Testimonials
“I love learning from Willie because there is no ego—just fun. He is highly skilled and really encouraging, and he knows how to make you feel comfortable from your first lesson.”
“A great person that possesses the skill to perform and the patience to teach. What more could a student ask for?”
Bob P.
“Willie is such a motivating teacher. I spend most classes laughing, kicking and trying to focus on my footwork and body mechanics (all things I knew NOTHING about before I started). I’m always sweaty and a little sore, and I’m learning so much about kickboxing, self-defense and even martial arts generally from working with Willie. These classes make me feel like Nightwing. After a stressful Monday I can’t wait to arrive and punch some pads. I’m so glad to have this in my life.”
Brianna F. and Head Instructor, Willie Sims, after class on Monday at Linwood Recreation Center.
"Willie is a rare breed of instructor for a number of reasons:
1. His infectious personality quickly puts you at ease as he teaches. The pressure and nervousness of learning a new activity from a stranger quickly melts into a more relaxed session with a trusted expert.
2. He is able to assess what you currently have, and quickly begin to improve your skill set. Personal instruction from Willie isn't a lecture, it is a discussion on improvement. I have experienced and witnessed Willie improve the ten-year veteran practitioner to welcoming and effectively instructing the first-time student.
3. Lessons are focused, but not pressured. Lessons vary in content, making boredom impossible. Willie is able to communicate effectively to all levels of student, and it won't be long until you 'get it'.
A great person that possesses the skill to perform and the patience to teach. What more could a student ask for?"

“Willie is one of the most encouraging and engaging instructors I have ever worked with. He helps students develop well-rounded attributes and skills that apply to martial arts and many other physical activities/sports. His lessons are relaxed and fun, even though he takes his students goals seriously. He keeps you on task, but does so without the typical “formal” atmosphere of many martial arts gyms.”
