AJJIF what happened in Australia. For some time Australian members of the All Japan Ju Jitsu International Federation (AJJIF) based in Los Angeles America have had a number of concerns in relation to the policies and procedures of the AJJIF and the various ranks and titles claimed by Mr Alexey Kunin the president and head (founder) of the supposedly not for profit organisation. Due to these concerns it was decided to arrange a meeting with Mr Kunin at the Australian AJJIF seminar on the 27th of July 2013. Mr Kunin was contacted prior to him leaving for Australia and he was made aware of the concerns and asked if he would meet with us after the seminar. He agreed to the meeting and also to the request for him to produce at the meeting his certificates and proof of his titles and all lower grades to show us his martial arts history On the 27th of July the meeting was held with Mr Kunin, the then Vice President and Australian Representative Hanshi Bruce Haynes, the previous Vice President and Australian Representative Sensei Dave Franklin and other Senior Australian instructors all of who were life members of the AJJIF at the time of the meeting. The meeting was conducted with an Agenda and Minutes were taken to ensure that the meeting was conducted in a fair and amicable way. Mr Kunin was at all times treated respectfully and given the chance to speak freely. The now former AJJIF Australia members discussed at length the various concerns and issues related to his personal grade levels, titles and where all the money collect on behalf of the not for profit organisation goes etc. The responses to the questions asked of Mr Kunin were far from satisfactory and in a lot of cases just did not add up. The information he gave us, the certification presented (which was extremely limited and did not show any of his lower grades which would have indicated his history in martial arts) and photographs etc were far from satisfactory to support his claims. As a direct result of the meeting held with Mr Kunin on the 27th of July 2013 all Australian Martial Arts schools affiliated to the AJJIF decided to resign. Subsequently Mr Kunin was informed by email by both the schools and each individual member of those schools that they had formally resigned from the AJJIF, had destroyed and renounced all AJJIF certification, Titles and Life Memberships. Mr Kunin was also asked by the Schools and individual members to remove their names, photographs, video footage etc from all AJJIF web sites, other mediums and literature. To date Mr Kunin is avoiding the removal of all of the Australian members names and has indeed added fictitious names to the Australian members list and further video footage to his web site. Mr Kunin will not answer our emails in relation to this issue. We believe that Mr Kunin will not remove the Australian names because it will show a drop in his membership list and cause other members across the world to question and leave his shonky organisation. Further investigations carried out with Martial Arts Instructors world wide have disclosed more and more evidence of Mr Kunins fraudulent activities. A large number of the people we contacted from his official members list were not aware they were named on his site and in some cases had never heard of Alexey Kunin. Of course he still has some staunch supporters who carry weight in high places but we guess they are so entrenched in this situation that they can not see away out without making themselves a laughing stock in the martial arts world. In our experience Martial Artists are normally of good character and very good practitioners of their chosen art. Unfortunately Mr Alexey Kunin is tainting the name of Martial arts on a worldwide scale. If you visit his web site (ajjif.org) you will see what appears to be a most grandiose organisation but when you dig deeper you find that it is a total deception. People worldwide have fallen for his deceptive double talk and promises of rank recognition, all of which of course for a substantial fee. He claims 80 countries and numerous Grand Master within his ranks, and yes some appear on his web site but unfortunately a lot of these people have not even met Mr Alexey Kunin little lone joined his organisation. He has even included Government officials on his site without their permission and whats more he has given them titles and positions within his organisation without their knowledge. Of late Mr Kunin is running scared and sanitising his web pages in an effort to cover up what is happening here in Australia and to some extent worldwide. This man needs to be exposed for who he is and for the damage he has caused not just here in Australia but throughout the world.
