Professor Tony started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 17 years ago, after being honorably discharged from the Navy. He is a 1st degree black belt in BJJ, sankaku in Judo, and over a decade of experience in Muay Thai, JKD, kali, wrestling, sambo and some other stuff. Honestly, he’s probably forgotten more techniques than he knows at this point. He’s also the proud father of 4 kids and married to a former model. Hence the forgetting. He also has an unhealthy obsession with Batman.

Professor Gunnar’s journey into martial arts started in elementary school where he learned Filipino Martial Arts. He also trained in Taekwondo, Judo, and Akido. He punches with his foot and kicks with his fist. He competed in Japanese Jujutsu before realizing his mistake and switched to BJJ in 2008. Professor Tony’s tutelage helped Professor Gunnar’s children capture championships in multiple, interstate BJJ tournaments. Professor Gunnar was instrumental in establishing Mathers Jiu-Jitsu, the most family-friendly BJJ and fitness academy in Northwest Arkansas in 2015.

Who we Are And why You Should Train Here

Since we’ve opened, we’ve been dedicated to changing the lives of people one person at a time, through martial arts, education and coaching. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all students and family members. We take pride in creating an environment for individuals to achieve, develop and succeed in their personal goals.

We strongly believe that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender or experience levels. Throughout all of our programs, students will not only learn the necessary skill sets to protect themselves, we stand behind our realistic and practical approach, confident it will enable every member to achieve greatness and live their best life..

It doesn’t matter what age you are, when your village is invaded, you need to pick up your battle axe and take a few of them down with you. However, without training, without proper care for your health, without avoiding damage to your body, the axe may be too heavy to hold. Our program will teach you how to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu safely and how to avoid physical injuries, as your ego will surely be bruised. A program is only as good as the people in it. Everyone in this program has one goal – improve themselves and those around them. No one here is looking to collect taps or become the gym class hero. There are few sports that can be lifelong. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, however, is one that allows you continue sparring and training well into your 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and even 80’s. There is no tough it out or suck it up here. Years of pain is not worth 5 minutes of stubbornness. The hardest part of this program? Walking through the door. This is the path to becoming the Eternal Warrior.
