THEY LAUGHED WHEN I TOLD THEM I WOULD BE A CHAMPION IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MARTIAL ARTS, BUT THEY GOT QUIET WHEN I ACTUALLY DID IT, AND THEY'RE IN AWE THAT I'M STILL DOING IT

TODAY!!!

 

 

Are you interested in  MARTIAL ARTS?

BOXING, KICKBOXING, GRAPPLING, MMA?

For Self Defense

For Better Health

For a Sense of Security

For a Sense of Accomplishment and Satisfaction

 

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A WORKOUT TO

 

LOOSE WEIGHT

BUILD MUSCLE

REHAB SOME OLD INJURIES

BOOST YOUR ENERGY AND GIVE YOU LANCE ARMSTRONG ENDURANCE

 

 

Well if you’re interested in these things and want to learn:

 

PROVEN MOVES THAT REALLY WORK!!!

 

Learn the 2 things most schools and gyms fail to teach.  With these tools your abilities are GUARANTEED SKYROCKET!!!

 

  I know for certain these things work because they've worked form my athlete/fighters at the national and international level and has led them to victories and gold medals.  Now you might not be interested in competing buy you're probably interested in quality, and you probably want to know you're not learning from some one out of a bad karate or kung fu movie or someone who learned all their moves on youtube and watching the ultimate fighter.

 

  No I learned the old fashioned way, getting beat on the head, kicked in the legs, and choked from time to time.  But then I made a break through, or maybe my coach made a breakthrough and I finally got it.  And with "IT" I got:

 

Ø      World Kickboxing Association (WKA) North American Muay Thai Champion

Ø      4x World Kickboxing Association (WKA) North American Advanced Submission Grappling Champion

Ø      Grapplers Quest Advanced No Gi Submission Grappling Champion

Ø      2x Grapplers Quest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion

Ø      Tap Factor Champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion

Ø      Yamasaki Grappling Challenge Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion

Ø      2002 Stand Up Challenge Champion

 

 

Now wether you're interested in martial arts to compete, to learn something new, to learn to protect yourself, or to just have a great workout, get in shape and have fun for a little while then I think you'd like to have a Coach who can "deliver the goods" some one who can give you that extra push in the right direction to help you get where you want to be.

I have known Dave Carter for over six 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.

Submissions taken from various arts, grappling fight enders from standing, or on the ground from arts such as: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Submission Wrestling, Sambo, and Judo

 

Dave Carter, Lloyd "The Grappling Coach" Irvin, Ryan "Triangle" Hall

Celebrating another string of victories

 

 

So start today learning how to stop the most common attacks:

Punches

Kicks

Knees

Elbows

Takedowns – Put them down before they can do it to you

 

REMEMBER

 90% of fights end on the ground, but they don’t have to

 

 

 

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...

HOW TO THROW PUNCHES LIKE THIS!!!

 

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.

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_ _ _!!!

TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF AND SEE IF THIS MIGHT BE THE KIND OF TRAINING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN

 

When I first met David Carter I was 6'4", 280 lbs and had a size 44
waist. Through Dave's personal training methods, in both conditioning and Muay Thai, I have lost 60 lbs and almost 10 inches off my waist in just 6 months! His work outs really get the best out of you. Plus, Dave has accommodated my busy schedule and even trained me before sunrise just to make sure we stayed consistent. Through Dave's no-nonsense approach, I'm stronger, faster and fitter than ever.

COACH CARTER IN ACTION

             Now what I’ve done can be done by many, anyone can loose fat, tone up, and be the best they can be.  They can take the road I did, working out insanely, pulling muscles, and doing ridicules diets until I finally found the TRUTH.  I mean it wasn’t easy, I had to wade through all manner of BS (and I mean up to my neck in it) and I was getting it from supposed experts at the gym, in magazines, in books, and expensive seminars.  Well through it all I started noticing the common threads, things about diet, exercises, rest intervals.  You know, the TRUTH as to HOW THE BODY REALLY WORKS. 

 

REACH YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL!!!

FIND OUT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING!!!

 

Isn't it time to give yourself a chance, and take care of the one person you can never get away from???

 

 

 

Dave Carter's unique teaching methods have helped me greatly in both submission grappling and Thai boxing.  I have tried other programs in the past with limited success.  Before I came across Dave's system I wasted hours of training time without being able to take home hardly anything useful.  His ability to break down and teach techniques is remarkable.  His style of teaching focuses on understanding key principles that are applicable in a variety of situations.  Understanding these key principles will raise any student's learning curve  dramatically and help one learn in a logical manner.  Whether you are looking to fight in the ring, the cage, or the street, Dave Carter's fighting system is for you.

HOW MANY IS A VIDEO?

 

Here's a "Sneak Peak" at just a LITTLE of what we'll be doing (Most trainers won't do this because they think you'll run off now that you know the exercises, and inside secrets, but I know what takes them beyond ordinary, and which SPECIFIC ONES CAN TAKE YOU TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!!!)

AND KICKBUTT Take Names Cardio Training like you've never seen before

 

 

AND YOU'LL BE GETTING IN SHAPE FASTER THAN YOU THOUGHT POSSIBLE!!!

 

There are tons of ways to get in shape, you can get in shape in a gym, in your home, on a jogging trail, or in small hotel on the road, the only draw back is for every method there are the 100 or so pitfalls to watch out for, there's also FINDING THE WORKOUT FOR YOU.  We're not all the same, we don't look the same, and we don't like the same things, but we can all get the body we want if we use the METHOD FOR US not for the other guy.

 

We've all heard those stories about how a friend, relative or coworker went on the Atkins diet and lost weight, but we've also heard how it won't work for others, or maybe jogging twice a day, but maybe you're not a jogger, maybe bad knees or ankles,  so instead of groping around in the dark hoping to stumble onto the light.  If you're serious about making a change for the better in 2009 then I think you owe it to yourself to look into personal training. 

 

 

FIND WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU!!!

 

 

This is absolutely FREE, this is an offer you can't pass up IF YOU'RE SERIOUS about making 2009 the year for YOU.

 

INFORMATION THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

 

Coach Carter in MUAY THAI KICKBOXING ACTION!!!

This was a fight he took on only 2 weeks notice working 2 jobs at the SAME TIME!!!!

IMAGINE IF I'D REALLY PREPARED FOR IT!!!!

 

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.
