Wednesday 26th of August. TK Chiba Sensei met the three remaining pioneers from the 1950s of British Aikido at the now Famous Hut Dojo in Hillingdon, London. After lunch in the Hut Pub adjacent to the Dojo, Chiba Sensei presented Sensei's Haydn Foster ~ Henry Ellis ~ Derek Eastman with their AikiKai recognised 6th dan through the ` International BiranKai `.
It was a great atmosphere to stand in the old Hut Dojo where 50 years ago they had all received their Shodan certificates signed by OSensei Morihei Ueshiba, and on this day to receive their 6th dan certificat from TK Chiba Chihan who was a uchi deshi to OSensei in the 1950s & 1960s.
