Adam Palisoc

I'm a dedicated martial arts practitioner for over a decade. My formal training consists of Northern Shaolin Praying Mantis Kung Fu, Modern Day Arnis, Wushu, and Modern Day Arnis. In addition to my formal training, I have a vested interest in learning about all the various martial arts created throughout the world. Through my extreme curiosity, I have also "sampled" the basic concepts/principles of Capoeira, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, Tae Kwon Do, Escrima, and Krav Maga.​

In addition to my martial arts training, I am a veteran of the United States Army National Guard. Leading and training soldiers for military missions has lead me to pursue personal training as another means of income. It has inspired me to formally pursue a certification in Personal Training while being a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association(NSCA). Due to my NSCA membership, I am able to keep up to date with the most up to date fitness trends and studies.
