Having started in boxing, Tony has progressed to completely embrace the discipline and culture of martial arts and kickboxing. He has a hard work ethic which he instils into his students, as he pushes them through their paces.

Perhaps as a result of this stringent approach, Tony has trained people to the level of black belt over the last decade and is always a favourite at the Friday night grading shows.

Tony has fight experience in both traditional boxing and light-contact kickboxing (WAKO British championships 1999).
