Instructor Biography

Steve Sensei is a General Practitioner who works in the Swansea area.He began his training in Bujinkan Budo taijutsu in 1989. He achieved his Godan (5th dan) in that system in 1999. In February 2000, he travelled to Atlanta to attend a seminar with Manaka sensei hosted by John Orth. He was very impressed with what he experienced there in terms of Manaka sensei's movement as well as his openess.

Steve decided to join the Jinenkan, leaving behind his previous grade and once again becoming a white belt. Steve continued his studies both in the UK and abroad at seminars and at Honbu Dojo.
In October 2003 , during Manaka sensei's first visit to the UK, Steve passed the test for the rank of Sandan , and shortly after was granted the title of Dojo-cho.

Since this time, Steve has worked tirelessly for the development of the Jinenkan in the UK, teaching seminars throughout the Country. He has also continued to take every available opportunity train with Manaka Sensei in order to increase his own knowledge.
