I have nearly 25 years of teaching experience at Club, National and International level. I instruct in the following styles Traditional Ju - Jutsu, Kenpo Ju - Jutsu, Balintawak Escrima, Karate - Do, Karate - Jutsu, Western Boxing, Kickboxing, Kick - Jutsu, Pressure Point Fighting. Over the years I have taken great interest in the application of pressure points and have developed this as my specialist area of learning and teaching. I also teach Ladies Self - Protection Courses around the Country, from village halls to sports centres.

I have trained on numerous courses and seminars through the years, all over the World, and I still enjoy it. I feel both enthused and humbled in the presence of Masters and Students alike. Budo has pushed me to my limits both physically and emotionally but more importantly it has shown me a spiritual pathway to see what is true.

In closing, I would like to thank all the people who have positively influenced me and helped to make me the Martial Artist I am today.


Thank You

Shihan Steve Baker,
6th Dan
