Steve Krause(IV)
- Actor
Steve Krause was the son of a polish national who fought with the
British army during world war 2. After the war his father was
demobilized to Scotland where he married and setup home. Steve was born
and brought up in Glasgow, Scotland. From an early age Steve showed a
keen interest in Martial Arts and joined the newly formed Taekwondo
Academy in Glasgow which had been setup under Korean Master Rhee Ki Ha.
Steve became a successful student and eventual undefeated European
champion at Taekwondo. Steve began his martial arts instructors career
as a 4th Dan in Taekwondo, and eventual 7th Degree Master in Jeet Kune
Do, after further training at the Inosanto Institute in Los Angeles
under the Bruce Lee student, Dan Inosanto. On his return to Glasgow,
Steve started the Krauseworld Martial Arts Academy with his brother
Mike Krause. Krauseworld has trained over 30,000 martial artists in the
UK under Steve and Mike's guidance spanning a period of more than 30
years. It was Steve's notoriety as a martial artist in Scotland that
brought him to the attention of Scot's writer and Director Richard
Jobson (The Purifiers, 2004) and landed Steve the role as a consultant
and a part in the movie. Steve has since appeared in numerous media
articles and promotions in the UK, including featuring in the Sky TV's
'Hollywood in Your Home' feature production. Today, Steve still lends
some of his expertise at the Krauseworld Academy, but works more often
as a self defense and safety awareness consultant for many top UK
firms, and as a Personal Development Trainer and Coaching consultant.
