Welcome to Open Call Martial Arts

Nestled in the heart of Reading, PA, Open Call Martial Arts is more than just a martial arts school—it’s a community hub where tradition, discipline, and personal growth come together under the expert guidance of Sensei Bill. Whether you’re a parent searching for a nurturing environment for your child or an adult seeking a holistic path to fitness and confidence, our dojo offers an inviting, family-friendly atmosphere that welcomes students of all ages and abilities.

Expertise You Can Trust

At the core of Open Call Martial Arts is Sensei Bill, a highly regarded instructor whose credentials and reputation speak volumes. Inducted into multiple martial arts Hall of Fames and recognized as one of the top practitioners in the Tri-State area, he brings decades of experience—both as a skilled Okinawan martial artist and a stunt professional. Students and parents alike praise his unwavering dedication; “Sensei Bill truly puts his heart and soul into his school and students,” says one impressed family. His leadership sets the standard for every class, ensuring that each lesson is rooted in genuine expertise and time-tested tradition.

Personalized Attention & Inclusive Training

We believe that effective learning happens when instruction is tailored to the individual. That’s why Sensei Bill is joined by two assistant instructors in beginner classes, guaranteeing smaller student-to-teacher ratios and the opportunity for one-on-one feedback. From children just stepping onto the mat to adults refining advanced techniques, every student receives the personalized guidance they need. Parents of students with ADHD and other special needs consistently highlight Sensei Bill’s patience and adaptability—qualities that transform martial arts training into an empowering, inclusive experience for all.

Fostering Confidence & Personal Growth

The impact of martial arts at Open Call Martial Arts goes far beyond punches and kicks. Through structured drills, meaningful challenges, and positive reinforcement, students develop self-discipline, respect, and perseverance. One parent shares, “My daughter has been in Sensei’s class for a year now and the discipline she has gained has positively affected her grades and home life.” As your child masters new skills, you’ll witness a remarkable boost in their confidence—an attribute they carry into every aspect of their daily routine.

A Family-Friendly Atmosphere

From the youngest 4-year-old eager to try karate for the first time to seasoned adults expanding their practice, our dojo thrives on community spirit. Tuesday nights light up with enthusiastic beginners, while weekend sessions offer advanced workshops for experienced students. Families bond through shared progress and celebrate one another’s milestones—belt promotions, tournament participation, or simply mastering a challenging form. At Open Call Martial Arts, every student is part of our extended martial arts family.

Holistic Skill Development & Martial Arts Philosophy

Our curriculum transcends physical technique, immersing students in the rich philosophy of Okinawan tradition. Classes emphasize vital life skills—leadership, communication, respect, and concentration—that prepare students for real-world challenges. There’s no room for ego or “tough guy” posturing here; instead, we cultivate a supportive environment where humility and perseverance flourish. As one student notes, “Aside from the martial art itself, there’s a great opportunity to learn real-world skills including communication, leadership, discipline, and respect.”

Private Lessons for Focused Progress

For those seeking an even deeper, individualized experience, Open Call Martial Arts offers private lessons. These one-on-one sessions allow Sensei Bill to tailor training plans that accelerate progress, refine specific techniques, or address unique physical and learning needs. Whether you’re aiming for competitive excellence or simply desire targeted feedback, our private instruction ensures your goals remain in sharp focus.

Active Community Involvement

Open Call Martial Arts stands out not only for its instruction but also for its commitment to service. Sensei Bill partners with the Desert Knights Motorcycle Club to deliver essential resources to homeless individuals in the region—embodying the dojo’s belief that martial arts responsibility extends beyond the mat. This ongoing outreach underscores our mission to build stronger communities, inspire civic engagement, and lead by example.
