a calm mind. When crisis strikes, an individual is forcedto work or operate under pressure. By having innerstrength and a calm mind, the individual will pullthrough and handle any obstacle.”

Sensei Raney encourages and stresses the im-portance of Judo in training. Judo trains your body tofeel the opponent’s movement and how to make yourJu Jitsu techniques work. Sempai Noah Harders and Ibegan training at Hawaii Tenri Judo at Sensei Raney’srecommendation. Hawaii Tenri Judo is located onNu’uanu Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii. Surrounded byspry and energetic adolescent judokas, Sempai Hardersand I found training fun and challenging. After count-less randori matches, it’s amazing to feel the importanceof movement and positioning to throw an opponent.Hawaii Tenri Judo is renowned for their excellent rep-utation for nationally recognized judoka. Later this year,four students from Hawaii Tenri Judo will compete inthe 2008 USA Judo Olympic trials.

Bruce Raney is generous to lend his property to martialart training for all who are interested. Sensei Raney isour head instructor, who brings considerable practicalknowledge of Judo, boxing, a variety of Ju Jitsu styles,as well as various Chinese, Filipino and Hawaiian arts.With almost 40 years of martial art training and con-siderable coaching and instructing experience, SenseiRaney brings a formidable width and breadth of knowl-edge to the mat.

Sensei Raney believes that “everyone has aplan, until they get hit”. It’s important we understandthat our martial art training is not just kata but also amethod to defend yourself in all situations. A largenumber of people come to train because of fear. Train-ing doesn’t, by itself, make “fear” stop. It helps one toface the “boogie man”. Martial arts is not about win-ning or even fighting. It is a search for the self. It is aneffort to manage fear. It is learning to win and lose.

Our dojo name, Halau O Ka Makani Malie,comes from Sensei Raney’s belief that “the greatest giftone can get from training and knowledge of the arts is

Fusuikan’s 25th AnniversaryBy Sensei Hans Ingebretsen

Fusuikan Martial Arts Center is celebrating 25years of excellence, with events throughout the yearto comemorate this landmark. Shihan RichardPietrelli started the dojo in downtown Eureka in 1983,and later moved the facilities for many years to theEureka Mall, and has recently moved into the old ZoeBarnum High School building at 2725 Myrtle Av-enue. Fusuikan also has a second school in Fortuna,with a total of 185 students studying Danzan Ryu JuJitsu, Kashima Shin Ryu Kenjitusu and Inayan Es-krima. On April 26, 16 black belts who had trained atFusuikan over the years gathered for a group photo,and afterwards Sensei Hans Ingebretsen taught aclinic. Celebrations this year also include the SpringKata Tournament, Camp Kilohana, and the NovemberKata Tournament. On the weekend of the Novembertournament, the official 25 year celebration will beheld, with an evening Japanese banquet and a slideshow of the dojo throughout the years. Congratula-tions Shihan Pietrelli, on your years of hard work anddedication! ■

Besides Judo, our students also learnMuay Thai, Chinese boxing, and American box-ing. With the help of Sensei Sonny Kaulukukuiand Sensei Robert Reish, the beginning of classmay start with a combination of boxing drills,Phon Sao (trapping), and/or Muay Thai kickingsets, leading into Sensei Raney’s instruction inJudo or Danzan Ryu Ju Jitsu techniques. By learn-ing boxing and trapping drills, we believe that thiswill help prepare our students to handle any situ-ation. Our dojo focus is to train well-roundedmartial artists who can block a punch, attack, trap,and throw the opponent without hesitation.

In recent events, we were fortunate to haveProfessor Bob Hudson, Sensei Hilary Kaplowitz, andSensei Tom Ryan visit our dojo, courtesy of the AJJForganization. Professor Hudson and Sensei Kaplowitzheld a weeklong Danzan Ryu Ju Jitsu clinic that cov-ered many techniques. In addition, our black belts wereprivileged to have Sensei Robert Reish teach ShinyoNo Maki and host a class with Sensei Tom Ball to re-view Kiai No Maki through video teleconference, cov-ering Tanto, Tanju, and Tessen. Professor DannySaragosa and his student, Sempai Nolan Yonekura, alsoinstructed a Shinyo No Maki class for our dojo blackbelts.

