Please Note !! The " British Aikido Board " were not represented by their chairman Mr V Sumpter, who refused our invitation to celebrate the inception of British Aikido or the memory and legacy of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. Mr Sumpter told the BAB executive " If you insist that I attend this event, I would rather resign first !!! " ...That was the public show of disrespect that the BAB ( Bad at Budo ) have for the memory of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. YET!! the BAB honoured Mr Jack Poole's fraudulent claims !! You could not make it up !!
