Adam Ging

Adam Ging began training at Brand X as a young teenager after searching for more than a year for a school where he could train in the martial arts. He chose to train at Brand X over dozens of other San Diego area schools after frequenting the website and having several in-depth conversations with Sifu Jeff Martin. The school's emphasis on reality-based training and the quiet integrity of the Sifu brought his search to an end in January of 2003 when he was 14 years old. Adam began training in kickboxing then, at the prompting of Sifu Jeff, began Kenpo classes that summer. Adam has proven to be a talented Kenpo student and has progressed to earn his green belt, currently working toward his brown belt. In the winter of 2006, Adam was named as one of two senior Kenpo students by the Sifus.

Adam began training consistently in CrossFit during his senior year of high school. After graduating Salutatorian of his class, he devoted most of his summer to Kenpo and CrossFit training. During that time, Adam made significant positive changes to his eating and sleeping habits and began to excel. He made "Underdawg" on Helen for the first time that summer, and his strength gains were profound. Adam's interest in and devotion to CrossFit continues to grow. He became CrossFit Basic Barbell Certified in September 2007, CrossFit Level 1 Certified in December 2007, CrossFit Kids Certified in March 2008, and CrossFit Olympic Lift Certified in May 2008. Adam is part of the Brand X support staff for CrossFit Kids Certifications and assists in adult CrossFit, CrossFit Kids and Advanced CrossFit Kids classes. He entered a mentoring program with Coach Jeff Martin in June of 2008. Adam is currently a student at University of California at San Diego.
