Hi Graham,

I know the teacher at Asoh Ryu Aikido Club in Huddersfield, Billy McAuley, from his years studying aikido in Japan. He was in the same dojo as me and he learnt aikido from a great teacher. He is a fine aikidoka.

I believe Billy's sister is married to Jack Poole. I have never met her or him. I am not interested in arcane historical points. And I don't get involved in aikido politics in the UK (or in Japan either!).

If you want a cool day's aikido training please come to the course. If you want to talk about the history of aikido in the UK please can I ask you to do it in a different thread?!

Thanks.

Niall
Hello,

I asked because I was trying to determine the affiliation of this dojo - is it aikikai, etc.? - so that I would know what to expect; there is no need to take umbrage.

I respect the fact that you aren't interested in the history of aikido, but obviously some people are - particularly when they are deciding which dojos/courses etc. to go to.

I meant no offence. Good luck with the course.
