About the author
Anthony was born in 1971 and is the father of 4 children. He is an artist and a martial artist, a graduate of the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill and attended both Penn State University and College of DuPage.
He and his family live on the countryside of Pennsylvania. Anthony is 50 years old and “I have been studying various arts for a long time but not long enough”. He has a mastery in self-defense and black belt in Tang Soo Do.
In his mid 40’s he competed in 2 full contact Muay Thai matches and won both by TKO in the second round. Age restrictions in the sport eliminated his chance of excelling beyond amateur ranking. He has a love for learning and teaching and participated in 6 different arts ranging from soft to hard forms, stick, knife and open hand systems.
In bodybuilding he competed in the National Physique Committee. He won Mr. Keystone Middle Weight Division and was light heavy weight and overall champion in the 2005 Mr. Pennsylvania competition.
This book is a compilation, a piece of his martial experience and education.
We hope you share with others what his many teachers have taught and shared with me.
