Timpanogos Jiu Jitsu Club

“One of the best instructors in the business. Professor Anthony Pagano doesn’t just teach self-defense—he teaches a way of life. His depth of knowledge, passion for Jiu Jitsu. As a first-degree black belt under Mike Diaz (Pedro Sauer / Helio Gracie lineage), he brings world-class technique and a strong sense of tradition to the mat. Seriously I once met God on the bottom of his stand-up game. The environment at Timpanogos Jiu Jitsu Club is welcoming, and supportive perfect for beginners and experienced practitioners.”

“Anthony is a terrific Gracie BJJ teacher, with a background in wrestling and judo. I am always impressed with the breadth and depth of his grappling knowledge. Anthony's academy has top notch training!”

“Finally legit BJJ in the Heber Valley!! Anthony is awesome, a very patient teacher for beginners and great with kids. If your re an experienced grappler or colored belt in BJJ already, he will push you to the next level.”

“Anthony is great! I have had the opportunity to learn from Anthony at Park City BJJ under Mike Diaz and always wanted to be on the mat when he was there. Being new to BJJ, I always appreciated his welcoming, technical, appropriately tough, and FUN approach. Great teacher! Great person!”

“Anthony is the man! I’ve known him for 7 years since starting my jiu jitsu journey with Professor Mike Diaz at Park City BJJ. He makes learning jiu jitsu fun and he has some interesting insights drawing from a lengthy background in martial arts.”
