The Betrayal of British Aikido History

Click photo for expose on ` Martial Arts Encyclopedia ` - [accessed over 125,000 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

" - I replied ( I assume rather smugly ) Don't thank me, thank Aikido " - That poor child is probably destined to wear diapers for life.
