who is Master Bill (William G. Snyder)

**dinstitute** · Posted On: 7/02/2008 12:09pm

This is my first post so excuse me if I am being repetitive.

I grew up in Oakland County where "Master Bill" had his school. The first time that I ever met him was in 1991 at a Kickboxing event hosted by Kerry Roop (a legitimate World Champion). Bill looked very overweight and out of shape. The thing I remember most about him was that while he was wrapping his fighters hands he would continue to eat off of the buffett. Eat a couple meatballs - wrap some guaze - eat some potato salad - put some tape on the hands. The big joke from that point on was that Master Bill was a Master of eating.

Jump ahead 15 years. I went home to visit family and I saw that he had relocated his school down the street from my parent's home. I went in to check out a class but I was too early, so I sat and talked with him. He looked to be in about the same type of shape as 15 years earlier. Bill went on and on about all the Hall of Fames he had been inducted into and all his extensive training over in Thailand. He told me that he had a couple of fighters getting ready for World Titles but couldn't remember which organizations.

The last thing that I have heard about him was that he was forced by the County to close his school, however my friend didn't know exactly why.

I myself would rather learn from videos than from this guy!

which school was he at. since i've been there he has been in 3 places. he was leaving Rumph's and opening a school at the old hardware store down from mace day lake. he opened one just north of adersonville rd on dixie. then got kicked out of the old hardware store for not paying the rent. he's currently working on getting kicked out of the last one.

The school that I visited him at was on Williams Lake Road. I didn't realize that he had been moving around that much. It's nice to see someone from your neck of the woods, shoot me at email at Dinstitute@aol.com.

I look forward to talking with you.

Rob: It's been a long time since I've been back to Michigan for an extended period of time, so I do not remember your name, sorry. However, I'm sure I would remember your face, especially if we trained together.. I am doing well. Send me an email or a friend request on facebook. I am always looking to connect with fellow martial artists, especially from the Michigan area.

So, I take it you aren't going to bother actually providing anything of value, such as any proof regarding his training background, accomplishments, excuses for his physical condition etc?
