With over 45 years of personal experience in martial arts and almost 30 years as a health practitioner, Stephen has dedicated his life to studying and teaching Eastern philosophy, martial arts, meditation, yoga, and personal training. He has trained under many of the masters who originally brought martial arts to Australia and holds senior belts in several styles, including three senior black belts.
Stephen is recognized as the founder and head teacher of Ren Shen Dao, a compassionate martial art based on a combination of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese martial arts. Eastern philosophy, martial arts, yoga, meditation, shiatsu, and Chinese medicine are the backbone of his healing and martial arts methods. Stephen believes that martial arts should only be used in self-defense.
While teaching and working in health and martial arts, he also worked in other roles, including executive and director positions in the corporate sector. In December 2000, he was finally able to unite his part-time passions for physical training and the practices of acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbal medicine, as well as shiatsu and other massage styles, and began to do what he loved full-time.
Stephen brings a unique style of practice that achieves results that standard acupuncture is unable to produce by itself. His style is particularly useful for those who dislike needles or find dry needling painful.
