William Becker
Senior Instructor
Dynamic Combat™ Method

William Becker started studying Judo in Detroit, Michigan in 1967. In 1969, after a fight with a boxer, Becker decided he needed to study a striking art and took up Okinawan Shorin-ryu Karate. One year later, he joined the army and did a tour in Vietnam during the war where he received extensive weapons training.

After returning home he resumed the study of Shorin-ryu, where he eventually was accepted as a student of Grandmaster Izo Shimabuko. He continued to study until 1975 when he became fascinated with the Chinese art of Tai Chi Chuan. After studying Tai Chi under renowned Master Philip Ho, Becker began to search for more street effective training.

His search led him half way across the United States to study the Chinese art of Wing Chun where he met Richard Ryan. Becker studied the art alongside him until Ryan broke away from the system to create the art of Dynamic Combat™. William Becker became one of the first students of what was to become Dynamic Combat Method™. He has worked as a professional bodyguard and as a women's self-defense instructor and has trained extensively in both armed and unarmed combat with over three decades of experience. Today Becker has achieved a Level III Combat Expert (Third Degree Black Belt) in DCM and is a Senior Instructor at the Dynamic Combat™ Academy in Phoenix, Arizona.
