Saturday 5th May saw sensei Trevor Roberts from Coverack in Cornwall training at the Melksham Dojo with Hanshi Den Butler 9th Dan and some of his students.
Trevor was Dens senior student when he had 4 Dojo`s in Cornwall during the 1980s, then Den left Cornwall to live in Wiltshire and they lost touch. Trevor continued he`s training and recently they both got back in touch with each other.
Trevor arranged to spend a weekend at Dens Dojo in Melksham to study Genshin Ju Jitsu and after non stop training and deliberation regarding the differences and applications on the techniques,Trevor decided he wanted to rejoin Den once more and continue with his training, hopefully opening his own Dojo in Coverack.
Trevor`s training has spanned 25-30 years so after the weekend training Trevor was surprised to be awarded he`s 5th Dan Masters Degree, he had no idea that all weekend he had been under the watchful eye of Hanshi Den.
Trevors 5th Dan Masters Degree is now recognised by the Cobra Martial Arts Association.
Trevor will be revisiting Melksham Dojo within the next few months…..Brilliant !!
