Kevin is Chief Instructor to A.T.S.K. He was born in 1965 in Kempston near
Bedford, England. In the early 1980's he developed an interest in the martial arts and, after
looking at Judo and Kung Fu, decided in 1983 to enrol at a local Shotokan Karate club run by
Sensei John Van Weenen.
In 1988 Kevin was awarded Shodan (1st Dan), and over the next fifteen years achieved Godan (5th Dan). In 1996 Kevin started a project to produce good quality information about Shotokan Kata, including the history and creators of each Kata. After two years he came up with a videotape: The Shotokan Karate Kata Videobook, which can now be bought nation-wide, and can also be found in some selected libraries. In December 1998, after mainly training under Sensei Van Weenen for sixteen years, Kevin decided it was time to move on and try to help further the advancement of Karate by setting up the A.T.S.K. Kevin still lives in Bedfordshire with his wife Julie and their two children. |
