Seishiro Okazaki, the creator and founder of The Kodenkan Danzan Ryu style of Ju Jitsu, was born in the Fukushima Prefecture on the island of Honshu, Japan, in the late 1800s.

During the course of Professor Okazaki's studies he studied 52 different styles of Ju Jitsu while visiting numerous villages in Japan. Professor Seishiro Okazaki had a unique opportunity to study a wide range of hard and soft styles, combat Systems and aesthetic ways that never before, and never thereafter were openly accessible. During the course of his training he had the great fortune to study under some of the most formidable masters of the time.



In creating the Kodenkan Danzan Ryu style of Ju Jitsu Okazaki synthesized the many styles of Ju Jitsu he studied, combining the practical styles of utilitarian combat with the esoteric principles inherent in Samurai tradition.
