anybody hear of Dan Zan Ryu Zenyo Bujutsu

[dear john]

it is taught at the bushidokan temeple. there are a few places that they teach all over the world.

 

anybody ever hear of anything close to it.

I've heard of and practiced Danzan Ryu Jujutsu. It is a style of jujutsu founded by Professor Henry Okazaki in Hawaii in the early to mid 1900's. Sorry, I can't think of the date right off hand. I've never heard of Danzan Ryu Zenyo Bujutsu before.

I did an internet search on it and came up with nothing? Are you sure that this style is as prolific as you thought?

[dear john]

i think were thinking of the same art

 

okay i asked my instructor, he syas it is the same, but the and were added for a reason, i forget why.

 

what is your master instructors name?

 

why do you think it is not prolific?

Glenn Medici in Phoenix AZ. I'm also curious as to why the partial name change. Is your instructor still affiliated with the Danzan Ryu Organization?

[dear john]

ill have to ask.

 

i know that we recently broke off from AJJF.

 

my master instructor is Professor Herb Lague.

 

i have only benn doing it for a month, but it has made my understanding of my main MA alot better.

I find the name very interesting. It translates as "Sandal Wood Mountain System of Efficient Martial Arts"

 

However, the term bujutsu ususally refers specifically to the Samurai weapon arts and not an empty hand style where jutsu might be more appropriate.

 

It also means that your instructor is claiming the Danzan Ryu Jujutsu heritage by using the name. How long has your "professor been studying Danzan Ryu? Or, if I might ask, how old is your instructor?

[dear john]

well the zenyo bujutsu is part of the tibetan we added to it. i still havent to talk to prof herb lague.but it comes from tibetan.

 

 

 

i dont know hi age but he looks about late 60's and believe me hes not a knock off or anything

I looked at the website. You'll have to asl Professor Lague if he knows Dave McNeill. He's also one of my teachers. Sensei McNeill holds high dan ranking in Danzan Ryu as well, although that is not what he teaches anymore. I don't practice Danzan Ryu anymore and it was only for a few months until I started some other training that I was lining up. I originally started training with Sensei Medici because he also teaches Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu, but he will only teach you Shorin Ryu if you are part of his Jujutsu class. Anyway, I found another karate instructor and so I didn't have to study Jujutsu anymore to learn Shorin Ryu.

[dear john]

well i asked about the zenyo bujutsu and he said that it translates into something like"complete or comperhensive understanding of an art"

 

he said that the addition of the name is from our tibetan style. he said the foot work is alot different from other schools.
