Anthony
Anthony Roque
Muay Thai - Head Coach
I first came to Adrenaline in 2009, and with life’s ups and downs, God still managed to keep me around here. The long-term plan overall was to gain experience so I could become a respected coach.
Through the years, with the help of Jose Medina, my B.J.J. Coach, Elliot Diaz, my wrestling coach, and Adam Rothweiler, my Muay Thai Coach, along with my training partners, I’ve managed to gain experience through fighting at both the amateur and professional levels. Even now, I’m still being coached by our very own Kenny Finister. I have been fortunate enough to have had great minds like these to learn from.
I've had my share of coaches who helped change my view on life and taught me what life’s really all about. Becoming the head coach of a program that I grew up in is such a blessing. The title of coach means a lot to me, but a wise teacher is always willing to learn, and humility is something I’ve learned most throughout this experience.
God has given me an opportunity to help change lives the way it was done for me—a way to give back by helping people not only learn the art of fighting but also overcome obstacles they once thought were impossible. I want people to leave my class with something they can take with them throughout life. I want those who once said, “I can’t,” to say, “I can.”
I was coached to win, and my coach was coached to win, so understand that I will coach to win. Not just win in the gym or ring, but to "WIN" in life—and that, to me, is way more important. I strive to help people build confidence, motivate them to achieve their goals, help them walk with their head held high, and be there for them in times of need, just as Adrenaline has been for me. This place has been like family to me, so it’s an honor to be able to coach this program and give back in the same way it was given to me.
How good God truly is to make this happen His way and with the only gym I’ve ever been a part of. God is good all the time. “Peace be with you.”

Kenny Finister

My name is Kenny Finister, and I have 24 years of experience in Muay Thai, including over 50 fights, training high-level fighters, and promoting events. I've worked with both amateur and professional boxers and have played a role in the growth of the sport.
Outside of martial arts, I'm a proud father, supportive brother, and enthusiastic mentor. I believe in the balance that the martial arts lifestyle brings. I also love cooking, exploring dishes from different cultures, and have a passion for music, having performed in genres like Roots Reggae, Jazz, Blues, and Samba Reggae. One of my lesser-known interests is reading about law. My goal is to inspire others to reach their full potential and thrive.
