Then Prof. Bill Fischer gave an outstandinglecture on Ethics in the Martial Arts. Afterthat, the group split up and started to getsweaty. Shinin No Maki and Shinyo NoMaki split into three rooms. All rooms hadtwo main Professors in charge but the doorswere kept open and the other Professorswould wander in to share their perspectiveon an art they truly loved. All the differentProfessors working together in all the dif-ferent classes so that everyone benefited, nomatter which classroom they were in.

After the first set of classes, it wastime to cool down a bit as Prof. McKeanshared concepts of Dojo Management. Itwas an open forum as stu-dents asked questions butalso shared their experi-ences of what worked andwhat did not when run-ning a school. Then it wasoff for a quick lunch andback on the mat for Prof.Mike Esmailzadeh whodiscussed the techniquesof teaching.

Then time to ramp it up again, ashalf the group trained the back half ofShinyo No Maki while the other half wereshown how to take Shime No Kata and OkuNo Kata to the next level. Prof. Ingebretsenand Prof. Ken Eddy led Shinyo No Maki as

By Sensei ChrisNicholas, RokudanPhotos courtesy ofErnie DeMoss

In almost anyMartial Arts Event, there are certain mo-ments that stand out. That was not the caseat the Black Belt Weekend, however. Everymoment stood out!!!!!! The Danzan Ryu‘Ohana Black Belt Weekend saw 15 profes-sors sharing their knowledge with 66 blackbelts in three different classrooms in one ofthe most unique formats I have ever seen.There were professors and students fromthe Pacific Jujitsu Alliance, Kilohana Mar-tial Arts Association, Shoshin Ryu Yudan-shaki, American Jujitsu Institute, JujitsuAmerican, American Judo & Jujitsu Feder-ation and Bushidokan Federation. And atthe end of the first day, it peaked in an his-toric moment.

On Saturday morning we knew itwas going to be agreat day, al-though a bit hotwith tempera-tures in the 90’s.It started withthe bow in andexplanation ofthe day’s events.From the day’s

What the Kodokan Knows about Professor Okazaki and Danzan-ryu JujutsuBy Tom Lang, godanDanzan-ryu JujutsuFebruary 23, 2013

On a February, 2013, trip to Japan, Jun Shimada, aJapanese friend who translated one of my books into Japan-ese, arranged for the two of us to visit the Kodokan to talkwith the librarian, Ms. Hanako Motohashi. I was interestedin verifying Professor Okazaki’s judo rank and in investigat-ing the names and kanji of the higher boards.

Before continuing, you need to know that decisiveanswers are hard to find in Japan. Ambiguity is a part of theculture, and answers are usually followed by some sort ofqualification. In other words, we may never get definitive an-swers to many of our questions about Danzan-ryu, althoughwe may get evidence that makes some answers more believ-able than others.

Professor Okazaki’s Judo RankWe have long been told that Professor Okazaki was

promoted to sandan by Professor Kano. There was also spec-ulation that this rank may have been awarded in Hawaii asa “batsugun” promotion, or promotion for winning contestsagainst several consecutive judoka of the same rank in asingle event rather than by a rank exam or by participation

in a certain number of matches.The Kodokan has kept meticulous records of promo-

tion for close to 100 years. A search of these records revealedthat Okazaki Seishiro joined the Kodokan on December 15,1924, and was awarded the rank of shodan on January 11,1925 (Figure). There is no record of him receiving a sandanor any other rank from the Kodokan.

Names and Kanji for the Higher BoardsI also asked Motohashi-san about the names and

possible kanji for the higher boards. The time between Pro-fessor Okazaki ending his training as a student and begin-ning his teaching of Danzan-ryu was only a few years. WhenDanzan-ryu was introduced, however, it was essentially infinal form. The techniques may vary somewhat by instructor,but the boards have never changed. My thought was that cre-ating such stability in so short a period could be explained ifOkazaki included blocks of techniques from other, fullyformed systems. For example, most techniques on Nage andShime also appear on the Kodokan judo lists.

