British Aikido Board ControversyWritten by Henry Ellis
British Aikido Board acronym BAB or Bad at Budo, this is governing body for Aikido in UK, In UK we have a governing body for each of martial arts, governing body should oversee its's particular art and protect it and it's members as well as ancient traditions. There is a universal problem within martial arts of " IwannaBeAmaster" brigade of so called teachers who either grade themselves numerous invalid grades and titles, gradmaster being one of more popular ones along with professor and Shihan to name a few, then we have ones that concern me most at moment is people who when they think no one is looking, they then re-invent themselves in a vain attempt to gain credibility, I had an immediate beginner in my school "The Ellis Schools of Traditional Aikido" a man called Mr Jack Poole, who has re-inveted his background, and now claims to have started Aikido not in 1968 but in 1952, Aikido was first introduced to UK by Kenshiro Abbe sensei in 1955, this would make him first person in UK to practice Aikido and would of course change proud history of those that were involved in it's inception. there is a very controversial article on this issue
