The Betrayal of British Aikido History

Click photo for expose ` 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

Protecting UK Aikido History & Lineage

BRITISH AIKIDO

If UK Aikido history with its proud lineage is of interest to you ? then you will appreciate the content of this site, a site which exposes people who have little moral fiber, whose shameless conduct is without parallel in UK Budo history. This story does not revolve around just one man, it includes many people, and above all the very governing body `The BAB ` an organisation created to protect ` British Aikido ` - as the years pass the shameful are no less shameless.

Click image to visit the ` British Aikido Board - Exposed Website ` - Henry Ellis a direct student of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei from the 1950s - As one of the early pioneers of British Aikido - Ellis Sensei has been dedicated to protecting and preserving the true history and lineage of UK Aikido since its inception by Kenshiro Abbe Sensei in 1955 - and its promotion throughout the UK by Ken Williams Sensei and his dan grades - The British Aikido Board are guilty of attempting to corrupt the proud history and lineage - The whole disgraceful story is detailed on this site.- - - The two largest organisations within the British Aikido Board have resigned - The JAC and the BAA to pursue their affiliations with HQ Japan - This means the BAB have now lost approx 50% of it membership - with the majority of the BAB remaining members being self-graded and self-titled to which they bizarrely claim they are ````BAB Approved ```` .remember, the BAB executive presented Mr Poole with a bronze Samurai statue in recognition of his false claims - making Mr Poole " British Aikido Board Approved ".

Jack Poole 3rd dan Kodokan Judo

Important note;

The highly respected late Jack Poole, 3rd dan Kodokan Judoka - Shanghai Police ( died 1982 - R.I.P ) is in no way associated with the Jack Poole of Aikido infamy exposed on this website.

It may be no surprise, or coincidence that `Aikido Jack's` false claims in the year 2000 to be a 3rd dan in Judo in the 1950s, may well have come from using the rank of his respected namesake ?, this has been suggested to me several times by senior Judoka.

After all, `Aikido Jack` has used and abused many deceased Budo masters in his bizarre claims and biography.
[ Such as;
Osensei Ueshiba - Tadashi Abe Sensei - Masutaro Otani Sensei - Tommio Otani Sensei - The British Judo Council [BJC] `documented `]

One may well ask why the - BAB – Mr Poole - controversy continues to this day ? The simple answer is the original problems that created the controversy are unchanged. – Mr Poole and the BAB have never apologised for the lies – deceit - along with the crass conduct they have displayed over the years. – To this day Mr Poole is recognised by the governing body of UK Aikido as a pioneer of British Aikido – Despite the undisputed facts Mr Poole was proudly presented with an award by the shameless BAB.

Roger Gilmartin - Eye Witness

Received 27th August 2010.
Attention: Sensei Henry Ellis
My name is Roger Gilmartin,
I was one of your students at Slough
and Bracknell Sports Centre dojos.I was Mr. Goodwin’s assistant, while John
Berloth was yours.I have just become aware of the bewildering tale of Jack
Poole.Your account of the facts tally’s precisely with my memory of that
period. I can only conclude that poor Jack has suffered a mental breakdown of
some nature and lives in a delusion.Congratulations on your success, my years
as a studentof yours count among the best of my life. Roger Gilmartin
3rd Kyu.

Betrayed in Budo

Bad Budo - There was one incident during the Jack Poole / BAB controversy that I personally found upsetting. A senior student of Mr Poole's contacted me, he asked to meet me. I invited him to my home to view the files / photos /videos/ letters / correspondence/emails regarding Mr Poole's charade and fraudulent claims. I handed him everything I had, I also offered him the use of my copier to copy anything he needed to take away. He said "I can now see that you are telling the truth, over the years I have sat and listened in awe to many Budo stories from Mr Poole. Now,I am not sure if I can ever practice Aikido again ". ~ A student betrayed by his teacher.