Shinyo no MakiWe know that Professor Okazaki studied with Mas-

ter Kichimatsu Tanaka at the Shinyu-Kai Dojo, where helearned Yoshin-ryu jujutsu, a ryu with which Motohashi-sanis familiar. Yoshin-ryu has a list of techniques called Shinyono Maki: (or ,which uses a differentkanji for “no.”). In her opinion, the kanji for our Shinyo listwould likely be the same as these kanji. However (See? I toldyou . . .), she also suggested another set of kanji for this list:

.

The next step is to determine what techniques areassociated with Yoshin-ryu’s Shinyo No Maki. If the tech-niques are similar to ours (difficult to characterize, but tech-niques of strategy and tactics), it may well be that ProfessorOkazaki adopted or adapted this list in creating his own.

Shingen no MakiSome time ago, I found on an Internet search a men-

tion of Shin-gen no Maki(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sōsuishi-ryū). An excerptfrom the Wikipedia entry is below.

Matsui Hyakutaro Munetada“Munetada was born native to Kyūshū,Japan in Fukuoka on February of Genji year1 (1864). He was the first son of Matsui Kak-itsu who was the samurai of Fukuoka han.As a boy he was fascinated with the martialarts so he started to train with his uncleMatsui Kokichi, a Shingen No Maki (similarto Menkyo Kaiden) and direct student ofSōsuishi-ryū under 11th generation inheri-tor Shitama Munetsuna. Munetada alsobegan training under Shitama Munetsunaand received a Shingen No Maki inSōsuishi-ryū. His line of Sōsuishi-ryū iscalled the “Matsui-ha” and it continues inTokyo today . . .”

KilohanACHRONICLES

Grandmaster Maasaki Hatsumi, of ninjutsu fame,confirmed that this rank was awarded in Sōsuishi-ryū.

Sōsuishi-ryū is the modern name of Sōsuishitsu-ryū. (The name was changed to remove the “tsu” ending thatcreated an offending syllable.) Sōsuishitsu-ryū is listed inProfessor Okazaki’s mokuroku as one of the many tradi-tional jujutsu ryu. Clearly, he knew of the ryu.

The Shingen No Maki certificate ofSōsuishi-ryū is of interest because, like our own listof the same name, it is the highest certificateawarded by the ryu and contains the most secrettechniques of the ryu.

I contacted two people whom I know prac-tice Sōsuishi-ryū. Judoka and author Pat Harring-ton of the New South Wales area of Australia andRory Miller of Portland, Oregon. Neither had everheard of the Shingen No Maki rank or certificate.

From memory, Motohashi-san quickly suggestedtwo sets of kanji for this list: and .

The next step, again, is to determine what tech-niques are associated with Sōsuishi-ryū’s Shingen No Maki.If the techniques are similar to ours (striking points andtechniques), it may well be that Professor Okazaki adoptedor adapted this list in creating his own.

Shinin no MakiMy friend Shimada-san found an article on Danzan-

ryu written in Japanese that mentioned Takeru Sasaki, aman who studied Danzan Ryu in Reno, Nevada, underRobert Kolbet, a student of Herb Lague, many years ago. Henow teaches in Tokyo. I contacted him and received the fol-lowing.

“I think ‘Shin-In’ was originally pronounced‘Shin-kage.’ The word ‘Kage’ can be alsopronounced ‘In’; therefore, Kage changedinto In during long time. I think ‘Shin-In’ or‘Shin-kage’ was concerned with Shin-kageryu. Shin-kage ryu is very famous Japanesetraditional martial arts school. Please seethis site; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkage-ry%C5%AB” I had not heard of this possibility and have not had

time to investigate it. The one book in my library on Shin-kage ryu (Shin Kage Ryu: Japan’s Complete Fighting sys-tem, by Robin L. Rielly, Tokyo: Charles E. Tuttle, 1989)shows no similarities to either the history of Danzan-ryu orto the techniques of our Shinin no Maki.

ClosingMotohashi-san has given me leads to experts in the

Yoshin-ryū and Sōsuishi-ryū. My friend Shimada-san is alsonow hooked on solving the mystery. I would not have gottenthis far without him and will probably not get further with-out him, either. The need to consult native Japanese speak-ers and those with expertise in martial arts is essential to thisresearch. Simply making the connections to experts in Japanrequires a native speaker, and Shimada-san has been incred-ibly helpful in this regard. We owe him a debt of gratitude.

