his first classes at the Hut Dojo. Harada had no students to begin with - Henry
Ellis and Derek Eastman studied Karate with Harada, he in turn studied Aikido
with them - Harada began to incorporate Aikido moves later into his Shotokai Karate as
can be seen in his teachings today.Click here for the British Aikido History Blog > British Aikido History Site
