Sempai Trevor Brooks

Trevor is an old friend of Sandokai's, having trained with many of Sandokai's instructors many years ago when they were members of Bujinkai Karate. Trevor originally took up Karate training under the direction of Sensei Alex Blamey at Penryn in the early 1990s. In those days the Dojo used was the old Boy's Boxing Club, which was in a poor state of repair at the best of times. He progressed to Green belt in the Sandokai system when unfortunately the club was suspended from training for a period as the floor literally fell away into the river below the building!

Trevor moved to a club nearer his home town of Camborne but had to change styles to Shotokan Karate, in which he progressed to 1st Dan.

Similarly this club closed down after the lead Instructor moved away, and after a period of not training (just over a year), Trevor found a Sandokai club had recently opened in Camborne under Sempai Fran Long. He was welcomed back into the fold and is glad to be re-acquainted with some of his previous mentors.

A popular and skilled instructor, Trevor is juggling the demands of his work life, helping out with teaching at the Camborne and Devoran dojo and training for his 2nd Dan.
