Mr. Bill Williams was born and raised in New York City and began his training in the martial arts of karate and jujutsu, in 1982 under Dennis Fink Sensei. He currently holds the grade of 4^th Degree Black Belt in Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu, and 4^th Degree Black Belt, and the title of Renshi, in Okinawan Isshin-ryu Karate-do. He has traveled to Okinawa, and Fukuoka, Japan to train in both disciplines.
 

In 2005, he completed the Senbondori (test of 1000 points) after a six-hour grueling test of physical stamina, will power, and spirit. Senbondori has only been conducted at the Sekiryukan (headquarters of Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu) in Fukuoka, Japan since 1868. Hosted by Fink Sensei in New York, several members from the Sekiryukan in Japan attended and sanctioned this event led by Manzo Shitama Sensei, 16th headmaster of Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu. This was the second time this event has been held outside of the Sekiryukan, both times at the New York Seibukan. It was never held in any other dojo in Japan.
 

In January 2007, he retired from the New York City Police Department after 20 years of distinguished service, retiring as a Detective Sergeant. He was assigned to the Intelligence Division, supervising counter terrorism investigations. Bill was a first responder on 9/11 and subsequently supervised a joint FBI/NYPD task force that investigated the attacks on the World Trade Center. He has received several hundred departmental, and community awards during his career with the NYPD, including the Medal for Valor, when he was injured in a gun battle with four armed adversaries. Bill has been certified as a Defensive Tactics Instructor by the F.B.I., and has graduated from their Officer’s Survival School. He has utilized his training to help provide instruction in defensive tactics for law enforcement officers at the New York Seibukan. He currently resides on Camano Island, Washington and continues to mentor a class of jujutsu students in Vancouver, Washington.
