Knock Out Parkinson's Disease (KOPD) was conceived from a personal journey with Parkinson's and a passion for combat sports. Adrian Unger, a boxing enthusiast diagnosed with Parkinson's, discovered the profound benefits of high-intensity exercise for managing his condition.

 

Adrian then joined forces with Dylan Resnekov, Head Striking Coach of VT1 Martial Arts Academy, and Nate, an exercise physiologist and kickboxer from the VT1 Elite Team, to create KOPD.

 

The resulting program integrates the intensity and discipline of fight sports with the evidence-based approaches of exercise physiology to offer a powerful and targeted intervention for individuals with Parkinson's.
