Firstly, I would like to thank Bullshido for archiving this important British Aikido document for students of today and of the future . I commend David on his fresh presentation of this documented article. There was simply volumes of factual material on this subject which he has now expertly streamlined, giving the reader the truth and all the relevant facts in an easy to follow document. I started the original investigation after I was one of four of the original UK Aikido pioneers to be presented with an award by the " British Aikido Board " which is the crass governing body for Aikido in the UK. I was surprised and equally shocked to find Mr Jack Poole an ex student beginner of mine standing along side me to receive the same award of a bronze Samurai statue as myself, you could not make this story up !
