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

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.
