Anthony Ficacci is a high-level Jiu Jitsu athlete who began his journey on the local competition scene and, through relentless dedication, quickly rose to dominate—winning consistently in both his weight class and the absolute divisions. By the time he reached blue belt, Anthony knew he wanted to test his limits on the world stage. He has since competed at the IBJJF World Championships every year and travels internationally to compete in IBJJF Opens. Anthony is a top-ranked IBJJF Gi competitor and has also cross-trained in Judo, where he captured gold in his very first tournament, winning every match by ippon. He began training in Jiu Jitsu at the age of 22 under Alex Kennedy of Gael Force Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, originally with the simple goal of getting in shape. What began as a fitness pursuit quickly became a lifelong passion and dedication to the art. Inspired by the philosophy, “True strength lies in technique” — Roger Gracie, Anthony built his game around technical precision from the very beginning. While he continues to push himself at the highest levels of competition, his true passion lies in teaching and developing his students. Through refined, high-level techniques and training methods developed over years of study, Anthony is committed to helping his students become the best Jiu Jitsu practitioners and competitors they can be—instilling the same obsession, discipline, and love for technical mastery that defines his own approach to the sport.  Coach Anthony is available for private lessons.
