not as 'famous' as Lloyd Irvin, but Lloyd sure as shit couldn't show me $1500 worth of extra information than Neto in an hour. Plus Neto is an awesome dude and an incredible coach, and most importantly a decent human being that often puts his team before himself. That is a coach I want to be around. :-)

$1500-$2500 for a 1 hour private lesson is fucking crazy. :-)
