From clinch; irimi with elbow in to face,keeping body tight turn and take into kotegaesh.




The Aikido that my father taught me was Traditional Aikido as taught by Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. Aikido was a `martial art. To many the word `martial` is irrelevant and the word `art` appeals more to the tree huggers.

British Aikido Board Exposed.

Kenshiro Abbe Sensei and the early pioneers of Aikido in the UK could never have imagined that 50 years on, there would be a governing body for the art of Aikido, a governing body that would collude with a self-graded Mr Jack Poole to corrupt the true history of Aikido in the UK.

The BAB would attempt to create a history of crass lies and deceit to suit their own devious agenda.
Henry Ellis and Derek Eastman took their case first to the Minister for Sport at the `Houses of Parliament` - then to - `Sport England`.
The BAB were reprimanded for their crass conduct and instructed to give a written apology to Henry Ellis.
It is our aim to protect our proud history and lineage from those that create their own grades, titles and history.

 Future generations will one day look for the truth.
