Toby has delivered several bespoke Martial Arts classes, which have run over several weeks, to children who attend our practice which provides therapy support to children with learning difficulties, some of whom are on the autistic spectrum.

 

Toby’s communication with the students has always been calm and he has ensured that there is a safe, comfortable environment for them to train and learn Martial Arts at a level and pace that is appropriate to each child. Due to Toby’s attention to each child’s needs they have quickly built a trusting relationship with him and enjoy attending the classes. Some of the children we support have not engaged in group activities before and therefore this trust is very important to establish in what could otherwise be a very challenging environment for them. Toby also endeavours to ensure each child feels supported and grows in confidence as well as helping them improving their coordination skills and body awareness.

 

We have no hesitation in Toby working with us again and are planning for him to provide more classes with our service in the coming months

For over five years, I have been a student at Tiger Strike Martial Arts, and the experience has had a significant impact on my personal development. Before joining TSMA, I had tried multiple martial arts classes, hoping to find a place where I truly felt connected, but none of them felt right for me. That changed when I began training at TSMA.

TSMA has not only taught me self-defence but has also guided me toward discipline, confidence, and genuine self-belief. At school, I was always a quiet person, yet TSMA became a space where I could express myself more freely and grow into a more confident version of who I am. TSMA teaching style is brilliant. They understand how to support each student individually, and their guidance has been key to my progress.

Our children have benefitted from training  with Toby for a number of years now. Toby has a real gift in being able to teach children martial arts in a very clear way that they can understand, apply and most importantly enjoy. The children leave each class able to explain the new concepts they have learned, and why they have learned them, before of course demonstrating their techniques on us! We are delighted with the progress that they continue to make with Toby in Kung Fu and martial arts more generally.

My 5 year old son is a student at Tiger Strike. Initially I thought he’d be too shy, and after discovering he’d be the youngest student, I didn’t think he’d stick it out. Now after 6 weeks, he absolutely loves it! Toby and the other students have really made my son feel welcome, and actively help him with his training. He is soon to be graded for his next belt, which he is very excited about! And needless to say mum and dad are very proud! I would highly recommend Tiger Strike. Keep up the great work Toby!

My son loves Toby’s classes. Held in a friendly atmosphere, they are both relaxed and disciplined and he looks forward to them every week. There is an excellent mix of instruction and fun and I have watched his technical abilities and physical confidence grow remarkably over the year he has been attending.