So, aside from verifying the shodan promotion for 3

Professor Okazaki, the above findings raise more questionsthan they answer. I emphasize that I have not found defini-tive answers for the meaning or kanji of the higher boards,although I think the similarities mentioned above are mostinteresting. Finding answers is possible: we still have placesto look.

A printout of the Kodokan’s record verifying that ProfessorOkazaki received the rank of shodan on January 11, 1925.The date he joined the Kodokan is indicated in the upper-left corner (24/12/15), and the date of the promotion is in-dicated in the upper-right corner (25/1/11). The KDKindicates that the promotion was made at the Kodokan. Thefirst five kanji to the right of the dotted line read OkazakiSeishiro. These kanji are identical to those appearing on aGoshin no Maki scroll signed by Professor Okazaki. (How-ever, the three kanji for his first name differ from those heused in signing his mokuroku and kaidensho, which in turnare different than those he used in signing his book (Nosense in making this easy). Professor Okazaki was also visit-ing Japan on those dates. The Kodokan has no other recordfor Professor Okazaki. I asked specifically about the sandanrank and was told that there is no record of ProfessorOkazaki receiving that or any other rank from the Kodokan.

Transgender Self DefenseBy Melisa Spence

This past February, Girl ArmySelf Defense held our first 3-week basiccourse for transgender and gen-derqueer-identified people. Normally,our courses are open to any self-identi-fied women or transgender people (in-cluding transgender men). We offered

this course at the request of students who wanted a space towork out self defense issues specific to being trans or gen-derqueer. Sometimes transgender folks who attend ourcourses feel concerned that they would be taking space awayfrom non-transgender (also known as cisgendered) women,or inviting hostility towards themselves, by bringing uptransgender issues. Sometimes trans folks, especially transmen, are concerned that simply their presence is a disruptionor potentially upsetting to women survivors in the class. Al-though neither of us who taught the class identify as trans-gender, we consider it to be important to offer trans andgenderqueer folks a space that is clearly theirs. We do notwant our trans students to feel, despite our best intentions,like a guest of tenuous status in “women’s space.”

Eleven students at-tended the course. This wasslightly smaller than our basiccourses normally run, butlarge enough for nice groupenergy. Personally, I enjoyedteaching a slightly smallercourse, and felt that it addedto the sense of camaraderieand community in the room.A number of the students con-tinued on to take our most re-cent Stick/Knife/Gun Defensecourse, which was one of thelargest advanced courses thatGirl Army has held. I am very excited about all of this, andhope that one of the eventual results will be more transgen-der folks teaching and assisting in Girl Army as collectivemembers.... and more transgender folks rocking out in themartial arts. (Yay, Fallon Fox!)

One thing that I feel that Girl Army still needs to im-prove on, is how to get the word out and make trans womenfeel welcome in our courses. Overall, the balance in this lastbasic course was towards folks who were socialized female,and currently identify as genderqueer or male. Trans womenare still marginalized in many ways by the queer community,and are particularly targeted for violence by society at large.One study suggests that of trans-specific hate crimes, 98%of incidents were perpetrated against people on the MTF(male-to-female) spectrum (Currah & Minter, 2000). We inGirl Army hope that we can do a small part in changing this.

Portals of Danzan Ryu JuJitsu Part III By Professor Dale KahounPublished with the permission of andin conjunction with the American Jujitsu Institute’s newsletter, Ka Leo o Kodenkan.This four part article is publishedserially.

You have traveled through time with me in theprevious two sections and we have arrived at lastto where I wanted to create a learning place, amental Dojo. This is just an exercise, it’s what I’mthinking at this time, with corrections and the sug-gestions of others I expect to learn something.

In part then, Professor Okazaki wanted to teachat least some cultural lessons. Some are here onthe lists, more than just physical exercise. He gavethe style a name from Chinese, Danzan, to honorhis ‘Praying Mantis’ Mushi Jutsu Sifu, Wo Chung.Professor Okazaki also gave techniques from out-side Japanese culture Japanese names.Portal definition: A doorway entrance or gate, es-pecially one that is imposing. A portal of knowl-edge.