Our hopes in the near future are to host a Hawai-ian Kilohana camp, which will include instructors froma variety of martial arts. Details are to be determined.

For all who would love training amongst thebeauty of Hawaii, we welcome everyone to visit ourdojo in Oahu. Feel free to contact Sensei Bruce Raneyat 808-239-1591 if you have any questions. Mahalo!■

Dojo from Master Kichimatsu ‘Yoshimatsu’ Tanaka.Then known as Seishiro Okazaki, he was promoted toblack belt after a 13 year study. The Dojo was in Hilobehind the old Yoshimura store on Ferneaux Lane.{note: I unsuccessfully attempted to find this locationwhen I was in Hilo, Hilo was also re-arranged by atidal wave since those old days.} By 1923 SeishiroOkazaki did most of the instruction there, and it wasmostly Kodokan Judo according to early students whostudied there.

Iwaga-ryu (Sensei unknown)

Kosogabe-ryu (Sensei unknown)

Ryuku Okinawan Karate (From an un-known Japanese from an Okinawan Pre-fecture)

Lua (Hawaiian ‘Bone Breaking’, fromKumu David Kainhee of Puna)

Mushi Jutsu (Praying Mantis Kung Fu,from Sifu Wo Chung of Kohala)

Escrima (Philippine Knife, instructor unknown)

Knife Throwing (From a Spanish teacher, unknown)

Kappo (Healing/Lifesaving was contained in manyJujitsu styles, especially Yoshin-ryu)

In 1924 Professor Okazaki spent three monthsin Japan, on Honshu he was said to have studied atfifty Jujitsu dojos and learned 650 techniques. Someof the styles studied were:

Tenshi Shinyo-ryu (Sensei unknown)

Koshima Kiai Jitsu (Sensei unknown)

Shibukawa-ryu (Sensei unknown)

Takenouchi-ryu (Sensei unknown)

The Foundations of Danzan RyuBy Dale Kahoun

Foundations of Danzan-Ryu, a smorgasbordof Koryu (old school) Jujitsu Techniques as well as ablend of other martial, fighting and healing arts.

This following paper is a study that I did someyears ago in an attempt to trace down some of themany martial arts that Professor Okazaki gleaned andincorporated into Danzan-ryu. It seems to me thatmany of the things Professor Okazakidid are at least partial mysteries, withlegendary aspects, veiled in shrouds ofmyth. I suppose this is as it should be.Later I will emphasize some culturaland human aspects that either limit in-formation, or give too much.

This study is a compilation ofprevious informations, some may be in-correct and there is a lot of room for ad-ditional information, so feel free to contribute! Thestudy is ongoing and we should preface our ‘facts’with “What I think I know is...”

Koryu refers to ‘Ancient Style’ or ‘OldSchool’. These are schools that were in existenceprior to the Meiji Restoration, before the end of theEdo period when the samurai were officially dis-banded (1867). This means that Kodenkan Jujitsu,Kodokan Judo, Aikido, and Shotokan Karate are notKoryu. That does not mean that they aren’t excellentmodern martial arts. Where do you think they camefrom though?

On the ‘Big Island of Hawaii’.

Yoshin-ryu In 1906 at 16 years old he whowas to be known as Professor Henry S. Okazakibegan his study of Yoshin-ryu Jujitsu at Shinyukai

The History of Danzan RyuAs Sensei Dale Kahoun puts it, the history of Kodenkan Ju Jitsu is like “a puzzle with some of the pieces missing”. In the in-

terest of perhaps filling in some of these pieces, a new article from a different source on this subject will be featured in each isue of this newsletter. Submissions are stongly encouraged from anybody who feels that they can contribute to this goal.

