Grand Master Pontillo has owned and operated Sidekicks Martial Arts Studio in St. Clair Shores since 1994. Brian has continued to add to his knowledge base throughout his career. He became a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer in 2003 and added specialties in Corrective Exercise and Sports Performance. In addition, he is Precision Nutrition as well as Metabolic Testing and Analysis certified. Mr. Pontillo chose to expand into healthcare because he wanted to teach the concept of self-care to a wider range of clients. He utilizes his knowledge of self-care tools such as the Hyperice percussion and vibration tools to enhance performance through recovery. Because Brian has had a very physical lifestyle, he has learned how to manage various injuries and can pass on this knowledge to benefit anyone from the sedentary to the most active clients. The only thing a client needs to possess is a willingness to take ownership of his/her health and wellness.
