''Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and carry on as though nothing had happened"  Winston Churchill

The HCA Method.

Health & Combat Arts (HCA) was founded by Steve Hodgkinson - a martial arts, instructor, healer and published writer.

''I formed Health & Combat Arts to provide a home for all persons interested in developing themselves physically, mentally and spritually.  I believe that anyone can transform themselves and go on to live their dreams; as long as the required support and encouragement is there.'' Steve Hodgkinson 

Steve's lifelong passion of the martial and healing arts led him to create a structured, systemmatic and congruent system which he now passes on to all students / clients at HCA.  If you are interested in learning a martial art, improving your health and improving your life beyond measure then HCA is for you!

About Steve Hodgkinson

After many years of study and practice, Steve has reached the level of 4th Degree Black Sash in Wing Chun Kung Fu; a level that he has been awarded by both The British Combat Association and SKWCA.  He is also a certified instructor under Geoff Thompson in Self Protection and has been honoured as a permanent member of the Ving Tsun Athletic Association (Hong Kong). 

Steve is a qualified practitioner of Tui Na (an ancient Chinese method of hands-on healing), Qi Gong and Meditation; and also has many years of experience within the health & fitness industry.

''Although I started life as a naturally happy child with loving parents, I found myself over the years becoming very lost. A victim of mental & physical bullying in my early teenage years, I become depressed and serious. Leaving school with no qualifications and no love for life I, sadly, went off track and got heavily into drinking and fighting. Frankly I became a horrible person and started to see a bleak future ahead. I decided to get back into martial arts and began studying various healing methods; this led me onto a journey of extensive research, study and practice which led me to my current position in life where I am extremely happy and living a life that I had never thought possible.'' Steve Hodgkinson 

With his insatiable thirst for knowledge, Steve continues to hone both his martial and healing skills under the guidance of Alex Kozma.

            
''Steve Hodgkinson is my idea of what a great martial arts instructor should be.  He always puts himself out there and does the things needed to grow; even if it's something that scares him.  He invests heavily in his own skills and - very rare in martial arts circles - he encourages his students to do the same.  Steve is a great guy, any student looking for fast growth should feel very lucky and grateful to have him as their teacher.''
