Henry Ellis & Derek Eastman are amongst the last of a very small  group of direct pioneer students of the legendary Budo Master Kenshiro Abbe Sensei, stories and historic events  from the incredible 1950s. With the help of Martial Arts correspondent Abdul Rashid  they were encouraged to put the `true factual history recorded in books so the memories of those early days will never be lost.

The following titles are available from Amazon Martial Arts Books

" The Founding of Ju-Jutsu - Judo -Aikido in the UK " ------ 


" British Aikido History "

" Kenshiro Abbe the Forgotten Budoka" ----  " Positive Aikido ".
