The true testing grounds on my theories on recovery were during the 2007 Paris Brest Paris
a ride that is done in france for over one hundred years covering over
760 miles only stopping for food a few hours sleep. It was cold rainy
and one person died and 1000 people dropped out. I would not have
finished with out the help of my friends Dave and Justin
Not a pretty picture but what do you expect after 760 miles and 3 hours of sleep!
There were so many countries that had riders that qualified it was like untied nations.
I was so glad to see this sign.
I started working with Team Loyd Irvin
a number of years ago. I already had a great deal of experience with
fighters from my backround in boxing, so I was able to help them with
any injuries. I have to say they are some of the nicest atheletes that
I have ever worked with. I find that funny because they can basically
take me out in a 1 o
r 2 seconds! Master Loyd Irvin's
journey of the martial arts began at the age of 3. Master Lloyd was the
first African American in the World to receive a Black Belt in
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Master Lloyd is one of only three Non-Brazilians
to ever receive a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt in Brasil. In 1999,
Master Lloyd Irvin became the first American to ever defeat a Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt in Brasil. What makes this even more amazing was
that Master Lloyd just received his brown belt 3 days prior. After this
amazing victory Master Lloyd had a feature story written about him the
World Famous Gracie Magazine in Brasil.

The first student I met of Master Lloyd was Mike Fowler a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu phenom.
I have also worked with Brandon Vera , another great guy who has been fighting in MMA since 2002.I have been working with boxers since very
early on in my career when I became the team doctor and cutman for
Keystone boxing and since then I think I have worked with almost every
fighter out the Washington D.C. area and we have some great ones. This
was a great introduction to sports chiropractic.
