Steven Han wanted to be a physical therapist until he saw a few wrong moves.
A fan of mixed martial arts, he spotted flaws in the ring while watching UFC fights during his time at Pennsylvania State University.

Han, 25, moved to the Bay Area two years ago from New York after completing his studies in kinesiology at Penn State. Now he is the owner and strength coach of Omni Movement, a mixed martial arts and athletic training facility in Point Richmond.
The center, which has been unofficially open since this summer, offers an open gym, training in Thai kickboxing, dynamic stretch, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Olympic weightlifting and sports performance.
