Martial arts has been part of Adam's life since childhood. He tried his my first Jiu-Jitsu class in 1996 and knew he had found what he was looking for in a martial art. He understood quickly that it gives practitioners the skills to respond to the most common types of physical aggression. Whether it’s a punch, a kick, a grab or a headlock on the ground, BJJ offers the simplest and most effective means of escape.

Adam absolutely loves his time practicing on the mat with the great people at OCTA. For all its many physical challenges, the rewards of BJJ are immense. It’s given him a way to face life’s different obstacles and to accept the things he have control over and the things he doesn't.

Adam loves how the art relies entirely on your sense of touch and enhances your connection with it. How BJJ puts your focus completely in the present moment where you must engage with your situation and how it increases your capacity to endure discomfort and become more resilient.
He loves the sense of fulfillment he feels when can share BJJ with others and be part of their
development.

Adam look forward to serving the growing OCTA BJJ family.
