Growing up, Javill found martial arts to be a great outlet to express himself. Throughout his adolescent years, Byron trained in Judo, Sambo, Kyokushin karate, submission grappling, knife fighting, silat, kali, boxing, kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Practicing martial arts every week was a great way for Javill to stay out trouble and connect with a likeminded group of people. These years training ultimately provided Javill with a foundation of honor, discipline, and respect which continues to guide him in business today. Knowing how impactful martial arts was in his own life, Javill set out to give other kids the opportunity to share the same experience by becoming a martial arts coach himself.
As the founder of WMB Training Center, Javill Byron helps students become more confident and excel in varying aspects of their life. Being able to help students who started out shy, weren’t able to communicate well, were getting bullied, or even with ADHD and Autism, has been the most fulfilling aspect of his career.
