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.

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.

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.
