You said you were an assistant nikelab hyperadapt to Sensei Ellis and the only junior at that time and that you were also the general dojo assistant so you would have been in close contact with many if not all of the old teachers, what were your impressions of the ones you came into contact with ?. I will mention them from the highest grade down. Kenshiro Abbe Sensei. I would see Abbe Sensei occasionally on the aikido mat, he would step onto the mat to make a point or teach. He didn't often bother to change into his gi, he would come on the mat in this old brown de-mob suit; (after the war soldiers were given a brown suit when leaving the army, and it was called a de-mob suit, I am sure that this was one).
Sensei Williams would sometimes ask me to take Abbe Sensei home to Acton in my three wheeled "Isetta" bubble car, Sensei Williams told me if I had an accident with Sensei in the car I would have to leave the country and never be seen again, I believed him. Abbe Sensei sat in the Bubble car for the first time. He looked around the little car, then at me, he gave me a very puzzled look and asked nikeid training shoes " How many wheels" I replied " 3 Sensei ". He replied " Necessary, where are wheels?"I said "2 in the front and one at the back Sensei". He thought for a moment and then he said " Ahhhh! Strong triangle". He did not speak another word during the journey, which was normal for Abbe Sensei.
Final Part Four:Relocating and Leaving the HUT. Sensei, You told me earlier that this was around nike monarchs the time you got married and moved away from the HUT and the locality. Could you expand on this time. A: SE. Yes, After I married I moved to Basingstoke in Hampshire. My work involved a lot of traveling as I was working on the drilling rigs, drilling for Gas in the English Channel just off the River Humber. I would also take the opportunity to visit local Aikido clubs and train whenever possible. I later found work nearer home in 1969, I renewed my contact and friendship with Trevor Jones who had also married and now lived in Camberley Surrey only 10 miles from my home. He told me he had recently opened a new dojo at the Hawley Hotel.
He was now working as an Airline steward and asked me to look after his dojo and teach when he was on nike air zoomx pegasus 35 long haul flights, I agreed. I found that Trevor's Aikido had definitely moved up a gear, although the training and technique was still fairly traditional, he had by far the most powerful aiki movement of any person I had ever met including the Japanese. The dojo later moved from the Hawley Hotel to Brookwood, with two good students Mike Cashmore and Colin Relph as assistants, I also remember Wasil Kolenkisov training there as a beginner, he later joined Sensei Ken Williams as an assistant. At The beginning of 1969 I opened " The Basingstoke Aikido Club" I would still occasionally help Trevor who had now moved to a purpose built dojo at the "Frimley Budokan".
Part Three: With all the years of hard training and instruction going up through the kyu grades what was the final path to your first dan ? A-SE: I was always fortunate that not only did I receive personal instruction and guidance directly from Sensei Williams and my own Sensei, and all the dan grades previously mentioned. I also think that being assistant instructor to the beginners class from 7th to 4th kyu, I was able to form a good practicing relationship with a small select group of students who all later became the second generation of " HUT" dan grades. The group was made up of people like Ron James at 6ft 5ins tall and about 250 lbs seemed like a giant to me as a boy. He never took that into account and never gave me any leeway at all so it was very hard but good to train with this giant of a man.
I guess that's how I eventually got to that point of my preparation for dan grade. I received my first dan grade just before I became 21 yrs of age. At the same time I had just completed my apprenticeship as an engineer. It was then that Sensei Williams asked Sensei Ellis and I to travel and nike outlet in kitchener spread the 'gospel' of Aikido. We were the early 'disciples' as he put it. Although aikido had started to spread a little, there were areas that had no knowledge of this new martial art. My beloved "Isetta" bubble car, which I had pushed to it's limits, had finally BURST !It had to be dumped. Luckily at the same time, Sensei Ellis had just bought a one year old Mini car which was in those days the "business". So looking at the car and the prospects of aikido and travel and [img]http://www.gasamling.ca/images/shoes/nike outlet in kitchener-417biv.jpg[/img] some amorous adventures I readily agreed to go along. |
