Bowker Biography:
Steven S. Iverson

 

Steven S. Iverson: I have been a student of the martial arts for over a decade and have always found the subject fascinating. I initially studied Tae Kwon Do while in college and later practiced American style boxing. I scoffed at the offer to practice Judo at the time, not knowing that I would later regret this decision. These other interests were quickly eclipsed when the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) burst onto the American martial arts scene in the early 1990's. With the advent of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and the success of BJJ in reality contests, I quickly became an avid BJJ enthusiast. I felt that there had been an evolution in fighting and that the traditional stand up arts were neither realistic nor effective when put to the test. Because there was no BJJ at my university, I practiced traditional Judo and self-studied BJJ with the aid of seminars by Rickson Gracie, Rorion Gracie, Rolker Gracie, Caique and Gustavo Machado to name the most knowledgeable instructors. I eventually studied pure BJJ when I moved to Washington, D.C. where I was able to practice gi fighting, sambo, and submission wrestling. In an effort to continue learning and convey some of what I had been fortunate enough to learn through my experiences, I wrote Submission Fighting Techniques in the winter of 2001/2002.
