Kodenkan Hawaiian Jiu-Jitsu 1943 (part 1 of 3)

[@yamamichikenkyu]

Incredible! It is no wonder why soldiers coming back from WW2 wanted to learn these arts. My grandfather who was captured on Wake, December '41, was an unwilling uke to many of these practice techniques. Luckily he survived the camps. I wonder how would feel about his grandson's interest in the arts, and karatedo/bushido as a way of life. 1943 seams a long ago very separate world. We learn these techniques in the dojo, then, they were a martial means to survival. Great material. Thanks

Cool! I love watching these old school judo/jujutsu videos.

[@jasondparrish]

Perry this is so friggin awesome! I can't wait to show dad.

[@PrivateEyeYiYi]

One of the instructors in this video was Wally Jay, who is known for Small Circle JuJitsu.

[@MrKahunadog]

Awesome. I love watching this. There are so many pieces of useful things watching it. Universal principals of throws and breaks. Some of the flows/combinations would never work on a fully coherent combatant, but take into account of atemi and principals this stuff is truly awesome.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks very much for posting this. Noticed a very young Wally Jay (of Small Circle JiuJitsu fame) right at the end of Part 1, and he is also there for about 5 minutes at the beginning of Part 2.

@Mark92470 I too have this full video. Long ago we have decided here in Hawaii to never sell this information for profit. I would hope that others would honor Okazaki sensei's spirit.

[@IronMantisMartialArts]

Excellent, thanks for sharing.

[@tarnisher]

Awesome stuff! I'm proud to have trained in the Kodenkan art.

[@ChasGli]

When I learned Okazaki style it was called KoDenKahn. Later I encountered another school in the Okazaki style they said if you say KoDenKahn no one will know what you are talking about; call it Danzan Ryu. Does anyone here know the history? Was there a schism?

[@peptobismolz]

wow really cool, didnt know footage of okazaki existed.

[@judoguy101]

Great stuff, especially at 810, 8:55 and 9:10. Those would be awesome moves in the UFC. Joking aside, some rare and valuable footage.

[@giovanni-hf9uo]

Thanks for sharing this precious info

[@marthaluntz1508]

thank you

[@jujutsu987]

@killerhobag The founder of this system (Professor Okazaki) cross trained in early catch wrestling so in a way, you're right except back then wrestlers were really wrestling and not to pin but to maim.

[@VanessaRodriguez-nd7xp]

respect

[@jujutsu987]

@howartduck1 You're absolutely right! Type 'Danzan Ryu Jujutsu Professor Pat Browne' in the youtube search bar and you should find it! NOW THERE!

[@jujutsu987]

@Mark92470 Professor Browne Demo Is Up.. Type "Dan Zan Ryu Jujutsu Professor Pat Browne" in your youtube search bar and he should come up..No sound though but who cares when it's Pat Browne?!

[@justinreason2040]

The gate keepers plague present dat day martial arts as well, bjj people especially.

[@patfromlogan]

@cil1979 well gee, ask him to share it. It is good for the art and culture and history and honors Okazaki and Hawaii.

[@howartduck1]

@jujutsu987 thank you! kokua

[@entornar]

Muy, pero que muy interesante.

[@howartduck1]

@jukido987 okazaki would have released the footage

[@ShalomYal]

@cil1979 I hope in the martial arts spirit you encourage its viewing - if its all about $ it makes me sad. No one can learn martial arts from a video - I hope you and your father have a great school and many hundreds of teachers

% 100 judo.

[@homersamson6170]

So Danzan Ryu Jujitsu, is the dynamic blending of old world Judo and Jujitsu with Kung Fu? ......ah so 😁