Unless otherwise noted, all images are used with permission from the personalcollection of Professor James Muro, and were not included with the original article.

Nabashoshin-ryu (Sensei unknown)

Sefukujitsu Massage (techniques were Japanese-blended with other style including Swedish andHawaiian Lomi-Lomi)

Kodokan Judo (Sensei Shihan Jigoro Kano, ProfessorOkazaki received a teaching credential or Sandan,Third Degree Black Belt)

After returning to Hawaii, Professor Okazakiopened his Dojo, the Kodenkan, in Honolulu and con-tinued his studies:

To-te (Okinawan Karate: Thomas Miyashiro taught atProfessor Okazaki’s school until1936. Sensei Miyashiro was the lasthead of the original Hawaii KarateSenenkai. Sensei Miyashiro was astudent of Kentsu Yabu in Okinawa(1927). Sensei Kentsu Yabu 1886-1937, was responsible for introduc-ing Karate into the Okinawa schoolsystem and he was a disciple ofMaster Itosu Anko.)

This does not equal fifty Ju-jitsu schools. At that time in Japanthough, Professor Okazaki wouldhave found a rich resource of Ju-jitsu Masters gathered around Pro-fessor Jigoro Kano; it was also theyear that the Okinawan Masterscame to the gatherings that Profes-sor Kano had organized.

Kodokan Judo: here an examination of Judo is re-quired. In these early days Judo was still beingformed and had brought other Jujitsu styles under it’swings. Since Professor Okazaki included Judo inDanzan-ryu those other Jujitsu styles contained in thestill-forming art of Judo were then also made to influ-ence Danzan-ryu. A Judo board convenes to decidewhat is a throw, or what variation a throw would fitunder. A group of eight throws were omitted fromJudo in 1920 to be re-established to Judo within re-cent times, and a couple are familiar to ranked Dan-zan-ryu practitioners as they are (or variations are)contained on our boards.

Shihan Jigoro Kano’s Jujitsu study (and sensei ifknown):

Yagyu-ryu (Only possibly Yagyu, Jigoro Kano’s firstSensei Heinosuki Yagi may have been Yagyu)

Unknown-ryu (Sensei Ryuji Karakiri)

Seigo-ryu (Sensei unknown)

Tenshin Shinyo-ryu (Sensei Hachinosuke Fukuda andMasatomo Iso)

Yoshin-ryu (Followers of Shihan Kano, Yoshiakai Ya-mashita and Koga, these Yoshin-ryu Masters were a

great influence on Judo)

Shin-no-Shindo-ryu (Sensei un-known)

Kito-ryu (Sensei Tsunetoshi Iikbuand Hidekazu Nagaoka were Senseito Kano and as Kito-ryu Mastersthey were also a great influence onJudo’s development)

Sousuishi-ryu (Sensei Aoyagi ofthis Ryuha helped develop Judo’skatas)

Daito-ryu (A Takeda family stylewith whom Kano had connections.Daito-ryu Aikijitsu is still taught atthe Kodokan. Sokaku Takeda inher-ited Daito-ryu. Mochizuki, a stu-dent of Kyuzo Mifune [the last man

to receive a Tenth Degree Black Belt from ShihanKano] infiltrated Daito-ryu, eventually gaining aTenth Dan in that martial art)

Fusen-ryu (Mataemon Tanabe Fusen and his studentsdefeated the Kodokan with their Newaza [ground-fighting techniques], so the style was won over andbecame part of the Kodokan curriculum)

Jikishin-ryu (Sensei unknown):

Sekiguchi-ryu (Jushin Sekiguchi and Mogichi Tsum-iza were teachers of Kano’s. This style, particularlyknown for weapons, contributed kata to the Kodokan)

Professor Okazaki dressed for clinical work.

