As Redding's longest-standing martial arts academy, we follow the teachings of Professor Henry S. Okazaki, founder of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. Born in Japan in 1890, Okazaki immigrated to Hawaii, where he blended traditional Jujitsu, Judo, Kung Fu, Hawaiian Lua, Escrima, and Western boxing, while also pioneering restorative massage therapy. RJA carries on his legacy, uniting self-defense, healing arts, and ethical training to shape confident, respectful martial artists.
Rooted in timeless traditions and grounded in Redding's natural energy, we practice as a path to clarity, strength, and transformation — both on and off the mat.
