That video captured everything that was you displayed in the Academy that day. Heart, intensity, great technique, and the tremendous desire to take it to the next level. Great job brother, all the your hard work, discipline, and effort has paid off. You made us all proud.

Awesome Anthony! Tremendous job. You showed so much explosiveness in your techniques and I just love the way you gutted it out at the end.
My favorite part was the flower sweep that started as a tiny bud and grew very slowly (but surely) into a beautiful arm bar!
I’m inspired so now I am going to go workout.

Wow. That was an amazing demo. Now I can’t decide if I want to be like Becky, or like Anthony, when I grow up. Great job, Koko!

I had the great pleasure of training w/ Anthony in Iraq. I can honestly say he is a role model to follow and has one of the biggest hearts I’ve come across. He took on all shapes, sizes, and attitudes while there and did so with zero ego. Awesome display of persistence. Good luck and best wishes to all that train at your academy!

Awesome performance! I wish I had the opportunity to stay in Bend a few more days to watch your grading but I am very grateful to have been invited to the advanced class on the Tuesday before to experience some of it. Thank you and I hope to get a chance to roll with you the next time I’m in Bend.

Truly awesome, Anthony. Best sweeps of any demo and your knee-bar combos are pure art. Can’t wait to rejoin you and the crew on the mats.
