``The Founding of JuJutsu Judo Aikido in the UK``.
This blog is dedicated to the memory and life of Kazuo Chiba Sensei - 1940--2015. I first studied with Chiba Sensei in 1966. I was assistant to Chiba from 1967 to 1972. I would describe Sensei as " The Last Samurai ". The new book by Liese Klein tells of the life of this warrior " The Life-Giving Sword " This is an amazing book tells the story of Chiba's life, warts and all. This blog is not associated with the discredited British Aikido Board. BAB.

Henry Ellis - Derek Eastman are now sadly amongst the last of a very small group of
Anecdotes, stories, historic events are vividly brought to life from the incredible 1950s/60s.
With the encouragement of Martial Arts researcher - author - Abdul Rashid - Ellis and Eastman were inspired to put their personal `documented true factual history recorded in to book form to memorialize all those involved in the early days, never to be lost or forgotten.
The books credit many other Judoka and Aikidoka that were involved from the Abbe Era, honourable people who played a role in the early days when Aikido was a Martial Art, there were so many others that are remembered who later helped to promote and protect the legacy of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei.
