Instructors
TROY MORRIS
Head coach
Troy has been training in kickboxing since the age of 12 and holds the rank of 2nd Dan Black Belt. With over a decade of martial arts experience, he has developed a deep understanding of the discipline, commitment and dedication required to progress in the sport.
Having qualified as a kickboxing coach in 2019, Troy has dedicated himself to developing students of all ages and abilities, helping them build confidence, improve their fitness and achieve their personal goals.
As the founder of Troy Morris Martial Arts, Troy has built TMMA around a clear vision: to create a welcoming, inclusive and supportive martial arts community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. What began as a small independent club has grown into an established martial arts organisation, with classes across multiple locations and its own dedicated training headquarters.
Troy’s coaching philosophy focuses on more than technical ability. He believes martial arts should develop discipline, resilience, self-belief and respect, with lessons that students can carry into everyday life.
Alongside his role as Head Coach, Troy also acts as the club’s Designated Safeguarding Lead, overseeing student welfare and helping maintain a safe, positive environment across TMMA.
Whether coaching a complete beginner, supporting a student through their grading journey or developing the next generation of martial artists, Troy remains committed to leading from the front and continually improving what TMMA offers its students.

Independent Safeguarding Support through BMABA
We understand that there may be occasions when someone feels more comfortable raising a safeguarding concern outside of the club.
As a member club of the British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA), students, parents, guardians and members can also seek independent safeguarding support through BMABA.
You do not have to raise a concern directly with our DSL if you would prefer not to. You can contact BMABA independently if:
-
You feel uncomfortable discussing a concern with the club’s DSL.
-
Your concern relates to the DSL or another member of club management.
-
You feel that a concern has not been appropriately addressed.
-
You would prefer to seek independent safeguarding advice or support.