Suspend your disbelief for now. Think of a Dojothat is built like a large dome; it’s round. Aroundthe inside of the wall of the Dojo are doors (por-tals) that are open. The doors are all open but youcannot see outside because of a heavy mist. In thecenter of the dome is the mat where you learn andpractice Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. The Martial Arts thatmake up Danzan Ryu have come through their re-spective doors to mysteriously become grouped(by Professor Okazaki) together to become whatwe know as Danzan Ryu.

When we come to a technique that has a certainsignificance, we wonder which specific portal thatcorresponds to the technique’s significance. I’mnot going through all the techniques of DanzanRyu, just a few, and I’ll skip around as I please tomake particular points.

Many of the techniques of Danzan Ryu are fromkoryu (older style Japanese Jujitsu).

In Kiai No Maki number 19 is ‘Rokushaku BoFury’, or ‘six foot staff swinging’. What is expectedisn’t that much: with some skillful intent, swingthe staff in a pattern. It’s not on most school’stests, but you should know it. While walkingaround the dome practicing not to hit yourself on

the knee or on your head you pass one of the por-tals where you hear from the mist, “Hey! You havea Bo! You want to learn the 22 movements ofAikido staff? My friend knows some Okinawanforms that are more of a striking kind of style.”Whoa! The Bo or Staff Portal just grabbed you!This I believe is just what Professor Okazaki hadplanned. You didn’t really learn an attack or de-fense with the Bo; it was just a display, and kind ofan invitation to go on a ‘martial road trip’.

Take Yawara 20, Hagai Shime. To students whostudied the methods of Professor Bud Estes, 10thDan, it was the proper application (an attack) of a‘Wing Constriction’ that in a hold similar to a ‘fullnelson’ you scissor your forearms past each side ofUke’s neck, dislocating the shoulders. Sig Kuf-ferath, 10th Dan taught it as the escape from any-thing similar to a ‘full nelson’. By forming astructure with the backs of your hands againstyour forehead while stepping into a horse stanceand simultaneously snapping your elbows to yoursides you disrupt Uke’s grip. Then you step with ahalf-moon step around Ukes foot, propping thefront of your thigh against the back of Uke’s thigh,off balancing Uke to the rear, then hammer fist tothe groin, with that same active arm, drive upUke’s torso with your elbow, striking Uke underthe jaw, and opening his torso back up (from dou-bling-up from that hammer-fist). Your other handnow hammer-fists Uke in the solar plexus as youback step removing that propping leg that wassupporting Uke and he falls.

There is another variation of Hagai Shimefrom Fusegijutsu that is also an escape where youraise your arms, drop out of Uke’s grip, land at oron Uke’s feet, quickly grab Uke’s ankles and leanback locking Uke’s knees causing him to fall. Atthis juncture, you could; run, counter-attack withstrikes, or grapple (whichever is your strength asthis is for self-defense).

So . . . which is the right way? First do itwhichever way Sensei at your Dojo says is the rightway. However, in my mind’s eye I see an olderJapanese man just looking at our frustration andconfusion, laughing and his answer is just, “Yes!”Yes! That’s because we just did a study of a properattack and two defenses in our study of HagaiShime making it all Hagai Shime.

I have to paraphrase this thought. I had it writ-ten down but it disappeared. It was a quote from8

a Japanese fencing master. You with your westernminds are too anxious to understand and explaineverything. Once you do you are trapped in placeby your own words!

For this technique, when I use the Estesmethod, I feel approval from the Koryu (old Ju-jitsu) Portal. From the Kufferath method (whichUke should attack using the Estes method), it isevident to be of Chuan Fa, Kenpo or Kung Fu lin-eage. Possibly, it is Koryu from Genpin’s Kung Fufrom the samurai era, or from Wo Chung, Profes-sor Okazaki’s Praying Mantis Kung Fu Sifu. Maybeit was from the unknown Ryuku Okinawan KarateMaster Professor Okazaki studied from or a 1930addition from Thomas Miyashiro when he taughtOkinawa To-te at Professor Okazaki’s school.Kenpo is basically the Japanese way of sayingChuan Fa (and we usually all say Kung Fu whichreally isn’t correct). I’ll put this in the Kenpo Por-tal. Many Jujitsu practitioners cross train inKenpo and if that technique speaks to you, someJujitsu Sensei are also Kenpo Sensei (especially inHawaii). I had learned the Fusegijutsu (self-de-fense) technique before I ever saw a Judo or Ju-jitsu practice! We did this in high-schoolwrestling: the Wrestling Portal. In the deep mistof the Wrestling Portal you might hear the voicesof Danzan Ryu notables John Chow-Hoon (whoalso frequents the mists of the Kenpo Portal) andhis partner Charlie Kalani Jr. (AKA Professor ToruTanaka, pro-wrestler).

