The Danzan Ryu lists[1] differ 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.
This article will attempt to represent the commonly used romanization variants.
In addition, not all sources agree on the correct kanji (Japanese characters) for each technique or list.
However, the curriculum is divided into three levels: Shoden (初傳, beginning transmission), Chuden (中傳, intermediate transmission), and Okuden (奥傳, hidden or inner teachings).
Many of the techniques are considered Kuden – to be transmitted orally and never written down.
Mae Daki Nage Ichi – Front Embrace Throw #1.
Mae Daki Nage Ni – Front Embrace Throw #2.
Akushu Kote Tori – Handshake Forearm (curling) Technique.
Akushu Kotemaki Tori – Handshake Forearm-winding Technique.
Katate Tori Ichi – Single hand Technique #1.
Daki kubi Tori – Embrace head Technique.
Yubi Tori Hazushi – Digit (finger) Technique Escape.
Moro Yubi Tori – Many Digit (finger) Technique.
Shoto Tsukkomi Hazushi – Knife Thrusting Angle Escape.
The AJJF at one time included an additional (36th) technique (Sannin Hazushi), but no longer does so.
Restoration Therapy 52 Techniques and Long-Life Massage Taught as a separate tradition (betsuden) even to non-practitioners of Danzan Ryu.
The first seven techniques, consisting of escapes from simple grips, were once referred to as Te Hodoki (untying of hands), and were the first things taught to a prospective student.
While learning the Te Hodoki, the individual's character was observed and assessed, and the teacher would decide whether or not to accept him as a student.
The Kiai no Maki Techniques are generally taught as the student approaches the black belt level, in addition to some or all of Shinin-no-Maki.
Shin'yō-no-Maki and Shinjin-no-Maki are not introduced until 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 at varying levels, depending on the instructor.
