steven j. wong
Steven grew up in the Greater Toronto Area, the metropolis of Canada, and in his youth he was already a high achiever earning a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do by the age of 12, eventually leading to a national championship. He then transitioned to training traditional Hung Gar Style Kung Fu and several years later began instructing this deadly combat sport, an art form he has been committed to since 1986.

His dedication to martial arts and strength & conditioning created a thirst to learn more about the science and biomechanics behind all the fancy flying high kicks and powerful strikes. Steven literally became obsessed with perpetual learning while teaching others the secrets to his success, commonly having 60+ students show up for his classes when other instructors would average less than a dozen. In 2013, Steven accepted a position with the Canadian National Mixed Martial Arts Federation as a National Director and was appointed as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for Team Canada.
His knowledge, guidance and coaching has resulted in high level championships for his roster of athletes which reads like a who’s who list of elite pro such as Elvis Stojko (3 time world champion ice skater, 4x Olympic athlete and world champion Hung Gar style Kung Fu), Dion Phaneuf (NHL all-star), Ashley Kaltwasser (3x Ms Olympia Bikini), Georges St-Pierre (13x UFC Champion) and also includes organizations such as the Nike Performance Center who contracted his services for elite training protocols customized for Lebron James.
His martial arts expertise also paved the way to an early career as an Executive Protection Specialist and Private Investigator while he was still finishing highschool and helped fund his university tuition. Steven has provided executive protection for some of the biggest executives across various industries, celebrities and musicians such as Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson and Madonna to name a few.
