BILL'S MARTIAL ARTS JOURNEY
Training Since 1967
Born in Japan, Bill was introduced to Japanese combat systems from an early age. He began training in 1967 and has remained a lifelong student of martial arts, with a particular passion for classical Japanese swordsmanship and western boxing.
His experience spans Boxing, Niten Ichi-ryu Musashi-kai classical Japanese swordsmanship, Shinbukan Iaijutsu, Karate, Sumo and Budokan disciplines. He has trained for decades in Japan and Australia, developing the technical, disciplined and progressive approach he brings to BX1.
Bill has served as Head of Junior Boxing at PCYC Woolloomooloo and as Senior Boxing Instructor and Committee Member at PCYC North Sydney.

His experience also extends into film and television. Bill has trained Australian stunt performers and worked on action choreography, with screen credits including The Wolverine, The Story of Us – Kokoda and Hacksaw Ridge.
What Bill values most about training is the camaraderie, friendship and continual development of skill, together with the physical, mental and psychological benefits that come from consistent practice. Whether someone wants to compete or simply become fitter, stronger and more capable, he believes skills should develop progressively in a safe, positive and encouraging environment.
