 NEW " The British Aikido Board Controversy " The Book.

The preparation and publishing of the above titled book will soon be completed. The book will fully expose the behind the scenes intrigue, conduct and deceit of the many individuals involved, including the BAB secretary Ms Timms - then chairmen Toni Davis - chairman Vince Sumpter - Jack Poole and so many other totally shameless individuals . The BAB must never again be allowed to treat its members with such disregard and disrespect. Every detail of this book is documented facts and  beyond legal dispute.
It should be noted that not one of the original pioneers of Kenshiro Abbe's era are members of this discredited organisation.
