Punch Kick Choke Chat

Join us this week on PKCC as we sit down with Adam Grogin. A lifelong Martial Artist, Master Grogin's journey began in 1987 after a Karate Birthday Party sparked his passion following The Karate Kid movie. He started Tae Kwon Do in 1992, primarily focusing on a World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) based style, incorporating Olympic Style Sparring and International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) Tul (forms). Guided by various ITF Masters, he explored the traditional ITF Forms and, in 1996, connected with Master Il Kyu Shin, a Korean National Demonstration Team member. Master Grogin currently holds a 6th Dan, acknowledged by Grand Master Frank Noguera and Kukkiwon in Korea. His Tae Kwon Do rank was internationally recognized by the Kokuryu Kai International Black Dragon Association in 2018. Additionally, he delved into Wu Shu in 1995, Combat Hapkido in 1999, and Capoeira Regional in 2006. He also incorporated gymnastics into his training, emphasizing acrobatics and flipping skills. Master Grogin's diverse martial arts background extends to competitive breaking, mentored by Grandmaster Ralph Bergamo, Master Drew Serrano, and Grandmaster Elton Trower through the USBA/WBA, resurrecting his competitive career in 2009.
