Best Martial Arts and Combat Sports Classes in Centreville, VA

Well with my method we begin with the end in mind and that means goals, we all have them for one reason or another whether it's to lose weight for a tournament, to fit into those old clothes again, or so you can show off at the beach, or just to get off the couch. With our sessions we analyze what your goals are and come up with a logical and organized plan to get them. A session can vary from day to day, we might be doing kickboxing for a few sessions then get into how to turn those same techniques into self defense moves if the need arrive, you might realize you're leaning up but now you want to put some size on those legs or arms or take some away from you belly so we'll incorporate more weight or strength training to make sure you get the results you want. But above all else during a session IT'S YOUR TIME. I'm simply a guide if you want to train like a UFC champ one day, AWESOME, if you realize some old injury is holding you back then we'll attack that injury with same intensity. No matter the barrier we can over it, around it, under it, or straight through it.

I do things a little differently where the first 10 sessions or so are usually close to a hour and a half long if not more. I do this to ensure a strong foundation. I'd rather spend an extra 20 minutes or half hour with someone so they understand a concept, ie defense, punch, kick, squat, throw or other movement, rather than rushing them through a hour long session and having that person leave confused which will then mess up the next session. I see my purpose is to make sure you "get it", otherwise I see it as wasting your time. When you come back for the next session I want you to be ready mentally and physically!

Private, Semi Private, Small group sessions are available at Nova MMA/Team Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts and Fitness First in Arlington right by the Court House metro stop, at Lloyd Irvin's Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Camp Springs Maryland, and also at the Fitness First Chain of gyms Located in Virginia, DC, and Maryland. I also offer at home training as an additional option so there's no excuse for not reaching your goals.

Honestly I like to think I teach proper eating habits more than anything. I do give specialized diets to maximize my clients/athlete's goals but I know we are all people and baked fish, yams, and spinach get old after a while so I focus on making sure you understand "What you put in, is what you get out!" With that in your mind it makes it MUCH easier to make healthy food decisions that will benifit your life. I will show you how to make healthy food choices at home, at work, on the run, and on vacation (because those are the KEY areas where so many people fall)
