Steven Kerr – Kata Instructor & Nidan (2nd Degree Black Belt, Judo)

Steven Kerr is a dedicated Judo instructor and Kata specialist at Judokaa Martial Arts, where he serves as one of the club’s most experienced and respected coaches. Holding the rank of Nidan (2nd Degree Black Belt), Steven brings a deep understanding of the technical and philosophical foundations of Judo to every class he leads.

Known for his patient, methodical teaching style, Steven specializes in Kata—the formal, pre-arranged forms of Judo that preserve the art’s classical techniques and principles. His ability to break down complex movements into clear, learnable steps has made him a favorite among both beginners and advanced students.

Despite his expertise, Steven views himself not as an authority, but as a guide and fellow learner on the Judo path. He believes the best instructors never stop being students themselves. His humility, attention to detail, and genuine care for each student’s growth have earned him a reputation as one of the best instructors at Judokaa Martial Arts.

Whether teaching Nage-no-Kata (throwing forms) or Katame-no-Kata (grappling forms), Steven’s goal is always the same: to help students build confidence, respect, and lifelong skill—on and off the mat.
