List of Danzan-ryū techniques
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Danzan Ryu lists[1] differs in concept from the Kodokan Judo lists in that the techniques are taught in kata form in some applicable context, rather than simply demonstrating and enumerating a single technique. Deashi Hayanata, for example, is not a single technique, but a combination of Deashibarai (foot sweep) and Ude Hishigi Juji Gatame (cross arm bar). Emphasis on randori may vary greatly from one dojo to the next.
There are multiple romanizations, and many arts have more than one name. We will attempt to represent all possible romanizations. In addition, not all sources agree on the correct kanji (Japanese characters) for each technique or list. The alternative renderings are noted.
The rank requirements for Danzan Ryu are not standardized, and may vary from dojo to dojo or even from instructor to instructor. However, the curriculum is divided into three levels: Shoden (beginning), Chuden (intermediate), and Okuden (Hidden or Inner teachings). Many of the techniques are considered Kuden - to be transmitted orally and never written down.
Each of the Okuden scrolls corresponds to a level of teaching license:
- Shinnin-no-Maki was commemorated by the award of the Mokuroku, or catalogue scroll, listing the history of the art along with the Shoden and Chuden techniques. This is the basic instructor level and is equivalent to second-degree blackbelt.
- Shin'yo-no-Maki corresponds to the fully-licensed instructor (Kyoshi) level and is equivalent to fourth- or fifth-degree blackbelt.
- Shinjin-no-Maki was commemorated by the award of the Kaiden-no-Sho, or certificate of complete transmission (menkyo kaiden). This corresponds to the master instructor (Shihan) level, equivalent to a rank of sixth-degree or higher.

[edit] Curriculum Order
The Yawara list is almost always taught as the first list in a curriculum, given its overall usefullness. It is sometimes integrated with basic rolling and falling, and often with the simplest arts of the Nagete list. Following this comes the rest of Nagete, Shimete, Goshinjutsu (Jokyu Yawara) and Oku-no-Te, by the time a student is roughly brown belt. The Kiai no Maki Techniques are generally taught before a Shodan exam, in addition to some or all of Shinnin-no-Maki. Shin'yo-no-Maki and Shinjin-no-Maki are introduced after the black belt has been attained, in most schools. Seifukujutsu, Kappo, meditation techniques, Randori, massage, first aid, and nerve strikes may also be integrated into the curriculum, depending on the instructor.
