Anthony Sandoval
Kids Muay Thai Coach/Assistant Striking & Fight Team Coach

Anthony’s martial arts training began in 1987 after watching tons of kung fu movies and the karate kid movie, his parents put him at Chris Casamassa’s (scorpion from the original mortal kombat movie) red dragon karate. In 1989 he started American kenpo karate. In 1993 he started kung fu (got my black belt in 1997.) Anthony got private judo lessons from Judo Gene Lebelle 1995-1997 as well as wrestled his freshman year of high school in 1996. Started jiu-jitsu with Rick Lucero and boxing in Pomona in 1998, and helped coach the kids boxing team. Anthony taught kung-fu, women’s self-defense and kickboxing at Glendora Kajukenbo from 2001-2004. In 2009 he joined the Misfits Muay Thai/mma gym in the OC. In 2018 Anthony joined Brood 9 because “I love how the art is taught the right way starting with basics on up. Everyone is great to work with and in great spirits under a regular training day or around competition time.”  Since then, he has competed in Muay Thai for Brood 9 and currently helps all of our fighters get ready for competition. His current and future goals are to keep on training and teach/coach the next generation of fighters. Eventually he wants to be a pro cornerman, judge and referee fights down the road (which we are working with him on).
