Part I Henry Ellis and Derek Eastman, who as direct students of Sensei K Williams and Kenshiro Abbe sensei at the famous HUT Dojo in the 1950's/60's. Want nothing more than to protect the Lineage/Integrity/and History of British Aikido. This site is honest, detailed documented and dedicated to this end. The supporters of Mr Poole have resorted to some repugnant conduct, whilst being fully aware that his biography was false. A prime example of this can be seen in the KenShinKai's proud letter of support for Mr Poole at the bottom of this site...Also scroll down to read Jim Johnstone and "Loyalty and Respect".
Mr Jack Poole is clearly seen here as a beginner in 1968. Mr Poole and his supporters have attempted to alter the proud history of British Aikido, and other martial arts..He has publicly claimed to have started Aikido in 1952??, as a student of Tadashi Abbe sensei, this claim if true or accepted, would have made Mr Poole the first British student of Aikido .. This would then change the history of Aikido and its inception by Kenshiro Abbe sensei to Britain in 1955. Henry Ellis and Chiba Shihan clearly, along with other students, remembered Mr Poole as a beginner in the ESTA Slough Berkshire dojo in 1968. In 2000 Mr Ellis advised the British Aikido Board of the true history of Mr Poole. In his defence in 2003, Mr Poole manufactured a new biography, which can be read on this site. In this biography Mr Poole makes some amazing claims. .Which would have made him. No 1: The first Briton to study Aikido. No2: The first British dan grade for ShotoKan Karate. 11 years before it was ever introduced to Britain No3: The first student of Kendo with Tomio Otani, before Tomio started Kendo.. (Tomio was still a schoolboy). No 4: Represented the British Judo Council Internationally, several years before the BJC was formed. No 5: Mr Poole also claims to have been graded to 3rd dan in the early 1950's by Matsutaro Otani Sensei,IF TRUE ? This would have made him one of the highest grades in Europe at this time. Sensei Robin Otani has no knowledge of Mr Jack Poole or records of this bizarre claim.( R Otani has his fathers complete grading records ). Mr Ellis and Mr Derek Eastman researched the manufactured biography. "" NOW READ OUR RESEARCH BELOW "" PLEASE READ OUR RESEARCH on: The ""Sensei JACK POOLE BIOGRAPHY EXPOSED!"" It is now common knowledge as Mr Poole has now conceded, and the admission by the BAB to Sport England concerning Mr Poole at the mediation meeting, that he was a beginner at the ESTA in 1968, Mr Ellis wishes to make it clear that he is not responsible for teaching the trick with the bicycle lamp. "Loyalty and Respect??" An article on Sensei Poole and his most avid supporter Jim Johnstone who is also a very competent video editor, who will do anything to protect and promote the false image of his icon Mr Jack Poole. |
