Stephen Davidson IKMF Krav Maga Instructor Bournemouth Instinctive Krav Maga
Stephen Davidson has been studying martial arts for over 15 years.
He began by practising the Japanese art of karate which he studied for a couple of years. Whilst studying this art Stephen became interested in other martial arts and street aspects of personal safety and self defence.
At 19 Stephen began to train in Chinese martial arts under the Guidance of Sifu Mateus Owens at the Shaolin Society for self defence. He continues to train with Sifu Mateus attaining his black sash in November 2009, and is grateful for his expert guidance and teachings. While training in gung fu Stephen was encouraged to cross train.
Stephen began training primarily in the full contact art of Thaiboxing under Khru Glenn Lewis, a fantastic trainer and still enjoys training with Glenn in this very efficient art. In addition to these arts Stephen also trains in JKD and Escrima under the tutelage of Keith James who has also helped Stephen in his martial development.
Stephen has competed in various disciplines and trained abroad in China in Sanda (Chinese Kickboxing). Although Stephen enjoys competing he realised that this was very different from real life confrontations he had encountered.
Stephen has trained with and attended numerous seminars with instructors over the years including Dan Inosanto, student of Bruce Lee and Danny Guba, head of the European Doces Pares headquaters and Thaiboxer Detcha Rodraska who owns the Lanta Muay Thai Gym.
Since December 2008 Stephen has achieved instructor status in the tried and tested Israeli self defence system of Krav Maga with the International Krav Maga Federation. He has studied this system with the world leading IKMF and has been lucky enough to be trained by Eyal Yanoliv the Head Instructor of the IKMF and master level instructor in the system as well as receiving tuition from other IKMF Global Instructors.