88

Kyushin-ryu (Sensei Eguichi assisted with kata forthe Kodokan)

Shiten-ryu (Sensei Hoshino assisted with kata for theKodokan)

Miura-ryu (Sensei Inazu assisted with kata develop-ment for the Kodokan)

Kukishin-ryu (Sensei Takamatsu’s tokui-waza [fa-vorite technique] was hizaguruma [knee-wheelthrow], this is contained within Danzan-ryu’s Sasae-ashi, when the foot stop is allowed to be as high asthe knee. Hizaguruma was accepted and adopted bythe Kodokan. ProfessorKano of course also prac-ticed with some traditionalweapons, especially thestaff style of Kukishin-ryu)

About these older styles ofJujitsu: I said earlier theolder styles of Jujitsu arecalled Ko-ryu; styles thatexisted at the time of theSamurai. The culture thatwe study these arts fromevade history to a degreeby being secretive. Thesearts were at one time im-portant military secrets.There is also an elementof myth and legend as richas European culture iswith King Arthur andRobin Hood.

Techniques invented by mere mortals may notendure, but let’s say it was inspired by a god comingto you in a dream and teaching you. How about if youwent up to the mountains and a demon or a hermittaught you. Those cloaked-in-mystery techniques arebound to endure (pun intended, the binding techniqueof Haya Nawa, Shinyo #19, was born of just such amountain mystery).

Then as now there are also politics, jealousies,and intrigues that change history and confound fact

seekers. This being said, I don’t know the result. Arewe discouraged or more intrigued?

Yoshin-ryu (Yo [Willow] Shin [Heart-Spirit]):

Developed in the 1600’s by a Japanese Doctorfrom Nagasaki, Shirobei Yoshitoki Akiyama. He spe-cialized in Kappo/Sappo (“Heal or Kill” or “Heal andKill”). It is said he studied in China, and Nagasakiwas a port. He was to have studied Taoist healing andmartial arts, including Kyusho (vital point strikingarts). Yoshin-ryu contained approximately 300 arts, acomposite system including naginata and hanbo. Cur-rently, the 13th Headmaster is Koyama Takako, Hi-roshima Prefecture.

Takenouchi-ryu (Named for founder)

Developed by Takenouchi Hisamori in the 1500’s, itis one of the oldest if not the oldest documentedJapanese Jujitsu, shrouded in legend. A compositesystem including sword, knife, and tessen (fan).

Currently the 14th Headmaster is Takenouchi ToichiroHisamune, Okayama Prefecture.

Yagyu-ryu (Named for founder):

99

Professor Okazaki, center row, third from the left, with the other members of the Yoshin Ryu dojo he attended.

Since this was only referred to as Yagyu Ryu,it is possible that it is either;

Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, a composite system thatemphasized/emphasizes sword and Jujitsu. This in-cludes mu-to, swordlessness, or bare-handed defenseagainst a sword (see Danzan-ryu Kiai-no Maki tech-niques #15 Nukimi Dome, #16 Shiraha Dori and #17Suso Harai, not proof that these came directly fromhere but something similar got to us some way). Thefounder was Yagyu Munetoshi in 1568, and this be-came the sword style taught to the Tokugawa.

Currently, the 21st Headmaster (Soke) is YagyuNobuhara, Aichi Prefecture.

or

Yagyu Shingan-ryu, another composite Jujitsu thatutilized swords and a variety of other weapons. Thissystem interestingly stratified Jujitsu into class dis-tinctions (Commoners, Foot Soldiers, Warriors andGenerals.) It was founded in the early 1600’s by Tak-enago Hayato (and a conflicting name of ArakiMataemon from other sources) who had been a stu-dent of Shingan-ryu. Yagyu Munenori approved ofthe system Takenago was instructing and allowed theuse of the prestigious Yagyu name to be attached to it.

Currently the 12th Headmaster is Hoshi Kunio (fromTakenago Hayato), Sendai Provence.

Kosogabe-ryu (No information)

Shinbukawa-ryu (Named for founder)

Founder, Shinbukawa Bongoro Yoshinori, this style isa branch of Sekiguchi-ryu.

