Bill Shimuk - Black Belt, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Bill Shimuk, 1st Degree Black Belt, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I still remember my first Martial Arts class, I was nervous and knew nothing about the techniques or training. I only knew that I wanted to learn. With time, it became natural to train and Martial Arts became my passion. My introduction into the world of grappling was through Classic Japanese JuiJitsu. As a result, my instruction today focuses largely on Self Defense and Takedowns. As the Lead Grappling Instructor at Threshold, I enjoy blending innovative techniques and solid basics skills in my pursuit to make the most complete Black Belts on the planet.

Ed’s classes are a fun blend of functional fitness drills and technical Thai Kickboxing. As an avid competitor himself, Coach Ed understands how to prepare for success. He shows Threshold’s Kickboxing students how to do the same and how to achieve maximum results in minimal time.
