Introduction

I teach traditional martial arts, self-defense, and Kickboxing. Each training session lasts one hour. My program descriptions are as follows: Traditional Martial Arts: Praying Mantis Kung Fu, Shaolin Staff, and Filipino Stick Fighting. These programs are designed to help preserve history, improve fitness and confidence, and provide an avenue for people to compete in tournaments. Self Defense: Intended for people who want to learn how to protect themselves but are not interested in the traditional martial arts programs. Elements of my self defense program are influenced from Army Combatives and traditional martial arts programs. Kickboxing: I offer two programs. Traditional Kickboxing and Sanda. Sanda is China's sport martial art. It is fast paced combat sport that mixes striking and throws. This program is ideal for people looking to get into tiptop shape and/or compete up to amateur fighting events. Sanda Program participants also have the opportunity to earn an instructor certification and be affiliated with Amalgam Martial Arts Academy.

Adam is an exceptional instructor who stands out for his kindness, precision, and extensive knowledge. He’s truly the best of the best, not only because of his teaching skills but also because of his genuine desire to see his students thrive. Highly recommend if you’re looking to learn and succeed!

At first i was skeptical whether or not i could really learn anything from just one guy but Adam was really informative and understanding. I told him about my weaknesses and a little about what i already know and he was able to figure a routine that would work best for me. He was quite fair when it came to work-outs and made sure it was just at the right pace, after one session i already felt stronger than i ever did before and for that i am grateful. I would recommended taking Adam's services for anyone willing to learn basic or just fundamental of what Adam offers to teach. Overall a nice and good instructor and i plan on taking more sessions with him.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Single sessions are about one hour long. $30/session I offer 2 packages for 5 or 10 sessions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For customers looking to be Suburban Warrior Fit: We begin with a consultation to address their goal(s) and which services they would like to pursue. This can be done face-face or through video chat. Once this is complete, customers complete two forms: a health questionnaire and assumption of risk form. If there are any health concerns, I recommend customers to see their physician prior to starting the program. After the forms are completed, we move onto personalizing the training program based on any physical and medical condition(s). The first training session will consist of testing that includes: blood pressure reading, BMI calculation, resting heart rate, and physical fitness testing based on any physical/medical conditions. Subsequent training sessions focus on improving the customer's health and fitness goals through Suburban Warrior Fitness training methods. Every 8 weeks, testing will be repeated to measure progress. For customers seeking Isagenix products: We discuss their goals and I provide an overview of the available products. Customers register for an Isagenix account and make their first purchase. For customers seeking Self-Defense: Customers and I discuss how many training sessions they would like, complete the necessary forms, and provide full payment on day 1. For customers seeking Kung Fu or Qigong: Customers complete the necessary forms and provide payment for 10 training sessions. For customers seeking Tactical First Aid training: Complete the necessary forms and provide full payment prior to training day. Payment includes a brand new tactical first aid kit upon completion of training.k
