KEWAP Founder's Profile


  •  

    KEWAP Founder & C.I - Steven Timperley

    Steven holds of a wide variety of national accredited qualifications to instruct weapons awareness and recognition, physical intervention and fitness related activities. He is also highly qualified to teach personal security, self-defence and an array of pragmatic martial arts systems. Over the years he has amassed a wealth of practical knowledge and firsthand experience relating directly to violence in its various forms.

    Steven served twenty-two years in the British Army from 1986 - 2008. He completed seven operational tours of duty, many of which he was employed in specialist roles in often hazardous and hostile environments. After one particular operational deployment he was awarded a ‘General Officer Commanding’s Commendation’ for services rendered. During his military career Steven was an advisor and instructor to various military units regarding personal security, self-defence and physical intervention (C&R) training.

    For many years Steven has supported his local community teaching self-defence and advising various organisations including educational establishments (staff & pupils) on personal security issues. During his career he has gained a strong reputation as being an individual who cares and commits 100% to those he instructs and it is this dedication to others that has been reported as admirable on a variety of occasions. He has been featured heavily in various regional newspapers, appeared in numerous martial arts magazines, as a guest on BBC radio talking about personal security issues and on television with some of his students.

    To date Steven has been recognised both nationally and internationally for his contribution to the martial arts and he is fast becoming a much sort after Personal Safety Specialist. Impressively Steven was the first member of the Combined Armed Forces to have received the highly prestigious 'Lifetime Achievement Award' from the Register of Exercise Professionals in 2004.


  • Endorsement 1

    "Steve Timperley is not only a great coach, but he is someone with firsthand operational experience in dealing with life threatening situations. He was one of the Army's elite self-protection instructors whose pragmatic approach to training has yielded exceptional operational results.

    However, in spite of Steve's obvious exceptional ability and undisputed operational track record, he is a humble and likeable man who has a natural ability to make everyone seem at ease in his presence."
     

    Mark Dawes - National Tutor & Director of the National Federation for Personal Safety (NFPS) & Author of Understanding Reasonable Force.


  • Endorsement 2

    "Steven Timperley represents the modern face of Martial Arts and Self-Protection. He has forged a first-class system, blending the best of traditional martial arts and the modern concepts of personal combat.

    He has military experience to add to the mix and the end result is an effective system from a highly respected instructor."
     

    Peter Consterdine - Author, International Security Consultant & joint Chief Instructor of the British Combat Association.
