How did you get started teaching?
Master Level Martial Arts Instructor William Tresten began is martial arts training in 2000, under Sensei Rick Short of Rick Short Martial Arts. Studying a blended curriculum of Tae-Kwon-Do, Akido, Jui-Jitsu, Systema, and Jeet Kun Do. William earned his fourth degree black belt in 2011, which earned him the title of "Master Level Instructor".
During college, William enrolled in the Air Force/Army Combatives Program in 2008 and became certified as a Combatives Instructor for the US Army and Air Force. This training works synergistically with his martial arts training to produce a well-rounded, powerful tactical defense program.
In 2016 William launch his Tactical Defense System to empower people to feel safer and more secure in an increasingly dangerous world. All too often, people become victims of assault or violent crimes because they "freeze up" during a confrontation. William's Tactical Defense Program teaches techniques that ultimately transform into "muscle memory" making them almost second nature.
Seeing an opportunity to help others, William utilized his combined experience of martial arts and self-defense to create the Tactical Defense System. William's goal is keeping the community safe, one less victim at a time.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with a wide variety - I've taught kids as young as 3 and 4 all the way to law enforcement and military personel.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Don't be afraid to vet myself or another other instructor - especially teaching self-defense. Ask questions, there's too many BS instructors out there teaching things they might look good, but aren't effective real world. That's why we pressure test what we teach so you know it works.
