MEET COACH PAUL WILLIAMS
I began my journey in American Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai in May of 2015 and have had the privilege of training at top schools across the country. My exposure to a wide range of coaching styles and training philosophies has helped shape the well-rounded approach I bring to the mat today.
I currently hold a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (awarded December 13, 2025) and a yellow belt in Judo, and I’ve competed on many stages throughout my career. These experiences have fueled my passion not only for training and competing, but also for teaching and building up others.
At Imperial Training Center, I focus on a game-based and concept-driven model of instruction that emphasizes understanding over memorization. Whether you’re training for competition, self-defense, or simply to challenge yourself, my goal is to help students in the Statesville area grow in skill, confidence, and character.
