About Bob

Bob found his passion for martial arts later in life, but once he stepped into Guro Andy Wilson's MKG Martial Arts in Seattle at age 30, he was hooked. Initially unfamiliar with disciplines like Thai boxing, Kali, Jun Fan, and BJJ, he quickly became immersed, enjoying the intense workout and seeing rapid improvements in both strength and fitness. This journey led him to train at the Inosanto Academy in LA, where he felt the powerful influence of Guro Dan Inosanto and developed a deep respect for the martial arts community. After returning to Seattle, Bob taught at MKG for over eight years, contributing to the school’s growth. In 2009, he launched Seattle Integrated Martial Arts (SIMA) in West Seattle, a community-driven school that reflects the character and values of MKG. Bob is dedicated to sharing his love for martial arts with others and has built SIMA into a thriving center where students of all backgrounds and skill levels come to train and grow.

What students say...

"I'm fairly new to SIMA and I've found the environment fantastic. The instructors are all patient, very prepared for every class, thorough and welcoming. My classmates have all been great to work with. Being very new I have felt like everyone wants to support each other and will help to make sure you get it right every time. I feel very safe here and always look forward to the next class.
