Michael J. Doyle was born in Dublin Ireland in 1967. Raised in a tough neighborhood, Mick’s father, Robbie, thought it would be a good idea that his son had some training in the Martial Arts. Robbie had previously trained with Joseph Canning in Wado Ryu Karate under the instruction of Grandmaster Meiji Suzuki. So at the age of 7, Mick started his Martial Arts journey.

During his first two years of training, Mick had his share of problems. He couldn’t win a match; he would rather be playing soccer and running the streets with his friends. He wanted to quit. He had had enough. His father said, “No.” Robbie told Mick to do as Sensei Joe said and just train properly for a one tournament. If he did like Joe said and still lost he would let Mick quit.

She became an internationally certified Kickboxing and Muay Thai judge in 1999, and shortly thereafter accompanied the National team and judged Ireland versus the United States in Dublin Ireland. She has been teaching at the gym since 1999.

Micah found Mick Doyle’s in 1996 due to a fascination with the Muay Thai fighting style.
