Written by Sensei David Eayrs
It is very unfortunate that in modern times many students seem completely unaware of the local history of the martial art they are practising. There are many students practising Yoshinkan Aikido in the UK today, who are totally unaware as to the origins of Yoshinkan Aikido in the UK. It would be a shame and a dishonour to so easily forget the people who have made it possible for us to be practising Yoshinkan Aikido in the UK today, and yet many students and some senior instructors do not even know the names of the people who were fundamental in establishing Yoshinkan Aikido in the UK.
Unfortunately in a very few cases this lack of knowledge is the result of instructors who wish to deny their own lineage in Yoshinkan Aikido (e.g. a denial of the Instructor who introduced them to Yoshinkan Aikido for a more favourable, popular or higher ranked Instructor), or to exaggerate their lineage in Yoshinkan Aikido (e.g. claiming to have begun Yoshinkan Aikido or trained Yoshinkan Aikido with an Instructor whom they have been taught by, for less hours than implied).
In other cases the lack of knowledge or incorrect knowledge is the result of instructors who themselves have no real knowledge regarding the history of Yoshinkan Aikido in the UK and have simply passed on incorrect statements about the history, implying that the statements are correct.
