About Phoenix Arms Historical Training
The Answer
Sometimes The Answer has been right in front of you the whole time. Sometimes for hundreds of years.
With the explosion of research and interpretation of the works of the great historical masters of Western Martial Arts, it’s becoming ever more clear that their combat and training methods for personal defense and military action are as sophisticated and effective as anything we see today.
We are a group of individuals with diverse experience and interests, sharing a passion about the research and reconstruction of historical and ancient works on hand to hand combat and fieldcraft. We are lending our strength to the rebirth of the awareness that these methods have applications that fit nicely into the Modern World.
Research, recover, rebirth–the Way of the Phoenix!

Bill instructing some young ones.
Chief Instructor for Modern Combatives and Conflict Resolution William T. Clark was raised on “God, Guns, and Heinlein.” A self-described “redneck hippie,” he’s a US Navy veteran with over 20 years experience in Intelligence and Military Operations. Bill found sport fencing and Aikido at West Virginia University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology. He’s been practicing Eastern and Western martial arts ever since. Bill has been a victim, errr–student, of the Russian Martial Art of Systema for several years.
Bill’s passion is to pursue and refine knowledge and skills for effective conflict resolution. His experience allows him to integrate ancient and modern principles, tactics, and techniques for reality-based operations and security. His belief is that awareness is the primary skill, because the best fight is the one that is prevented.

The art of life is more like the wrestler’s art than the dancer’s, in respect of this, that it should stand ready and firm to meet onsets which are sudden and unexpected. –Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome (121-180)
