Masahilo Nakazono Memorial Aikido Event
27th ? October -2007
The Event
In Memory of designer sunglasses for men the Life and Work of Masahilo Nakazono Sensei
Organised by The Committee for UK Martial Arts History
( A combined group of students and teachers involved in the preservation of true legacies of the great original teachers)
On May the 14th 2005 the committee organised what is considered to be the most successful Martial Arts Event in Britain to date the “ Kenshiro Abbe Jubilee Celebrations “ . It was the intention of the committee to establish the true history and legacies left in our care, not just for the students of today, but for the generations that follow in the future. This Budo event was so successful in establishing the history, legacy and lineage of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei, and the genuine direct students from his arrival to the UK in 1955. As a result of that great event, there are now many more martial arts students who were not aware of the importance of the influence of Abbe Sensei on British Budo, they now have a greater understanding of our proud history which we trust will be passed on to their students.
Another important figure from that era was Mutsuro Nakazono ( now Masahilo ) . Committee members once dior sunglasses women again put their organising skills together to celebrate the memory of this great Budo master who was perhaps one of the most popular of all Japanese teachers.
Saturday the 27th of October 2007 was a great day for the history carrera sunglasses on sale of British Aikido, as approx 250 students gathered to remember one of the greatest names in the origins and development of Aikido in the United Kingdom. The Event was sponsored by Gwynne Jones Sensei of the Shin-gi-tai Aikido Society Wales UK., one of the UK’s largest Aikido organisations. The whole Event went as perfectly as a Harrison clock .
The First UK Aikido Dan Grades
Kenshiro Abbe Sensei taught the very early style of Aikido as taught to him by O’Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. In 1963 he invited Nakazono Sensei to visit the UK from his base in Paris France. Nakazono Sensei brought with him the then more modern approach to Aikido, which had changed from the pre-war days as taught by Abbe Sensei. Nakazono Sensei left an indelible mark on all those students that had ever studied with him. Of all the Japanese teachers that have ever visited the UK there is no one that the original dan grades respected more than Masahilo Nakazono Sensie.
There are now only four students left from that incredible period in the 1950’s & 60’s who had been graded to Yudansha in Aikido by Kenshiro Abbe Sensei and Nakazono Sensei. They are Sensei’s K Williams ? H Foster ? H Ellis ? D Eastman. Williams Sensei could not attend the event, the organisers were pleased to receive a letter of support from Williams Sensei. Sensei’s Foster ? Ellis and Eastman were there.
The Principal Teacher ` Jiro Nakazono Sensei`
The acceptance of Jiro Nakazono Sensei the second son of Masahilo Nakazono sensei to attend this Event, to honour his fathers name, was now going to make this event all the more memorable. Nakazono Sensei travelled from his home in Manhatten, USA to attend this one day event at the Neath Sports Centre, Neath, Wales. There was an incredible atmosphere in the large hall of the Neath Sports Centre as the Kodo drums played in the background. The drums were silenced as Henry Ellis went on the mat to speak of the early days of Aikido and the influence that Masahilo Nakazono had on the developmeant of British Aikido. Ellis Sensei then introduced the teaching line up of Jiro Nakazono Sensie ? Dang Thang Phong Sensie ? Gwynne Jones Sensei - Haydn Foster Sensei ? Derek Eastman and not forgetting himself. There were several prominent VIP guests who were then introduced. There were letters of congratulations from N Tamura Shihan and K Williams Sensei for both Foster Sensei and Ellis Sensei as they celebrated their 50th year of Aikido.
