Instructor Steve – Specialist in Personal Safety, Defensive Training & Motivational Development

Steve is a certified Level Two Instructor in The Real Combat System—an advanced qualification held by only 16 individuals worldwide. He completed his instructor training under Matty Evans and Tony Somers, two of Geoff Thompson’s most accomplished and respected students. He is also a registered instructor with the British Combat Association.

With a background in Boxing, Krav Maga, and The Real Combat System, Steve brings a practical and results-driven approach to self-defence and personal protection training.

In addition to his martial arts credentials, Steve is a qualified Health and Safety Consultant and a Chartered Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH). He provides specialist consultancy services to businesses across the UK, advising on all aspects of workplace safety, personal protection, and conflict management. His expertise includes preparing personnel for deployments in high-risk international environments.

Steve’s training is grounded in real-world experience. Having worked in frontline roles including door supervision, he understands the dynamics of conflict beyond the training environment. This practical insight underpins his belief that effective self-defence must be simple, instinctive, and immediately applicable under pressure.

“Violence is never desirable. The priority is always to escape if possible. But when escape is not an option, individuals must be prepared to act decisively to protect themselves or others. In such situations, speed, assertiveness, and clarity of action are critical.”

Steve is also a published author of Lessons Learned Without a School - The book you wish you'd had when life hit the fan —a part-autobiography, part-motivational guide that shares real-world life lessons focused on resilience, mindset, and personal growth.
