The American Judo and Jujitsu Federation (AJJF) is probably the largest of the Danzan-Ryu organizations. After four students of Professor Okazaki left Hawaii and settled on the mainland, they established schools and began teaching Jujutsu. These four, John Cahill, Bud Estes, Ray Law, and Richard Rickerts wished to help fulfill Master Okazaki's dream of having a Danzan-Ryu Jujutsu school, in every state of the union. They founded the AJJF, which was incorporated as a non-profit State of California corporation on May 21, 1958.
The current Senior Professor is Lamar Fisher and they have a WWW Homepage.
