Quite a bit off topic but I can't find anything in relation to the history of the org online other than that it was a modern style started by Terry Parker... do you know where the syllabus comes from or anything about the arts history? I was just curious and saw there was mention of it in the orgs faq but the answer was left blank.:topic:

this thread has most of the research I've done on our roots, unfortunately there isn't a lot of info out there on it. I also drew this out at the time if its of any use: Code: My Vague Jujitsu "Lineage" Obscured History Possibly Juko Ryu? 'Master Kim' | | | 'Soke' James Blundell | \ Hontai Yoshin Ryu - Under Sensei Inoue | \ / | \ / | \ / | Professor Robert Clarke | / | / | / | _________/ |/ BJJA | \ | \ | \ | \ | Professor Terry Parker___ | / \ \___ | / \ \___ | / \ \___ | / \ \__ | / \ | Jikishin Jujitsu-----Hanshi Brian Herbert | | Head of Jikishin - 8th Dan | | / | | / | | / | Sensei Colin Humbles_/______________________________| 5th Dan | | | Ian Dingle 1st Kyu I'll point out that While Terry Parker Sensei did set up Jikishin, He then became head of the BJJA, and Jikishin has become a seperate Association that has left the BJJA, its syllabus is going over some of the changes that occured after Terry Parker Sensei's neck injury and his forced changes to how HE did techniques, and people saw him do them differently and changed the way they did them to suit, when their changes weren't needed and haven't helped the techniques. As well as changing the way some of the techniques are taught etc. If you really want to discuss the lineages further I suggest you do so in the linked thread rather than derail another thread further =p
