Led by Experience & Passion
Welcome, my name is Sensei Tooze, the founder of Tyr-Do Karate Club. I have been practicing and teaching karate for approximately 20 years.
Loyal to my main Dojo, I have had opportunities up and down the country learning from some of the best as well as sharing my knowledge. My thirst for knowledge has given me opportunities in other styles while keeping my roots in Shotokan.

- The Path
A Journey of Dedication
Early Years
Discovery
Karate found me later in life, and from the very beginning it opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking, moving, and understanding myself.
Growth
Learning & Development
Throughout my time in karate, I have remained loyal to my main dojo while also taking every opportunity to learn from some of the best instructors up and down the country.
Expansion
Exploring Styles
My curiosity and respect for martial arts have led me to explore other styles. While my roots remain firmly in Shotokan, branching out has helped me gain a wider perspective.
Present
Teaching Philosophy
What started as training soon became a lifelong journey. I believe in passing on not just techniques, but the values and discipline that karate instills in every practitioner.

- Philosophy
Teaching Values
Karate, as I teach it, is about self-defence, not a declaration of war. It is about learning how to stay safe, avoid confrontation where possible, and move through life with confidence and awareness.
Discipline & Respect
Foundation of all martial arts training
Control & Responsibility
Power comes with accountability
Confidence Without Aggression
True strength is peaceful presence
