The Dojo | Episode 1 | CVBJJ | Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling and Family 

What an incredible man. Stoic, humble and devoted to serving others: a true martial artist. I discovered Prof. Anthony watching Roy Dean's Pure Rolling 2: Black Belt Edition video. Watching that footage, I understood why Prof. Roy called him "the king". I subscribe to the CVBJJ RU-vid channel: world-class instruction and stellar "should this be free?" production values. True to his word, Anthony's concise instruction chains together devastatingly effective moves-his teaching style is second to none. Given the quality of the content, the subscriber numbers are criminally low, but it won't be long until "one of the best-kept secrets in California" is out. Mark Twain stated, "Great people are those who make others feel that they, too, can become great." Thank you, Prof. Anthony. Thank you, Prof. Rick, for the phenomenal content and for shining a light on CVBJJ-it's a special place.

I would have joined the Dojo if I wasn’t too old (69). I’m glad my son Daniel is amongst you guys.

Anthony "THE MAN" Mantanona... I've got nothing but respect for you and your crew in Cali. Watching your videos on your CVBJJ RU-vid channel has helped me tremendously on my journey from purple to brown and I just wanted to say thank you. Hopefully one day I can make it out there to train with y'all. It would be a huge honor for me like Bernardo Faria says. Take care and God bless. Best regards from Galveston, Texas.

Looks like a great place to train, and great coach!

This channel should be so much larger! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This Dojo , Anthony, Dan , Glenn , along with all the CVBJJ family members have for 15 years been a huge part of mine and my children's lives . My children's personal success as young adults and athletes are a direct result of being a part of the CVBJJ family. At 58 I humbled daily to share the mat with such incredible people. Love you all Oss.

Very well done video. Great Job Rick. Anthony is one of the most selfless individuals I have ever met. His dedication to his students is unmatched. Everyone at CVBJJ should feel honored and blessed to have a instructor like Anthony.

Awesome video Rick. I’m honored to be in that room everyday. Coach Anthony is the man.

Sitting here on Saturday am before training watching this is awesome... Thanks so much for taking the time to share these guys with the world!! Love your videos!

This made a big impression and I'm not easily impressed. I can easily say that the atmosphere in that dojo is one of the best I've ever seen, due to this teacher.

Much respect from Las Vegas 🙌🏻

Loved out, Professor Rick👊🏻

You can always tell the hybrid Judo/wrestling guys, they hunt the pin then submit. Wish more people would combine the two "Judo creates gorillas and jiu jitsu snakes, you need both" Saulo Ribero

Loved this dojo. Possibly the perfect dojo.

Thank you for sharing the video. Very inspiring. Solid 💪🏿

I've trained at cvbjj it's an awesome experience everyone was very welcoming! Professor Anthony is a beast! Plus got roll with many other tough individuals! I will be back!

Fantastic video Rick, way to show off the school. Wifey and I travel down that way every now an then I'd love to pop in for a day.

Hey Rick, I love your content. What advice do you have on finding the right dojo for me in East Tennessee? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Guess these guys don't share the same views on "warm-ups " as Rick .

That's what a dojo should look like. My only option is a dojo owned by a violent convicted criminal who happens to be good at bjj. I try to ignore it because I like this sport but it's sad and frustrating
