How exactly have you proved him a liar and in what respect??
Mr Williams was a founder member of WHAT??
All Aikido in the UK came from the Hut Dojo.
The ONLY Yudansha that were asked to meet the Doshu were:
Ellis Sensei
Foster Sensei
Easrwood Sensei
and their grades are registered in the Aikikai Hombu in Japan and signed by the Doshu himself.
Is your MrWilliams grade registered there?
It's you are the one who is in denial about reality and you mistake "grovelling" for respect and the truth.

If you have the audacity to question Elli Sensei's knowledge of Aikido then you display your ignorance.Furthermore you insult a man who was a pupil of Abbe Sensei,Chiba Sensei,Nakazono Sensei and Norro Sensei.A man honoured by the Doshu(on his visit to Cardiff) and presented with a certificate by him.A man whose Aikido Grades are registered and acknowledged by the Aikikai HQ in Japan.How dare you take such a foolish stance??Did Your Mr Williams meet the Doshu in Cardiff during his visit?

I am privileged to be in contact with many surviving direct - genuine - students of Abbe Sensei ( thankfully no friends of Abbe Sensei :-)
I am also grateful for the material and photos that I receive such as from your good-self....
Take care

The reason I have not mentioned Mr ``Ian ` Jim ` Williams `` of Bargoed South Wales ?? Is simply - I have never heard of him ??

@Aikitrad Well I suggest you research your own research then!!! Unless of course there is a reason that you have not included him.He started with Haydn Foster.

Firstly – I am not working from research - my knowledge & experiences are personal experiences. I was one of the first of 5 Aikido dan grades in the UK.
I repeat !! the reason I do not mention Mr Ian Williams "" he was not part of the origins """ ..no ulterior motive - I have no knowledge of him..........
May I remind you of the title of this video """" British Aikido Origins from 1955 """"
