Private Training
With Bob Heinemann
A private practice built entirely around you.
Many people find what they're looking for in a group class.
Some people need something different.
A practice designed around their specific body, their specific history, and the specific outcomes they're working toward.
This is where privates work best.
What it is
This is for the professional who performs at a high level in every area of life and has realized that what's missing isn't more discipline or more effort. It's a practice that meets the nervous system where it actually is.
This is for the serious practitioner who has been training for years and wants direct access to an instructor who will identify what's holding them back and build a development plan around where they're actually trying to go.
This is for the parent who has watched their son or daughter struggle with anxiety and tried everything, therapy, medication, conventional fitness, and is looking for something that works on the body and the mind simultaneously.
This practice has been that thing for young people who couldn't find it anywhere else.
If you recognize yourself or someone you care about in any of these, this is worth a conversation.
Who this is for
“Martial arts is the perfect compliment to the spiritual path that I am on. It has improved my relationship with my inner-self and teaches me to be kind and gentle with myself in the face of new challenges. Every time I leave SIMA I feel more grounded, focused and in touch with my truth. I'd say training has improved my ability to be in the moment. It's also made me feel like a stronger agent of peace in the world.” - Dustin Washington, consultant.
“A lot has improved in my life since I started training with Guro Bob. I am a recovering alcoholic and training has helped me stay focused on my recovery and living a healthier lifestyle. Training martial arts has definitely improved my self-esteem It is also helped me with my confidence in life and has become a way for me to relieve my stress and anxiety” - Andrew B
Every private training relationship at SIMA begins the same way… with a Discovery Call.
Not a sales conversation. A genuine conversation about where you are, what you're working toward, and whether this is the right fit for both of us. Bob takes on a limited number of private students specifically so that every relationship gets the attention it deserves.
From there, if it makes sense to move forward, the work is built entirely around you.
Your starting point. Your goals. Your schedule. Your body.
The disciplines that serve you most; whether that's Filipino Kali, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or the integrated practice that draws from all of them. The pace that challenges without overwhelming.
This is the Your Practice, Your Path philosophy made completely literal. The art serves the practitioner. Not the other way around.
Sessions are available at the SIMA studio in West Seattle, and for qualifying clients, at your home or location of choice.
What private training looks like
Bob Heinemann has spent 25 years watching people discover they are more capable than they thought.
His background spans Filipino Kali under Guro Dan Inosanto, Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, alongside Washington State certifications in Defensive Tactics and Use of Force.
But the credential that matters most in private training isn't the lineage. It's the ability to read a student, to understand what they need, how they learn, and what pace serves their development, and build accordingly.
Seattle Integrated Martial Arts was recently featured in USA Today for its approach to mental health, human performance, and practical personal safety.
That recognition reflects something Bob's private students have known for years: this practice changes people in ways that extend far beyond the mat.

Step 2 — First Session
An initial session where Bob assesses where you are, what you're working with, and what a development plan built around you looks like.
