WELCOME to
Hanshi Kevin O'Connors web site  Welcome to my site. I hope you will find it interesting for both martial arts, and non martial artists alike. Sometime ago now life was turned upside down by lies laid down in the gutter press, where there was far more fiction than fact. A trial by media ensued. This was compounded by fellow instructors, (in the UK at least), taking advantage and proceeded to break up the very successful BKJK (a non profit orginisation), in order to build there own ego's and groups. Forming fragmented small pockets of schools and associatons. From that day I vowed never to teach in the U.K. again. Working with, and building relations with top quality sensei, masters and coaches abroad. People who, because they were'nt governed by personal gain, could look beyond the lies and fiction and remained loyal. Focusing on knowledge and ability and an openess to share those qualities with each other. Many contact me today to learn the true facts, which I am always willing to share and discuss. Many becoming friends, resulting in opportunities to travel abroad teaching, passing on what I have learned and in so doing continue to learn myself.
