Our formal yet friendly classes are taught by Sensei Tom Hoyle who holds a 1st degree black belt in Seishin Mizu Ryu Tatakai Jutsu. Sensei Hoyle is an experienced martial arts instructor who will encourage you to learn at your own pace whilst motivating you to unlock your fullest potential.

Tom also holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Eduardo Carriello (BJJ black belt) where he regularly competes in national level grappling tournaments. He has enjoyed success in competition at black belt level including being placed first in the SMRTJ groundfighting and Random Attacks (2008 and 2009).

He continues to study Seishin Mizu Ryu under nationally acclaimed Sensei Dr Richard Catterick who holds a 4th degree black belt in Seishin Mizu Ryu as well as teaching grades/qualifications in three other national Jiu Jitsu styles.
