Davis Ju-do Kai

The Davis Ju-do Kai at 1123 Olive Drive

Davis Ju-do Kai, a member of the American Judo & Jujitsu Federation (AJJF), has been in Davis since 1964 and is an active sponsor and participant within the community. Sensei Randy Schuster headed the school from 1993 to May 13, 2006. It is now headed by Lyle Najita. The dojo has a cozy 500 square feet of work-out area, which we are working to make more body friendly.

Danzan Ryu Jujitsu

Danzan Ryu Jujitsu was founded in the 1920s by Henry Seishiro Okazaki. He named his style of jujitsu Danzan Ryu, or Cedar Mountain Style in reference to the Hawaiian Islands. Master Okazaki combined techniques from a variety of martial arts to make up this style of jujitsu. He named his school, Kodenkan or School of the Ancient Tradition, in reference to the practice of having more senior students teach more junior students.

Our Philosophy

To provide a welcoming environment where anyone can come to be safe, have fun and learn cool stuff. We are committed to the idea that everyone who comes in our doors is treated like Ohana, family. We also try our best to do Kokua, help given without any thought of return.

Our Typical Class

We start with an invigorating warm-up and stretch routine. We do some strength and conditioning exercises. This is followed by rolls and falls. Then we start in on the techniques of the system. Master Okazaki passed a wonderful system which builds from techniques similar to many of the techniques of aiki-jujitsu. Then to throws, followed by pins, chokes and limb locks. These are followed by combination techniques.
