-
- Hard to generalize today about either lineage or principles. Martial arts
- in the U.S., for example is like a supermarket of styles. Some modern styles
- are related simply by having copied from each other, or from an older ryu, and
- others are variations derived from the same root ryu. Judo and Aikido come
- from different traditional styles, Aikido having been Morihei Ueshiba's
- synthesis of his learning and largely Daito-Ryu, and Judo having been Jigoro
- Kano's synthesis from a wide variety of popular 19th century jujutsu schools.
-
- Most Aikijutsu/Aiki-jujutsu is more or less derived from the Daito-Ryu,
- or other practices of the tradition popularly attributed to the Takeda
- lineage.

- I have no such claim to knowledge, this is just information I've picked
- up from casual research. No doubt parts are open to different interpretation.
