Stephen Finch - 3rd Dan
Stephen is presently working and training in China. He has studied extensively since 1999 in Chinese Martial Arts and is now mastering the Art of Baguazhang and has decided to go to University in China to work on his second University Degree, in Chinese!
Recently Stephen has contacted Goshin Jutsu to tell us that he is no longer able to continue to practice Baguazhang because of a recurring knee injury. He is currently being trained in a form of medical qigong which is to treat his knee injury.
