The staff
Three black belts, two brown belts, a Texas National Team wrestler, and two youth assistants who still compete. The line runs Anthony Curry, black belt under Matt Leighton of Citadel BJJ in Iowa City, to Shaun Lawler — the only black belt Anthony has promoted in five years of running the academy.
