Under Tom’s tutelage, he learned the fundamental building blocks of whole body force, and a progressive format for how to develop it. A year later he also began training under Tom in Liang Zhen Pu Bagua Zhang. In 1998 he began training under Tom Bisio in Hebei (Tang Shou Tao ), Xing-Yi Chuan, and Shanxi Xing Yi Chuan. He began training in the Wing Chun system of Kung fu (two within Hong Kong Yip Man versions and one mainland), and briefly trained in Bagua for the first time, and was also exposed to the Northern Praying Mantis system. Towards the end of his teens and into his early twenties he became fascinated with the Chinese martial arts. Throughout his teens, he also had the opportunity to cross-train in several martial traditions of not only of Japanese, but also of Okinawan, Korean, and Filipino origin. This system emphasized traditional values coupled with practical modern combative methods. He initially studied the Japanese martial arts, eventually earning the rank of Shodan (first degree black belt) under Ronald Duncan in his Way of the Winds system. Steve began his studies of the martial arts in his early teens.