I’ve also always felt that Oku No Kata 24, Kaza-

guruma, or Wind Wheel, and Oku No Kata 25,Jigoku Otoshi, might be Japanese too, but are eas-ily recognized by “Big Time Wrestling Fans” as a“Boston Crab” and a “Fireman’s Carry Body Slam”.They are likely developed by both sides of theworld, so I’ll say both Koryu Portal and WrestlingPortal.

If you do your Yawara 10, Katate Tori, andYawara 11, Ryote Tori, as quick breaks, or if youuse a nerve pressure with the tip of your thumb be-tween the bones on the back of Uke’s hand, theLua Portal acknowledges you. If you take Ukedown with a constant pressure you are back in theKoryu Portal. Don’t be too surprised: there areonly so many ways to manipulate a human body,but intent and application will give you a hintabout what style of the technique you are doing.Lua is primarily interested in bone-breaking anddislocation. Lua also can have some surprisingpressure point techniques that were probably de-veloped from Hawaiian massage Lomi Lomi. Deepfrom the Lua Portal mists we feel the spirit ofDavid Kainhee of Puna Hawaii, still here teachingLua. Also from an old Hawaiian family is OloheSolomon Kaihewalu, who is in the Kenpo Portal,too.

If you do your Hadaka Shime A, B, and C, ShimeNo Kata 11, 12, and 13, as a wind-pipe crush andtwo neck-breaks, or all three as neck-breaks you’reback in the Lua Portal. If they are respectively apain-choke and two carotid restraints, they goback to the Koryu Portal.9

and I was able to observe Carlito Bon-joc as he taught Serrada Eskrima.

But the day did not end there.After a long day of training, we weretreated to excellent food and flowingdrinks at the Villa Ragusa banquethall. The well-deserved awards andwords of appreciation and affectionpresented that evening were heart-felt, touching. As she received her Leg-end award, Graciela Casillasexpressed, while she has been a partof many different organizations in thepast, she looks forward to being apart of ours for a long time. Perhapsthe words from Tom Jenkins, whowas inducted into the Shoshin RyuYudanshakai Hall of Fame this year,best demonstrated the feelings offamily and brotherhood that werepresent throughout the evening, “Ifthere’s ever anything I can do to helpyou, please let me know. I love youall”. While I have attended the lastthree years of Deep Roots events,this year’s event was more profoundfor me. More than in previous years,the feeling of belonging, offamily/ohana, and of friendship waspervasive throughout the weekend.

Thank you so much to all theamazing instructors, assistants, anddemonstrators for sharing yourknowledge and experience with us.

On a personal note, it wasonly a few short years ago that Ibegan my first martial arts training,and joined Kilohana Martial Arts As-sociation. At that time, my under-standing of martial arts was limitedto what my young daughter sharedwith me from her training and to whatI had seen in Jackie Chan and ChuckNorris movies. I did not know what itmeant to train in the Arts, and I didnot understand how the training couldchange the way I thought and the wayI treated others my life. I am gratefulfor the knowledge that has beenshared with me. As I continue my ed-ucation, I hope to be able to impart toothers what I learn as well. I look for-ward to future events and opportuni-ties to grow and learn with my family and friends.

