Steve’s Martial Arts Journey started in 1983 when he was 14 years of age. He joined a local Taekwondo School and progressed to Black Belt in July 1989.
He continued in Taekwondo for another 4 years before starting in Karate 1993.
After obtaining his Black Belt in Karate he decided to join the Corporate World whilst still being active in his Martial Arts.
He found a local Hapkido dojang in 2003 and realized he has found his niche! After 5 years of training, he received his Black belt in 2007. Unfortunately, this local Club closed down and Steve joined Bayside Hapkido in 2013 which then became his Martial Arts Home.
At Bayside Hapkido he is now a dedicated Instructor who received his Kwan Nyom Hapkido Instructors Certification in Feb 2019. Steve enjoys training the Hawks, Falcons and Adults and is an encouraging mentor for all students.
Chad is a dedicated instructor and long-term student at Bayside Hapkido, with a strong focus on the growth and well-being of our kids’ program. With extensive experience working in youth detention programs, coaching rugby league and basketball, and supporting community youth events, Chad brings a deep understanding of how to connect with children from all walks of life.
He has a natural ability to meet kids where they are, building trust, confidence, and respect while helping each student understand their martial arts journey in a way that suits their own personality and strengths. Chad believes that learning martial arts is about more than technique; it’s about personal growth, resilience, and learning how to carry yourself with confidence both on and off the mats.
Having faced and worked through his own challenges over many years, Chad brings a calm, patient, and grounded approach to teaching, understanding that progress looks different for every student.
Strongly guided by family, cultural, and community values, Chad brings those principles into every class. He encourages teamwork, humility, and mutual support, believing that when students work together toward their goals, they become not only better martial artists, but better people.
