Coach Billie
Bio: Coach Billie brings a deep passion for martial arts, boxing, and continuous learning to every class. She’s energetic, encouraging, intense, welcoming, and knowledgeable.
Their martial arts journey began with Jeet Kune Do in 2018, followed by Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after moving to Seattle in 2021. In 2023, they shifted their focus exclusively to boxing to pursue competition and have since competed in 9 amateur bouts.
Billie began teaching in 2019 and has worked with everyone from complete beginners to athletes preparing to compete. Their coaching style blends technical knowledge, intensity, and encouragement to help every athlete grow.
Their philosophy?
“It’s NEVER too late to learn something new.”
Outside the gym, Billie is a full-time painter and artist, creating murals, landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. You can also find them regularly at the Fremont Sunday Market—so if you’re into art, say hi!
Fun facts: They’re surprisingly good at climbing despite being afraid of heights , and their best purchase last year was a Milwaukee tool set. Their worst? Cat toys. Apparently, cardboard boxes win every time.
