Billy’s personal values are rooted in the core principles of martial arts. As a child, training in a dojo gave him a baseline for relationships: patience, self-discipline, work ethic, respecting others, participation, and what qualities to look for in communities.
As a trainer, Billy has discovered how to help others find balance, joy, and develop the tools necessary for navigating the stress and rigors of daily life. In every session, he seeks to create an atmosphere conducive to learning, personal growth, developing lasting friendships, and healthy competition.
Billy has also discovered the revitalizing physical benefits of martial arts training — including the ability to complete household chores, yard and vehicle maintenance, and basic health and fitness activities without being hampered by chronic joint and muscle pain or limited mobility.
