The ancient arts of Balancing and Restoring.
Danzan Ryu Seifukujitsu was developed as a form of healing in the early 20th century by the founder of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu, Professor Seishiro Okazaki. Okazaki refined, practiced and taught the healing art to hundreds of individuals in pre and post WWII Hawaii. Trained in both Japanese (Seifukujitsu) and Hawaiian (Lomilomi) healing arts, Master Okazaki was a world renowned healer treating patients such as President Franklin Roosevelt, George Burns, Charlie Chaplin, Carol Lombard, Johnny Weismuller, and many others.
Many of the techniques used in restoration and revival (Kappo) are taught as part of your overall jujitsu training. Training in Qigong and Zazen meditation are also standard. Advanced classes and certification in Danzan Ryu Healing are available yearly in the Los Angeles area. Click here for more info.
Danzan Ryu is taught as a balanced system requiring the highest wisdom of the martial art to be transmitted through the subtle skills of healing and vice versa. Danzan Ryu is a means of perfection of character via the philosophy of service to others and respect for all living things. In the higher stages of training, the techniques or kata of the arts are seen as a form of Qigong... the union of mind, movement and breath that helps the practitioner to cultivate life force energy known as Chi, Qi, Ki, Mana, Prana and a host of other cultural terms.
Today, many of Danzan Ryu’s finest instructors are keeping the art alive through full-time Bodywork and healing practices. The many benefits of this therapy continue to include:

and many more...
