For more than 15 years, Adam Marburger dreamed of having his own martial arts academy. It has finally been realized this year as Alton Family Martial Arts & Fitness. Marburger teamed up with the Nautilus gym to offer Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, kickboxing, cardio kickboxing, and children’s martial arts.