Fusen-ryu (Named for founder):

Founded by Takeda Motsuge in the mid1800’s. He became a priest and was re-named Fusen.The complete martial style he created was calledMotsuge-ryu. Fusen-ryu stems from Takenouchi-ryu.Motsuge also studied : Namba Ippo, Sekiguchi,Yoshin, Shibukawa, and Yagyu styles. He also studiedweaponry and horsemanship.

Jikishin-ryu:

Founded by Samurai Terada KanemonMasashige (1616-1674). He was also Grandmaster ofKitomidare-ryu, and studied Tenshin-ryu and Ryuish-into-ryu. The name Jikishin-ryu was changed in 1724to Jikishin-ryu Judo, and was the fore-runner of mod-ern day Judo, originally having 97 techniques.

Kito-ryu:

Taoist and Chinese martial influence wasbrought to Japan in the 1600’s by Chinese Scholar

Kukishin-ryu (School of the nine demons god):

Founded by Okuni Kihei. A composite style ofbojitsu, naginata, yari and jujitsu. Okuni and TagakiGennoshin combined Tagaki-ryu Jujitsu with Kuk-ishin-ryu. When Tagaki died, Okuni also becameGrandmaster of Tagaki-ryu. Both of these ryu couldbe related to Tenshin Hyho-ryu as there is evidencethat Okuni and Tagaki both studied this similar style.

Tenshin Shinyo-ryu:

mamoto developed striking, gripping and paralyzingtechniques. Strikes are similar to Okinawa to-te.

Sosuishi-ryu (Pure Flowing Water Style)

Founded in 1650 by Samurai Fugatami Hannosuke.

Daito-ryu

Prior to the Takeda leadership of Daito-ryu, the previ-ous Soke was Tonomo Saigo, father (through adop-tion) of Judo’s legendary hero Shiro Saigo. Shiro wastorn between the two leaders of Daito-ryu andKodokan Judo. He quit both. Daito-ryu claims 3000techniques. Daito -ryu exponent and founder ofAikido, Morihei Ueshiba claimed Aikido also has3000 techniques.

Currently the Headmaster is Katsuki Kondo, MenkyoKaiden, Tokyo Prefecture.

Hopefully you noticed that many of the styles are en-twined, came from the same roots, or sharedfounders, and the founders cross-studied.

I have a saying: “Every time I headed in a new direc-tion with my martial study I just found myself cominghome from a new direction”.

After the training, a banquet was held at the Union Hotel Restaurant, where rank pro-motions were made for the Pacific Ju Jitsu Alliance, a Danzan Ryu organization formed by Professor RobertMcKean and Sensei BobKrull to further the teach-ings of their sensei, DaiShihan Bill Montero.

Hosted by Sensei Do-minic Beltrami and SenseiTim Brown of RenkiohenBudokai, this event raisesmoney each year to donateto the Santa Rosa hospicethat aided Sensei BobKrull in his last days.This is an event that wasthe brainchild of SenseiChris Nicholas, whohosted the first three an-nual events at his dojo inHayward. This year, Do-minic and Tim took thereins, and put on a qualityevent that featured top-level instruction. My hat'soff to Dominic and Timfor putting on such a greatevent. ■

end of class – which very often was when thereal learning began - we would ask “Pat, whatthe heck was that?!” and not always in the mostpositive tone. He would simply reply, “There’sKata for a reason, so we could all have a basicunderstanding of what were doing. But every-one’s gonna do it a little different. I don’t do thisthe same way I did 20 years ago and I don’tteach it the same way I did 10 years ago.”

That was Pat. He would teach anyonewho came through the door, the only thing heasked was that you be willing to learn and re-spect your Uke. He not only had an understand-ing that while we are all doing the same jujutsuwe were not all doing the same jujutsu and whilepeople are all alike all people are not all alike.And the DZR he did at 21 was not the same asthe DZR he did at 41. The man he was at 21 wasnot the man he was at 41.