2012 Deep Roots/Kufferath MastersSeminar and Annual Awards BanquetNovember 17 and 18, 2012Campbell, CaliforniaBy Shelly Beeson

The cold and rainy start to the day that Saturdaymorning didn’t dampen the spirits of the instructors and par-ticipants for the 2012 Deep Roots/Kufferath Masters Semi-

nar, hosted by the Kilohana MartialArts Association, and held on Satur-day and Sunday, November 17 and18, 2012 in our tiny town of Camp-bell, CA. The chaotic combination offriends greeting friends, participantswaiting to register, and the chillymorning air set the tone for what wasto be a very full day of instructionand camaraderie. Students, both be-ginner and experienced, were eagerto master a new skill and meet newpeople.

The event was attended by35 instructorsand 86 partici-pants, including20 young partici-pants who couldbe seen turningcartwheels andtraining hard yetgiggling allthrough-out theday.

One of the most difficult deci-sions to make at these training seminarseach year is whose breakout session tojoin. Unfortunately, it’s impossible tojoin them all! However, while helpingout behind the scenes, I was fortunate tobe able to join in a few of the workoutsessions. I was able to glimpse GracielaCasillas in action as she taught EdgedWeapons, and I practiced Ju Jitsu with

Richard Pietrelli and Matt Olson.During the happy commotion

of lunch, I helped to move the lunchline along as quickly as possible. I wasable to meet and greet many alreadytired but enthusiastic people. Thedemonstrations from the newly-pro-moted black belts were inspiring. Wewatched demonstrations from Shin-bukan and Zentai. The dedication eachdemonstrator has to his/her art shinedthrough in the displays of their tech-nique.

After lunch, I participated inSmall Circle Ju Jitsu with Rob Gale,

Prof McKean and Prof Coelho raised our awareness in theShime and Oku class. As I worked in the Shime/Oku class,Prof James Muro would share little tidbits of knowledge withme and my best friend, Mike Tucker. This knowledge cameat a price though as we were then asked to demonstratethose enhancements to the class at large so that everyone gota new perspective on the arts.

Finally the day concluded with Tessen No Maki,Tanto No Maki, and Daito No Maki. No one was left wantingin those classes as the Professors Esmailzadeh, Jenkins,Nolte, Shehorn, Spencer and Eddy shared these traditionalarts…but with a little twist here and there to take things upa notch.

When it was time to call it a day, wegathered in the main room to bow out.But first the three host organizations,Shoshin Ryu, Kilohana, and PacificJujitsu Alliance awarded some specialpromotions to a few of their BlackBelts. It was at this point we wit-nessed history as Prof Larry Nolte re-ceived his Hachidan. Prof Nolte, whois Senior Instructor at the Medford

Judo Academy (the oldest Danzan Ryu School still open andin the same location), received his Shodan from Prof. BudEstes in 1960. Prof Nolte was praised by Prof Muro and

Prof Rebmann for his years ofdevotion to Danzan Ryu Ju-jitsu. But it didn’t stop there asProf Fischer then announcedthat this quiet and humble manwas this year’s inductee to theDanzan Ryu Jujitsu’s Hall ofFame!!!!!

After an evening of ca-maraderie, we were back on themat Sunday Morning. SenseiAshley Rebmann shared the Children’s Program developedby Prof Ray Law, still in use today in Prof Rebmann’s club.Then it was time to get busy with Tanju No Maki and Hawai-ian Hanbo. This class was followed by an Open Forum classwhere all the Professors shared the matand taught their favorite techniques.After a slightly longer lunch, Prof Inge-bretsen brought out the torture sticks andcement blocks to finish the day with soreears and crumbled concrete.

I have fun at almost every eventI go to. This was no exception. The ca-maraderie, combined with the high levelof instruction made for an outstandingtraining environment. If this was any in-dication of what to expect in 2014, I am excited for the big‘Ohana event next June. Mark you calendars, you are notgoing to want to miss it!

Congratulations to all those who received rankpromotions this weekend: Erik Smith – Shodan, Jose Ben-ham – Nidan, Nancy Soares – Sandan, Kathleen Nicholas– Yodan, Ashley Rebmann – Godan, Charles Goodman –Rokudan, Mike Tucker – Rokudan, Chris Nicholas –Rokudan, Prof. Larry Nolte – Hachidan

A special thanks to Leslee Kufferath who was on hand togive massages in the method taught to her by her father,Senior Professor Sig Kufferath.11
