History

Steve Joseph was born in the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia on December 1st 1964 and grew up in London’s East End. Joseph became active in a wide range of sport including Judo, boxing and Athletics. At 25 years Joseph won the British welterweight kickboxing Championships followed onto the European and World Superwelterweigh Kickboxing Championships. During the ensuing decade, Steve’s activities focused mainly on teaching and the development of ShinKen-Do.

A Far Right Group named The National Front grew enormously in numbers and by 1970s had between 16,000 and 20,000 members by 1974 and 50 local branches

Around this time, some skinheads became affiliated with far right groups such as the national Front and the British Movement. </ref> The growing numbers of National Front skin head members engaged in violence against South Asian Members (an act known as Paki bashing in common slang)and attacks onto Black West Indians at most.

It was on those occurrence that Joseph was attacked returning home from a Dojo training in Chingford Essex.

After the attack realizing that learning a single system would confine one to the limits of that style and was not always practical for the aggressive and brutal nature of a street adrenalin attack scenario. He thought by adjoining styles one would be better equipped to handle diversified methods of attack. It was then that he started to re-evaluate his ideas about the Martial Arts. He began to gather knowledge in how to box, escape from holds, apply footwork, low leg kicking techniques coupled with street-fighting tactics. He went on to developed unique skills and techniques that would eventually become ShinKen-Do.

The system was originally named “Sun Kune Do” after a sparring session with oriental training partner who stated it was a “ New Martial Art ” resulting in the system being called its English title “New Fist Way” It later changed to the Japanese term due mainly to the heavily Japanese influence in techniques, uniform and etiquette.
