I have learned SO much from Dave, his fighting concepts from Submission grappling, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, or just basic Self Defense is revolutionary.  I have been studying martial arts for about 8 and a half years with top instructors and Dave has COMPLETELY changed and improved what I have learned about the concepts of ground fighting, and standup fighting, and the psychology of fighting in and out of the ring.  Dave knows his S_ _ _!!!

The primary focus of the class will be to teach each athlete to be able to attack and defend in any range of unarmed combat aka kicking range, punching range, clinching range, and grappling range. Each class will start with a warm-up and then drilling flowing from one technique to another to make the class a TRUE Mixed Martial Arts class and not just another No Gi Jiu-Jitsu class

 

CLASS FORMAT:

Warm up with solo exercises and partner drills

Drill Boxing/Kickboxing combination

Drill a take down series

Drill a ground follow up, weather it be submission, or simple positional change ie guard pass or sweep

 

Next is integrating all of the techniques from the boxing into the takedown and into grappling.

 

Finally some form of live sparring or rolling weather it be wrestling, boxing, isolated jab sparring, or takeown practice.

Dave Carter is BAD ASS!  Now that I got that out of the way, I'll explain why it's a fact...

I'm an IT consultant who travels often for work.  Since 2005 I've taken muay thai at 3 different schools to date. I met Dave when I began training muay thai at Team Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts in Arlington, VA in early 2006 and was immediately convinced he was the trainer I've been searching for all this time. 

My Muay Thai and conditioning has improved immensely after just a few short months of training with Dave.  Not only does he have a wealth of real world fight experience in and out of the ring, but he also possesses the ability to apply that knowledge to his students in a way that's easy to understand, learn and actually use.

Being a person that has been exposed to quite a few encounters outside of the ring, I was also interested in self defense techniques that might be more applicable for street situations.  Dave was able to deliver on this request in ways I would have never imagined. 

Dave was able to quickly provide real solutions to common situations I've had difficulty with in the past in a way that has my confidence skyrocketing.  He even has an arsenal of Dave Carter Originals that you won't find being taught anywhere else.  If have experience with any form of fighting, you'll immediately think "Wow, this guy knows his s__t!"  In fact, he's so in tune with the reality of fighting, he was able to anticipate many of my questions before I had a chance to ask them! 

You don't get results like this when you train with someone who learned from a video and/or has never been in the scenarios they're attempting to teach.

If you're interested in any form of fighting or self defense, do yourself a favor and schedule a session with Dave to find out what BAD ASS is all about.  I bet you won't be able to do just one session.

As a side note...  I've also evaluated 6-10 other schools since 2005 and can say that Team Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts in Arlington is top notch in every way.  If you're in the area, don't miss your chance to hookup with Dave and the other instructors at this school.

INSTRUCTOR/COACH:

DAVE CARTER


David Carter has trained in various martial arts for over 10 years ranging from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Savate Thai X-Training, Combat Submission Wrestling, Freestyle Wrestling, Jeet Kune Do Concepts, Filipino Martial Arts, Shooto, and Jun Fan Gung Fu among others, styles proven affective over the years on the street, and in such events as the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and it’s Japanese counterpart Pride FC.    A competitor and champion in several Kickboxing, Submission Grappling, and Mixed Martial Arts events, Dave has also battle tested all of his techniques in the REAL WORLD as a security specialist and consultant since 1997 when he started handling security for parties in college and was later asked to work all over DC and VA in clubs and bars for his Security, Personal Protection, and Resolution skills. With all of this he possesses a unique understanding of what works in the ring and what works on the street. 

As well as being a martial artist David has discovered what does and doesn't work inside the gym.  How to manage weight for competitions and for life, and get the utmost out of his training, and he brings that to his clients in a simple no nonsense manner that cuts to the root of the peoples problems and corrects them.

His students are from all walks of life from teenagers, college students, stay at home moms, software engineers, law enforcement, all branches of the military, the disabled and Senior citizens.

     Before I learned about Dave Carter's unique training methods I was wasting my time in the gym using bodybuilding routines which produced mediocre results.  All they gave me were muscles that were only for show and not for function.  When I began using Dave Carter's workout routines I immediately noticed improvement.  Not only did I build new muscle, but I had become noticeably faster, stronger, more explosive, and had increased endurance.  Now I'm at the point where I can do one legged squats with weights.  Something I would have never dreamed of before.  I owe many thanks to Dave Carter's remarkable training methods.

I have known Dave Carter for over three years now and since that time he has become a top level Mixed Martial Arts and Muay Thai Champion. What's more important is what he can do for you! Dave is one of the head coaches for Team Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts. He provides no-nonsense, REAL advice in learning how to handle a fight whether your standing or on the ground. His system is proven and he will keep you on your toes and demand results from you! Listen, there are lots of cheap advice and materials out there. The problem is nobody tells you how to use it. Its more of a shotgun approach with most Martial Arts Instructors. There's also plenty of expensive "take the cash" advice out there too. These can be expensive and a waste of your time in more ways than one. If you want advice that tells you like it is and the results that you deserve then I would urge you to look at Dave Carter's proven systems. If you want to ask me personally contact me anytime.

CELEBRATING A STRING OF VICTORIES WITH HIS ATHLETES!!!

 

 

    Dave Carter,  where should I begin to describe him.  It is very difficult to describe how amazing this man is both as a coach and a friend.  I have trained both in USA and internationally but I have never met or trained with anyone like Dave.  His style of training is truly unique and amazing.  He has taught me to become a very good competitive fighter .    I have trained with Dave and the technique he has provided me is just phenomenal.  Dave's training has taken my fighting (Muay Thai) into higher level, in fact, it has sky rocketed.   His techniques are very unique and very very very effective in fights.  I, myself, have used it in many of my fights and it is very effective.  I am emphasizing the word UNIQUE a lot, that's because only one thing comes in my mind when I hear Dave's name "his unique style of training fighters".  I am very glad that I have gotten a chance to train (Muay Thai) with Dave.  I like everything about Dave's training method but the best thing I like about his training is his unique style of explaining things (techniques) and he makes it very simple to understand.  If you are looking for a trainer for you, both competitive and recreational or for weight loss, self-defense or anything, Dave is not only right but perfect person to contact.  He will push you to the limit to get the result you want as he has done with me.  He will take your game to whole new level.    

 

Finally, I just want to say that in my dictionary fight, hard work, dedicated, amazing, unique, talented trainer etc.. (any kind) means Dave Carter.  Don't miss out in this...

Over the years I have trained in many sports ranging from motor cross, traditional martial arts to competitive body building and I have never meet a more dedicated and effective coach then Dave Carter.  Dave takes a personal interest in each and every ones of his clients success.   Dave is dedicated to ensuring that each of his student reach their full physical and mental potential.  Its easy to stand behind Dave and his systems because Dave stands behind each of his students regardless of their goals or levels.  I would and do recommend Dave Carter to anyone who wants to improve their fitness level, gain self confidence  or train in combat arts.
