Adam
Adam trained in the Marine Corps Martial Arts program (MCMAP) on Parris Island in 2003. He continued his training after entering the fleet and acquired his grey belt.

He is also an expert rifleman, ranked in the top 10% of the Marine Corp.

Jen has been in the martial arts business since the late ‘90s. She is one of the designers and testers of Tiger Claw products.

and me.
