Trevor Steward Renshi. Born in Barnet, Hertfordshire in 1968. Trevor began his martial arts training under the personal direction of Kevin Pell Hanshi in 1994.
It was clear within his first 12 months of training that Trevor was ideally suited to the art of Ishin Ryu Ju-Jitsu, so much so that he was selected to become a member of the Ishin Ryu Ju-Jitsu Combat Training Wing. He has travelled the world alongside Kevin Pell Hanshi as an assistant instructor, having personally taught in Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Finland and The United States of America. Trevor has personally participated in many instructor level courses taken by members of the British Special Forces incorporating the specialists skills of practical pistol, surveillance, counter intelligence and close protection. These courses have added to the extensive knowledge and experience offered by instructors on the Combat Training Wing within Ishin Ryu Ju-Jitsu. |
