Coach Anthony began his Jiu-Jitsu journey many years ago in California, where he trained at a high level, setting a standard for his practice. When he moved to Utah, he searched for a gym that reflected the traditional Jiu-Jitsu values he loved but couldn’t find the right fit. Frustrated, he stopped training for a time, but everything changed when he discovered Gracie Barra Orem. The academy reignited his passion and gave him the environment he had been seeking to continue his journey.

Outside of Jiu-Jitsu, Coach Anthony enjoys spending time with his dog, playing video games, and staying active at the gym. These hobbies keep him balanced and energized, complementing the discipline and focus he brings to the mats.

Coach Anthony’s message to students reflects his belief in the unique path each individual takes in Jiu-Jitsu. He encourages students to avoid comparisons, practice patience, and embrace their personal journeys. His experience and dedication make him a valued member of the Gracie Barra family, inspiring others to persevere and thrive.
