The Betrayal of British Aikido History

Click photoexpose ` Martial Arts Encyclopedia ` [accessed over 195,000 times] Mr Jack Poole and the British Aikido Board conspired to change not only the legacy left by the late Budo Master Kenshiro Abbe Sensei but also the UK history of Karate - Kendo and Judo - This fraudulent conduct is also exposed on the following blogs ```British Aikido Board Exposed Blog ``` - - ``` Jack Poole Aikido Controversy Blog ``- What makes this whole disgraceful story of fraud and deceit of genuine Aikidoka of today and in the future, is the amount of people who despite the `proven facts ` were prepared to attempt to support not only Mr Poole but also the disgusting sham - maybe it was simply misguided loyalty - or maybe it was to protect their dubious grades ? - or perhaps it is both ?

`Positive Aikido` a perfect `Traditional` Gift

Available on Amazon USA & UK - Positive Aikido a true story of Traditional Aikido from its 1950s UK origins with the Budo legend Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. The book written by direct students Henry Ellis Shihan and Derek Eastman Shihan authored by senior USA news editor and student Dave Rogers Sensei. If you are looking for a factual traditional experience ? then this book is for you, then again, if your choice is fantasy Aikido, such as floating around the universe with a touch of magic Ki ? be warned this book is not for you, keep your money or put your money in a charity box. Happy reading – regards Henry Ellis

" Positive Aikido " The Book ~ Amazon

I am pleased to have been involved with my teachers Henry Ellis Sensei & Derek Eastman Sensei in the production of this book when visiting the author Dave Rogers Sensei in New Mexico USA. The book covers the history of the inception of Aikido to the UK by Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. its further development by the early pioneers. This book covers so much more than that ! This book is about Aikido the martial art, there is no references to harmonising with the planets or Ki magic. A book for the martial artist.
