About Tom
I am a passionate, dedicated, lifelong martial artist who has had the opportunity to see how much martial arts philosophy, lifestyle and training can benefit the mind, body and spirit and help us on the journey to growth and self-improvement. I’m a fully qualified and licensed instructor in the Crazy Monkey Defense martial arts system, and a registered instructor with the British Martial Arts and Boxing Association (BMABA). Over the last 20 years, I have trained extensively in a range of martial arts, ranging from Wing Chun, to Tai Chi and Krav Maga, but predominantly focusing on boxing, Muay Thai and Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Alongside the physical element of martial arts, I have also diligently studied martial arts philosophy in order to truly follow the martial path - this includes studying the writings of notable figures such as Jigaro Kano and Miyamoto Musashi, and the moral codes associated with the Budo arts. It was in particular these more combat sport orientated arts (boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu) which provided an incredible grounding in demonstrating what is proven to be effective against a resisting opponent, and greatly increased my skills in sparring against many strong and athletic individuals. However, these environments do not focus on the self-defence/street encounter mindset and the type of unique scenarios you may be faced with there, as well as an unhealthy competitive and egotistical mindset among many of those who train in sport environments. This led me to search for a practical approach to self-defence, grounded in a combat athletic base (boxing) but with a focus on a self-preservation, non-sporting mindset, soft skills and psychology of fear/violence, whilst also focusing on being the best version of oneself off the mat and in every area of our lives through a holistic approach including mindfulness and philosophy. I found this very approach in the Crazy Monkey Defense system, created by renowned martial artist and life performance coach Dr Rodney King. I knew that this was the path I had to follow and enrolled under Rodney’s mentorship in the Crazy Monkey trainers programme. Through this, I am now a licensed Crazy Monkey Defense trainer and wish to bring the benefits of this holistic approach to martial arts to as many people as I can in a safe, supportive and ego-free environment. Helping people to succeed in the martial arts of everyday life!

The approach you will find in my instruction of teaching martial arts and self-defence sets itself apart from the typical offering. In these lessons, the martial ART of boxing is taught first and foremost for the purpose of self-defence, including soft skills such as awareness, de-escalation and verbal jiu-jitsu. Defensive skills and protecting your head are given priority to ensure students have the best chance of escaping an encounter of interpersonal violence successfully, as well as considering other important elements such as being able to get back to standing safely should you be taken down to the floor. There is also a huge emphasis on the wider benefits that martial arts can bring to your life both on and off the mat - this includes personal growth, life performance and martial arts philosophy. All of these elements are comprehensively covered in a holistic way that focuses on mind, body and spirit. Classes can be provided either in a 1-1 setting or in small groups, both in person in Derbyshire and the Peak District as well as online. The focus here is on progressive and safe skill progression within the student's comfort levels. There is a comprehensive curriculum to work through within the Crazy Monkey Defense (CMD) system, and methods such as pad drills, scenario training, all the way through to sparring (if the student is comfortable and wishes to) is utilised to build the student's martial art, self-defence, and life performance skill set. I am a fully qualified and licensed Crazy Monkey Defense trainer under Dr Rodney King, delivering the CMD modern martial arts programme, helping you to navigate the martial arts of everyday life!
