DAIBUDO KODENKAN MATSUNO KENSHUKAI
The goal of Daibudo Kodenkan Matsuno Kenshukai is to promote Prof. Seishiro Okazaki’s primary objective of perfecting each student’s character. It is DKMK’s as well as Seishiro Okazaki’s belief that one’s character, when cultivated properly, would lead students to a harmonious life with family and society. Learning to overcome fear and developing self-confidence adds to one’s character and gives birth to respect for others.
DAIBUDO KODENKAN MATSUNO KENSHUKAI (DKMK) has a rich history with its beginnings firmly embedded in Japanese and Okinawan traditional martial arts culture. DKMK philosophy is based on the principles as set forth by Professor Seishiro Henry Okazaki, the founder of Danzan-ryu Jujitsu. DKMK, and its member school, the KODENKAN BUDOKAI, director and chief instructor, the late Barry Holck Sensei, was committed to the perpetuation of these principles: respect, gratitude, obligation, service, and self-discipline.
The KODENKAN BUDOKAI, situated within the Kodenkan Center martial arts school, continues the legacy of Barry Holck Sensei, imparting instruction in traditional Danzan-Ryu Judo/Jujitsu & Shorin-Ryu Karate. Through consistent practice, students not only acquire self-defense skills but also develop awareness, confidence, and self-protection strategies, thereby enhancing physical movement, flexibility, and strength in alignment with the teachings of Barry Holck Sensei.
The KODENKAN BUDOKAI offer classes in Japanese Jujitsu & Judo for ages 7 – 70+, and Okinawan Karate for ages 13 – 70+.
