Keith Simpson
Keith Simpson has been a student of Internal Martial Arts for 35 years, beginning his journey as a young boy exploring various traditions from around the world. His keen interest and natural inclination for Chinese Internal Arts grew and after studying with a number of teachers of Qi Gong, Tai Qi Chuan and Ba Gua Zhang, Keith met his current teacher,Roy Jenzen. He has been a senior student and teacher of the European wing of Roy’s international school of Internal Intent for the past 15 years, training intensively with his teacher, exploring Nei Fa (Internal Method), Xing Yi Chuan, Ba Gua Zhang and more alchemical and shamanic practices. Keith teaches workshops in the UK, Europe and Australia as well as having his own regular classes and students in Brighton, England. He is known for his natural ability as a teacher to connect with and guide his students into their own embodied understanding of Internal Arts with clarity and passion.
Keiths almost lifelong journey down the path of Chinese medicine was inspired by his godfather when he was 9. Through having treatments and discussions about the five elements and Chinese characters a knowing developed that this was his calling. He initially trained at The College of Integrated Chinese medicine in the UK. He was the youngest student they had ever had at the time. As a practitioner of Chinese Medicine for over 30 years, Keith has continued training with a number of world renowned practitioners of different classical lineages of Chinese medicine. He continues to deepen his practise through this ongoing study. Keith is a natural healer who embodies his knowledge and understanding of the deeper movements of the body and spirit in his work with patients.
I’ve been drawn to Chinese martial arts since living in Hong Kong as a young boy. I began studying external styles of Kung Fu 20 years ago and as I got older became curious about and sought out the internal arts.
I joined the Internal Intent school in 2013 and have dedicated myself to the practice – having found a martial way that works much deeper than simply learning how to fight better or generate more power.
Studying with Roy, Keith and other senior students across Europe has been a transformational experience and I’m happy to be offering classes on the border of Devon and Cornwall.
