Self-Introduction/Founder
Hey everyone, glad to be here.
My name is Anthony, I’m a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt and the founder of Modern Grappling. I’ve been training for 5 years and compete regularly.
I'm in love with grappling. In love.
I'm currently in healthcare as a nurse. It's okay. It pays the bills.
My ultimate goal is to make grappling my full-time job. Not necessarily competing, although competition is a means to prove that my game works. But rather train and coach full-time. I want to be immersed in grappling as much as possible.
Despite working full-time, I'm still doing anywhere from 10-14 training sessions a week.
If I'm not training, you can find me making stupid Instagram videos at: @aavanderpool, studying Jiu-Jitsu, or spending time with my girlfriend.
Gym / Location: Valhalla AJJ, belted under Jerry Vanzant II. I also cross-train at Lexington Jiu-Jitsu with Michael Seals. Both gyms are in Kentucky.
Favorite Position: Back mount
Favorite Submission: Rear Naked Strangle
What I’m currently working on: Staying attached to the lower extremities by controlling both legs simultaneously until arriving in the breaking position.
I created this community to bring serious grapplers together to share ideas, study the sport, and improve faster.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
