Blast MMA

"I was looking for a way to get back in shape and gain confidence when I came across Blast MMA. As a woman with no BJJ experience I was intimidated but decided I would go to the trial class … I signed up for a yearly membership that day. The classes have not only exceeded my expectations, but have become the highlight of my week. It’s fun, a great workout, and an empowering skill that requires technique and problem-solving. Coach Bill is patient and does an amazing job teaching the skills, breaking down strategy, and managing the various skill levels in the class. I’m impressed with the community he’s cultivated at the gym. Everyone is respectful and helpful. More experienced teammates consistently help me learn the new skills during practice or make suggestions when I get stuck rolling. It's extremely valuable for women to learn self-defense and this is a great place to do it. If you’re intimidated or on the fence, give the trial class a shot. You’ll find its a safe and inviting environment."

"Coach Bill is the best of the best. I joined as a beginner with very little experience and Coach Bill was extremely welcoming and took a lot of time to make sure I understood new techniques. The gym is really nice all the other guys and girls were great to train with. You can tell that Coach Bill is truly passionate about BBJ and MMA the second you step in that gym. Highly recommend!"

"I first trained under Coach Bill years ago when I was just starting off in the world of martial arts. He so clearly loves the sport and has put a lot of love and energy into teaching. Just by the way he speaks about MMA shows genuine care and thoughtfulness. By training with him you'll get to experience being coached by someone who has truely dedicated their lives to martial arts."

"Coach Bill was instrumental in my BJJ journey. Bringing me up from a white belt to blue, his style of teaching complimented the gym ethos. Made me feel very comfortable asking any and all manner of questions. Always ready with a story that uncannily pertains to that days topic or lesson. Very detailed instruction and care for all of us students. Now that he has his own place, more folks can experience his welcoming personality. Coach Bill has the Heart of a Teacher. Whether you are brand new to BJJ or old hat, there is always something you can take away from his approach."

"We brought our 15 year old daughter to Bill so she could learn self defense. We are at the point in our parenting lives where letting go is necessary but not comfortable. Bill has dedicated the better part of his entire life to different fighting techniques! His fighting experience and Coaching resume is impressive to say the least! He approached our daughter with such patience and knowledge as her instructor. He has been both the student and the teacher so he relates to each person set before him. He customizes the lesson and reads the student's needs lesson by lesson. Our daughter refuses to have another instructor. Bill makes our daughter feel confident. She sees her personal growth and always leaves each lesson stronger, more knowledgeable and most importantly safe. We would not recommend anywhere else!"
