With the popularity of the UFC I started looking for a place to train, but all of the clubs out there who say they teach mixed martial arts are really just recycled martial arts clubs who have only changed their names and jumped on the UFC band wagon. They have no skill in teaching authentic mixed martial arts (MMA) they are just trying to sell more memberships and get a piece of the UFC action. After training with Adam I realized that he is very good at what he teaches and that he is indeed an authentic Mixed Martial Arts Instructor and a true black belt. I won’t train with anyone else!
