The original discussion topic was Tadashi Abe. However, I would humbly suggest that if we have a man among us who is willing to post first-hand accounts of the British Aikido scene of 60 years ago, we'd be doing our community a great deal of harm by discouraging him in any way from continuing to do so.

Just for the record, isn't it Tadahi ABE and Kenshiro ABBE?
Hi, Cliff ,
I agree.Having trained with Abbe Sensei in the early days[Judo ] I can vouch for his martial abilities.Your spelling of the names are correct.I see no reason why anyone will mind if the subject matter strays away a little as long as we get an insight into how Aikido was in the early days.
