List Of Danzan-ryū Techniques

The Danzan Ryu lists differ in concept from the Kodokan Judo lists in that the techniques are taught in kata form in some applicable context, rather than simply demonstrating and enumerating a single technique. Deashi Hayanata, for example, is not a single technique, but a combination of Deashibarai (foot sweep) and Ude Hishigi Jujigatame (cross arm bar). Emphasis on randori may vary greatly from one dojo to the next.

There are multiple romanizations, and many arts have more than one name. We will attempt to represent the commonly used romanization variants. In addition, not all sources agree on the correct kanji (Japanese characters) for each technique or list. The alternative renderings are noted. The romanization was not agreed to until 1957. The earlier spellings are now archaic. Some Kanji are also no longer common and not searchable (i.e. Danchu or Bitei).

The rank requirements for Danzan Ryu are not standardized, and may vary from dojo to dojo or even from instructor to instructor. However, the curriculum is divided into three levels: Shoden (beginning), Chuden (intermediate), and Okuden (Hidden or Inner teachings). Many of the techniques are considered Kuden - to be transmitted orally and never written down.

Each of the Okuden scrolls corresponds to a level of teaching license:

  • Shinin-no-Maki was commemorated by the award of the Mokuroku, or catalogue scroll, listing the history of the art along with the Shoden and Chuden techniques. This is the basic instructor level and is equivalent to second-degree blackbelt.
  • Shin'yō-no-Maki corresponds to the fully licensed instructor (Kyoshi) level and is equivalent to fourth- or fifth-degree blackbelt.
  • Shinjin-no-Maki (post Pearl Harbor attack) was commemorated by the award of the Kaiden-no-Sho, or certificate of complete transmission (menkyo kaiden). This corresponds to the master instructor (Shihan / Professor) level of traditional jujutsu.

    “The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”

    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    “The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
    —John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