In my mind the most amazing aspect ofjujutsu is its flexibility and its clear ability to beapplied dynamically. I view it as flexible becauseI have always seen it as a complete art consistingof upright techniques, ground techniques,weapons defenses/attacks, lethal and non lethalvariables, healing and other aspects I am sureothers more qualified than myself are better ableto articulate and demonstrate. But also dynamicin that when you slam someone there is no get-ting around it, you slam them. When you chokesomeone out they find themselves no longer inthe realm of consciousness but swimming in aworld of darkness. In the end I have come tolearn that being flexible in ones thinking and dy-namic in ones character is even more amazingand more valuable.

Lately I’ve had the benefit of experiencingand participating in other forms of martial artsexpression and sadly it has been too many yearssince I have had the pleasure of training in DZRon a regular basis. But when I am fortunateenough to find the time I visit a judo or jujutsudojo here and there to share and learn or maybea school of another discipline to do the same. Allthe knowledge that I gained rolling around onthe mat many years ago is the least of what I

Pat Browne: In MemoriamBy Marcus ShumpertNidan, Danzan Ryu Jujitsu

“You have to watch my feet becausesometimes I lie.” That’s what this short, roundand grizzly old judoka was telling me as hedemonstrated the beginnings of the Okuden tome. The truth of the matter is he never lied; hesimply left room for your interpretation of theart. He would frequently say, and he is quiteoften quoted for saying “That’s why they call it amartial art and not martial xeroxing.” Then hewould usually slam you into the mat or twistyou into a cartoonish knot that would leave allthose witnessing the display mesmerized.

That grizzled old judoka – and yes I usethe term with the utmost affection – was PatBrowne, Rokudan, Danzan Ryu Jujutsu AJJF,1947 - 1996. As I sit here today contemplating theapproach of the memorial of his death in May ofhis last year, it is hard to grasp that it has been adozen years since he departed from us. He wasmore than a teacher and mentor but a very dearfriend.

Previous to my education in DZR, I likeso many others stumbled through the maze ofdisciplines that are available to the uninitiated:Karate, Aikido, Hapkido, etc. I was quite pleasedwhen that tiny dojo in downtown Chicago, theoldest and longest running in the city, was rec-ommended to me.

I learned so much in those early dayswith him: Yawara, Nage and Shime (Respect,Courage, and Understanding). I remember oftenwhen we were privileged enough to have visi-tors to our little dojo we would strike and grap-ple and throw one another about with whatsome might call reckless abandonment. But aswe moved through the course of the evening wewould sit back a bit perplexed at what we werelooking upon. While there would be a resem-blance to our techniques and those our guestsdisplayed there was certainly some distinct dif-ferences as well. We would graciously train andwork out with our honored friends, but at the

carry with me from those nostalgic days. Someof my technique is off and I don’t recall the taisabaki perfectly. However, I find I am strength-ened by the principles not of hazushi; I find my-self lifted up not by the physical aspects ofshinnin, but by the wisdom of a man who wasalways true to life and lived by the enduringprinciples of Kokua and Ohana.

I don’t see these principles in every dojo Ivisit today. I see them less outside the dojo.

I remember once when I was teaching anew student and he remarked to me that jujutsuwas the “take them to the ground art!” It wasstartling to me because despite a dizzying arrayof shime at my disposal I always did everything

I could to stay off the ground. But then I guess itdepends on your interpretation. My scholarlystudy of jujutsu has revealed to me that jujutsudid not always enjoy a positive reputation. I sup-pose it’s true that there have been individualswho used it for less than chivalrous deeds butthankfully the art is not defined by its past andneither are men defined entirely by theirs. Butwe are all left to our interpretation of the art andeach other.

I have already said that Pat never lied andthat’s true. As a Professor he might sit in judg-ment of your technique but as a man he never satin judgment of you. Of all the techniques hehelped me understand this was the greatest ofthem all. ■
