Thomas Davis
Blue Belt Coach
One of Mohawk Martial Arts original and most consistent students, Tom has seen everybody who's walked through the door. He's a blue belt under Mike Ryan and he has built a reputation as one of the most stubborn guys to get a tap on. His defensive skills are elite, and his striking is very strong, especially his question mark kick. He is currently an 0-1 amateur who had an early stoppage when he got kicked in the head and barely took a step back let alone get knocked down. A graduate of Medfield HS in 2023, he's one of those guys that you never judge a book by its unassuming cover.
