Professor Okazaki moved to The Hawaiian Islands in the early 1920s to
teach his beloved Kodenkan Danzan Ryu Ju Jitsu. Not long after, Mr. Sig
Kufferath first encountered the professor and a close, personal
relationship evolved.
After Professor Okazaki's untimely death in 1951, Sensei Kufferath was
elected, in a unanimous decision by the highest-ranking black belts, to
take over the title of Professor from Okazaki. Professor Kufferath
thereby became the second Headmaster of the Kodenkan Danzan Ryu style
of Ju Jitsu.
Professor Sigmund Kufferath died at his home in Santa Clara, CA on May
7, 1999 with his family and friends at his side. He lived a long and
full life passing his knowledge on to many by whom he will be missed. |
