In 1990 Kevin took up Ju Jitsu under the guidance of Shihan Mike Johnson of Go No Sen Ryu, training regularly at the Budokan, Frimley, Surrey and Farnborough Recreation Centre, Hants. Kevin soon discoveread Ju Jitsu offered everything a dedicated martial artist was looking for.

Renshi Kevin has his own way of teaching Ju Jitsu in a relaxed, good humoured and friendly way.
Kevin was awarded his 4th Dan by Shihan Mike Johnson in October 2002.
