Introducing Steven Feeney, our newest team member

We just wanted to introduce our newest full time member of staff, Steven Feeney. If you are a regular kickboxer you will know him well but for everyone else, he has been studying martial arts for 12+ years — notably capoeira, muay thai boxing and kickboxing.

He was part of our leadership team last year and really enjoyed the teaching and training lifestyle and moved over to full time at EMA. He will also have admin responsibilities so if you want to join us or are already a member and want to upgrade to train more, he is your man.

He is also a published short story and poetry writer and enjoys playing D&D in his spare time. Please say hi if you see him in the gym/dojo.
