Steve has been involved in martial arts since the early 70s and like many got his inspiration from Bruce Lee movies. Which exploded onto the big screen at that time.

Steve studied both judo and karate to a high level before deciding that he wanted something a bit different from his martial arts training. In 1983 Steve began searching for alternatives and came across the Chinese kung fu style of Wing Chun although the training in techniques was very basic in those days due to a general lack of knowledge. Steve soon became hooked and searched for further instructions. 

This was not too far away as Master Samuel Kwok was in a martial arts magazine for pupils, and immediately Steve contacted Master Kwok. The rest is history. Steve is now Grandmaster Kwok’s most senior instructor in the north of England. 

Not only has he been training with him since 1984, but he also had the privilege of training with Grandmasters Ip Ching & and Ip Chun.

Some words from Grandmaster Samuel Kwok:

Steve Colton is one of my most dedicated students . He trained hard and spending half his life promoting Wing Chun. He worked as a nurse assistant and helped to protect the nurses with his Wing Chung skills against violent patients . He have trained many students over the years .
