M. NAKAZONO
Representative from World Aikido
head quarters (AIKI-KAI) in TOKYO
MR WILLIAMS and All the members of
British AIKIDO CULTURAL COUNCIL
We are getting a very bad situation
now in British Aiki-DO.
There is some kind of business minds
trying to contorol for our Aiki-DO, but I
believe that you all the members of British
Aiki-DO can keep real Budo spirit in your hearts.
In here I will suggest to you that now
our Aiki-DO should be independent completely
from British Budo Council, and for that
purpose I'll ask to all of you to make more
harmony together.
I hope that you can start new organisation
of Aikido in England as soon as possible, and
After ABBE Sensei comes back to London, you
can go back to him all to-gether, and you
need not ask me anything to do for that.
It is not really my wish to do such a
matters, but now I must ask you to do it,
because this is the only way which I can help
my friendship and promise with ABBE Sensei.
All the reason and situation, you
should know it well so I need not write
it in here.
Only thing I want to ask you in here
again that you should not loose your real
Budo sprit and keep the right way.
All of you please follow to Mr. Williams
and not to any other persons, and as you
all know I am in constant contact with
our head quarter Aiki-Kai, so I will be
responsible to them.
This is my final decisions in
answering to you.
Yours sincerely
M. Nakazono
