Hill's Martial Arts

Mr. Scott Hill

Mr. Scott Hill is a Fifth Degree Black Belt and Certified Instructor under Mr. Jason Patten. He began his Martial Arts training upon graduating high school. After wrestling for 6 years Mr. Hill needed a new challenge, so he began his training in kendo. He then found Patten’s Martial Arts.

In 1996, after earning his green belt, Mr. Hill began competing in full contact karate tournaments. Then drawing from his extensive grappling background, he pursued competing in Jiu Jitsu tournaments.

Once he achieved his First Degree Black Belt, Mr. Hill decided to expand his training to include many specialty art forms ranging from stick fighting, knife fighting, rapid assault tactics, submission fighting and close courters combat. “Become proficient in everything, stink at nothing” has always been a personal mind set of Mr. Hill’s training.

His passion for learning and training and his desire to make the world a better place put him on the path to teaching. His high energy training environment has encouraged many people to grow in mind, body and spirit. His fundamental philosophy of “family first” is reinforced in every stage of training.

Mr. Dave Seward

Mr. Seward received his Black Belt in 2005 and moved away from the school. Shortly after Mr. Seward took some time off, but when Mr. Hill opened his own school, he asked Mr. Seward if he was ready to start training again. Mr. Seward jumped at the opportunity and was as excited as he was at his very first class. Mr. Seward achieved the rank of 4th degree Black Belt in 2014 and is a gray stripe certified instructor. Mr. Seward is also the chief weapons instructor for the Sai, Tonfa, Escrima, Bo, Nunchukas, and Sword classes. In addition to martial arts, Mr. Seward owns and operates Extravagant Painting, Inc. which does private residential and commercial painting. In his spare time he also enjoys playing the guitar, exercising, and most importantly, spending time with family.
