Steven Horwood began his Shotokan Karate training in 1995 in Vancouver BC.
In the SKA, he found an organization dedicated to karate in a way that made lifelong training become a realistic possibility for him.
Training with Norman Welch at the weekly seniors practice and attending his first special training at camp Elphinstone are among his strongest early impressions of the SKA. In 2002 he moved to Montreal and trained at the Westmount Dojo for a year before becoming a founding member of the Little Burgundy Dojo, training under Yodan Ryan Hill.
He obtained his Shodan at the summer special training at Bishops University here in Quebec in 2005. In August of 2007 he had the opportunity to train with Mr. Oshima for the Shodan practice at the Oshima Dojo in California. Currently he is completing a BFA in photography at Concordia University, with an added focus on video and drawing. He tries his best to live out his quotidian existence in French and absolutely loves Montreal.
