Senpai Elverston began his Shidokan journey in 2011, training under the guidance of Shihan JJ Burnel in London. His dedication and commitment to the art led to him being awarded his Shodan (1st Dan) black belt in June 2024, in Nice, France, under the supervision of Shihan José Galluccio.
Prior to Shidokan, Nick trained in Seishindo, originally taking up the discipline to improve his self-defence skills—particularly to keep up with his Japanese wife’s kung fu prowess!
Passionate about health and fitness both inside and outside the dojo, Nick is a fully qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer. He uses his expertise to help others improve their physical conditioning, strength, and overall martial arts performance.
