[patfromlogan]

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

[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.

[killerhobag]

lol @ 9:08 thats like a WWE move or something

[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.

[tarnisher]

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

[1NX9]

After watching this I think jujitsu has be badly under rated.

This is really good stuff!

[newtubetubetube]

@1NX9 Under rated? By whom?

[entornar]

Muy, pero que muy interesante.

[Tyrel82]

Wally Jay making shodan if I remember correctly.

[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

[Taekkyon2coree]

Very interesting but on a sidenote I wonder why the background music is Korean theme "Arirang".

[bfowler7]

awesome vid.

[jasondparrish]

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

[stevescottjudo]

Seeing this brings back fond memories for me.  I studied Kodenkan Jujitsu under Prof. Ken Regennitter in Kansas City in the 1960s-1970s. Thanks for posting this.

[Sifuchad]

Absolutely Awesome...fine set of video's...great post.  Grasshopper

[wcspart]

Absolument grandiose.

merci.

[peptobismolz]

wow really cool, didnt know footage of okazaki existed.

[jukido987]

Yes, it exists. A Famous martial artist by the name of Bernie Lau (now deceased) used to sell the footage you see here in VHS format by mail. he obtained it from original students of Okazaki, namely Professor Juan Gomez who shot the film in 8 milimeter. hard to find now if at all. i have all of them.

[Mark92470]

perhaps you could look into having them digiatlly remastered and sell them.

[jukido987]

@Mark92470 Great Idea, but i wouldn't know where to start. So dust, they will accrue, and on top of my ET Center, they shall languish. It is of excellent quality as well. I Also have Footage of the late great AJJF professor Patrick Browne in 1977 as a Yodan executing Shinnin & Shinyo. Also of the late Bob Krull doing some gun take aways and Knife stuff. Among other niceties.

[Mark92470]

Man, it sure would be great to have a copy of all those. You are very lucky.

[jukido987]

I Would be Glad to share them but wouldn't want to Infringe on any copyrights or piss anybody off (The families of the deceased) The footage is easily over 2hrs long.

[BuJitsu4life]

I understand completely.

[howartduck1]

@jukido987

okazaki would have released the footage

[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!

[howartduck1]

@jujutsu987 thank you! kokua

[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?!

[donoberloh]

@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.

[1NX9]

@jukido987

Bernie Lau as in aikijujitsu?

[jukido987]

@1NX9 Yes That Bernie Lau. And yes, i know..he's not deceased as i mistakenly said earlier.

[martiallaw101]
