Head Coach: Tom Cheviot

Welcome! I am thrilled to have you! Allow me to introduce myself; my names  Tom Cheviot I am the owner and head instructor of Virtue. I am a passionate martial artist with an extensive background in Brazilian Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts. With 15 years of experience in both competition and teaching, I have dedicated my life to mastering these disciplines and sharing my knowledge.

​

Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of training with some of the most renowned instructors and competing against talented athletes from around the world. These experiences have not only shaped me as a martial artist but also as an individual committed to personal growth and development.

​

As an instructor I have guided and empowered students of all ages and skill levels. Witnessing their progress, both on and off the mats, has been incredibly rewarding. I firmly believe that martial arts not only strengthen our bodies but also foster resilience, self-confidence, and a sense of community.

​

Prior to starting Virtue Martial Arts, I also worked as a social worker in Massachusetts for 7 years. This invaluable experience allowed me to connect with diverse at-risk communities and people during challenging times in their lives. This taught me the importance of compassion, empathy, and the profound impact we can have on others lives.

​

Combining my expertise in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, and my background in social work, I strive to create a unique learning environment that goes beyond physical techniques. My teaching approach focuses on holistic development, emphasizing mental fortitude, self-awareness, and a positive mindset.
