Off the Mats Podcast #282- Full Circle feat. Danny Ives

Host Jake Dante reconnects with his former coach, Danny Ives, the founder of Ivey League MMA in Maryland. In this episode, they explore the evolution of Ives’ martial arts journey—from his early days training in the 1990s to building a thriving academy that shaped hundreds of grapplers across the region.

They discuss the birth of Ivey League MMA, how the local Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA community has evolved, and the lasting lessons that martial arts teach beyond competition. Danny also opens up about what it takes to run a successful gym, mentor young athletes, and maintain balance as both a coach and lifelong student of the art.

It’s a full-circle conversation filled with insight, humor, and respect between two people whose paths crossed on the same mats years ago.

Topics Covered:

  • The founding and growth of Ivey League MMA

  • Danny Ives’ martial arts background and influences

  • Coaching philosophies and teaching kids

  • Lessons in leadership, discipline, and longevity in BJJ
