WHAT LINEAGE DOES BGJJC HAVE?

The Club runs under the 'United Kingdom Ju-Jitsu Association International' (UKJJAI)

which was founded in 1985 by Soke Allan Tattersall, Hanshi.

The Parish Hall is also a Officially Registered DOJO of the 'Dai Nippon Butoku Kai' (DNBK),

the oldest and most prestigious Budo Society in the world.

The style, Myo Shin Ryu is loosely translated to

'School of the Brillance and the Truth'

the style was born out of Nihon Tai Jitsu by the founder Soke Allan Tattersall Hanshi

when he and the UKJJAI Demonstrated the style at a Japanease Taikai in Kyoto

where it was immediately accepted by the DNBK and

wrote into the Japanease Scrolls forever.
