About Olympia Danzan Ryu Jujitsu School

At Olympia Danzan Ryu, we’re more than just a martial arts school—we’re a community where you can grow, learn, and discover the art of Jujitsu in a way that’s both fun and meaningful. Founded by Gary Yonkers, Shihan, our dojo is dedicated to exploring and expanding on the fundamentals of Jujutsu as passed down from its founder, Professor Seishiro Okazaki.

What makes us unique? Yonkers Sensei brings a deep understanding of massage therapy and anatomy to the mat, helping you unlock the secrets of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. It’s the little details that make this art so effective, and here, you’ll learn how to master them.

Our classes dive deep into the core techniques of Danzan Ryu like escapes, locks, throws, and pins. Giving you a solid foundation while helping you understand the bigger picture. You’ll gain insights not only into the techniques themselves but also into how they connect with your body and your personal journey.

But there’s more to Danzan Ryu than just physical training. We believe in a holistic approach to martial arts that nurtures your body, mind, and soul. Through restoration massage and conditioning, you’ll care for your body; through self-reflection, you’ll strengthen your mind; and through building connections with others, you’ll nourish your soul.
