Danzan Ryu
I would like for anyone to comment on this specific style of jujitsu. I have recently been looking at Prof. Robert Hudson's division of the art. Is it more of a standing jujitsu or ground jujitsu? Can someone comment on the principals or philosphies on this particular ryu? Is it comprehensive (all facets and rages) or mainly a locking throwing art? I am just trying to get an idea of what it is like. Unfortunately I wont have an opportunity to experience until I get to my next destination.

This thread may be of help to you.
From an outsider's viewpoint, Daito-Ryu looks like "unfriendly aikido" to me.
Best to get some better information, though.

Are you talking about this Prof Hudson? http://www.profhudson.com/articles/bio.html
If so, he teaches Danzan Ryu Jujitsu, not Daito Ryu. I have taken seminars with this Prof Hudson and he is my sensei's sensei. He is very good. Take a look at his video trailers. (some of them, he gets long winded, but his demos are nice) Anyway, if this is the Prof Hudson you are asking about, I can give you more info.

Hello!
The Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu that I have been exposed to can be extremely soft and subtle with very economical footwork. In some ways the aiki can be so disrupting and kuzushi so immediately taken, that you are down, often without having felt anything!
With respect to jujutsu within Daito-ryu, it does seem to be quite severe!Last edited by Erik Johnstone; 11-09-2007 at 09:20.

It contains both standing and ground work. When you start you will see mostly standup for quite a while. (this varies by instructor) It is comprehensive, but you will start by learning locks and throws. Later, ground work, chokes, punches, kicks and a few weapons will be added. I consider it all facets and ranges. But it starts out very focused. Originally Posted by sooner_sadiq

Not anywhere in the State that I know of. There used to be one here in Baton Rouge, but that was many, many years ago. Originally Posted by Steve1

I did a check online as well. Nothing listed on either the AJJF site or the Danzan Ryu site. Originally Posted by Steve1

Hey Robert; I'm going to check Jacks school out Tuesday, I've left several messages for him to call me and he hasn't as of yet returned my calls. The phone systems in New Orleans are still in a state of choas. However I do plan on studing Jujitsu under him. Its just hard getting ahold of him
I didn't think that there were any Danzan ryu schools in Louisiana, I was just curious.
