Stephen Brooks

Master Instructor Stephen Brooks, 6th Dan Karate, is head of Phoenix Martial Arts, one of the most respected and successful martial arts organisations in the UK.

Stephen had his first full contact bout in 1985 and in the same year established Phoenix Schools of Martial Arts. This signalled the start of a illustrious teaching and fighting career that would comprise winning the Martial Arts illustrated Championships, fighting in the Clash of The Titans, gaining four National Karate Championships, one National Kata Championship and two National Kickboxing Championships.

A Senior Instructor for the E.K.G.B and qualified to teach self-defence by the martial arts commission, Stephen has taught and trained both the Police and Army personnel. In 1992 he fought 101 Black Belts for Charity and has through his association raised close to one hundred thousand pounds for charities in th UK an achievement he is immensely proud of.

Stephen is a remakable teacher, leader and communicator whose passion for Martial Arts is  surpassed only by his love for and dedication to his wife Elisa and two children. The enjoyment and pride that teaching Martial Arts brings never diminishes, for as he is fond of quoting on numerous occasions; "Choose a job you like and you will never work a day in your life" - Confuscious
