JT “Spiderman” Torres Becomes The First Non Brazilian To Medal At Brazilian Nationals In The Black Belt Lightweight Division(Widely Considered The Toughest Division In Brazil) And Second Non Brazilian To Medal At All(Black Belt) Team Lloyd Irvin Becomes The First American Team To Produce A Black Belt Medalist At The Brasileiro
Team Lloyd Irvin’s own JT “Spiderman” Torres makes history getting the silver medal at the 2010 Brazilian Nationals. JT Submitted his first four opponents before losing in the finals to Gilber Burns by 2 advantags, the score was 4*4.
Below is a video of JT Torres vs. Lucas Lepri. This match would decide who would make it into the medal round. JT has already lost to Lucas twice in NO Gi 2-0 both times and once in the GI 5-2 at the most recent Pan Ams.
We’ve been studying his game, working on game plans, working on counters to his counters he used at the Pan Ams and JT played a perfect game to get a victory over one of the best bjj guys in the business. Jt’s comments at the end of the video were not directed at Lucas or at Allliance, rather JT’s emotions spilled out at some of his haters saying that he wasn’t on the level of a Lucas Lepri even though everyone at Team Lloyd Irvin knew he was. But what we knew didn’t matter until JT could prove it in competition and with under 1 year as a black belt JT put the World on notice that he’s the real deal win or lose!
PS. Please forgive the horrible video, I had to film, keep time and coach at the same time. We had problems getting the visa in time for our guy that normally shoots video for us. We had another guy competing at the same time so this is what you got! Thanks for understanding

Always good to see something, but worst framing and pan to empty mat/guard rail ever!
Outstanding job JT very nice work
Way to go JT…huge win!!
Awesome job! But seriously…fire your camera man!
Sick Video Master Lloyd. I want to be the first LLoyd Irvin school out in the hamptons. What up with the blueprint online Master Lloyd??. Mad ups JT!!!!
Class act as always. I got to get up to DC and train with you guys. I don’t compete, but I’d sure like to up my game. There will always be haters, use them as fuel for your fire. There’s 10 times more people that love you than hate you, so spend 10 times the energy on the fans. Good luck to all of Team Lloyd Irvin!
I’ll give you free lessons on how to keep the camera on the subject when you’re crazy with excitement if you teach me how to pass guard like that.
Congrats to JT! Enormous win over a big name opponent. At the end, when Torres was getting his hand raised, Lepri was either hurt or dejected. He didn’t look hurt, and I wonder if by winning here, JT will now elevate his game and reputation to another level.
Lloyd Irvin and JT, Congratulations to you Both! And thank you very much for sharing the video. I feel like I was a part of it since I helped finance your trip to Brazil by buying your videos! – Steve from Kansas
