Tony is the owner and head instructor at New England BJJ Academy, where he has dedicated his time and effort to teaching martial arts. His journey into the world of martial arts began back in early 2008, but some might argue that the foundation of this journey was laid while he proudly served in the Air Force as a Military Police officer. For over 15 years, Tony has wholeheartedly committed himself to exploring the various disciplines within the martial arts realm. In 2021, he achieved a significant milestone in his career as he received his black belt from the esteemed Master Julio “Foca” Fernandez. Tony is known for teaching an extensive array of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Thai Kickboxing techniques, always delivering his instruction in a clear and safe manner. He takes great pleasure in helping his students build their confidence and achieve their personal goals, both on and off the mat. Tony firmly believes that self-defense is the most critical aspect of any martial art, and he emphasizes this in his teachings. His passion for training and dedication to his craft are truly contagious, making him an excellent and inspiring instructor in both programs he offers.
