Anthony and Simon

To watch Anthony in a jiu jitsu match is like watching someone breathe.  He looks like he knows exactly what to do. His moves flow and he appears so confident in his abilities.  I guess that's why his record is 42 wins and 3 losses.  We have travelled twice from our home in Ontario, Canada to Carson, California in order for him to compete in the distinguished Kids Pan Am tournament.  He won the Teen 3 Green Belt Heavy Weight division gold medal two years in a row.  Simon in following in his brother's footsteps.  He began jiu jitsu when he was 4 years old.  Simon is small for his age, but in spite of this, he was moved to the kids 7-8 class at his club when he was 5.  He is now 7 and Anthony has started training him in kickboxing.  Last week Mr. Anthony had Simon doing squats with a medicine ball at the gym.  That is something that I never thought my 7 year old would be doing, but I guess that's the kind of thing you should expect when you are an MMA parent.
