I haven't read your material on Mrs. Garrud, but I've read some of Emelyne's. Emelyne has a chapter called "Jujutsuffragettes" in the encyclopedia, actually.

Eugene,
Glad you like "Working with Warriors" I really wanted to give Terry O'Neill and Gary Spiers the recognition they deserve as awesome fighting men.
Cheers,

Yeah, they were tough guys, weren't they?
Your website has been very helpful: the Fairbairn stick method is a clear precursor to the straight baton kata I was taught back at Ishin Ryu, which I suspect is the same as the WJJF syllabus kata, I may need to ask someone about that.

We have some interesting material on Early Liverpool Ju Jutsu
History of Jiu-Jitsu podcast episodes, Japan was opened up to the West in 1852, but it would take a while yet for Japanese martial arts to reach British soil. Jiu-Jitsu practice was about performance in the early 20th century. Jiu-Jitsu's history is more complex. Even martial arts movies seem to have swung back to jiu-jutsu.
