The leadership team is described as including Sensei Will, Hank, Roberts, Peter, and Tabitha. One parent, a former Marine of almost 12 years, stated that Sensei Will’s way with children led him to trust Sensei Will to teach his 5-year-old daughter and later train alongside her, and he described the teachers (Sensei Will, Hank, Roberts, Peter, and Tabitha) as an excellent group of dedicated teachers that know their stuff. Another parent from Rancho Bernardo described WCMAA as more than a martial arts school and as a community that has evolved MMA for parents and athletes, and noted earning a 3rd Degree Black Belt there after joining in 2012. Other students from Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, and Escondido described their experiences at West Coast Martial Arts Academy as outstanding, welcoming, and impactful, mentioning individual attention, preparation for real-world situations, and changes in confidence, strength, fitness, and daily routines.

The Pre-Teen and Teen program is described as being built on two pillars: Tony Blauer’s SPEAR System and Erik Paulson’s STX Kickboxing, which are described as two of the most evidence-based, street-tested self-defense systems available. The program description states that it is not traditional martial arts for trophies and calls it practical, proven training.
