He recognizes the importance of taking care of one's physical well-being and maximizing performance through proper nutrition and strategic approaches to the body. This interest reflects his holistic approach to personal growth and well-being.
Anthony's decision to start training in Arakan stemmed from his desire for self-defense. He understood the importance of being able to protect himself and loved ones in an increasingly unpredictable world. However, as he continued his training, he discovered that Arakan offered much more than just self-defense. It became a vehicle for personal development and self-improvement, both physically and mentally.
Driven by his own transformative journey, Anthony was invited to become an Arakan Martial Art Instructor to share the profound impact of the art with others. He believes that every individual has the potential to grow and flourish through Arakan, and he is committed to guiding and empowering his students along their own paths.
As an instructor, Anthony looks forward to witnessing the growth and progress of his students. He derives great satisfaction from seeing his students develop confidence, discipline, and a deep understanding of themselves. He takes pride in creating a supportive and empowering environment where students can unleash their potential and achieve their goals.

Student Testimonials
Since approaching Arakan to see if it was possible if I could start my 4 year old son Levi with private lessons and potentially train in with him, we were met with Anthony, instantly he instilled values and strong characteristics in my son such as small things like a firm hand shake and to make eye contact with the persons hand you are shaking. Throughout the sessions he incorporates myself training in with Levi making it fun and relating his teachings to Levi’s day to day life. Anthony shows high Levi’s of patience dealing with a young boy like Levi who can get side tracked from time to time, and manages to get his focus back to where it needs to be. He has shown a huge amount of growth in his personal development, coordination and most importantly his confidence. I’d like to thank Anthony for his continued help and support with myself and Levi.
