The KoDenKan Institute has been teaching DanZanRyu Jujitsu since 1976 making it one of the oldest martial arts schools in Northern California. Located on the Peninsula in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. We Also offer traditional Japanese massage and Ten Chi DO classes-a classical mixed martial arts (MMA) system that incorporates Karate, Teakwondo, Kung Fu, Escrima, Judo, Wrestling and other styles.

Our students include men, women, adults, teenagers, and children as well as students new to the martial arts and practitioners of other self-defense systems. Black Belt instructors oversee all Jujitsu, self-defense and Ten Chi Do classes for teenagers and adults. Separate classes for children, and SeifukuJitsu massage instruction.

We encourage you to visit, observe and/or participate in a martial arts class at our dojo. We welcome and encourage all questions regarding our style, or question on how to fine tune yours. Participation in your first DanZanRyu class is free - all we ask is that you come wearing comfortable clothing (I.e. sweat pants and a T-shirt). Our Dojo is conveniently located in Redwood City near Menlo Park, Atherton, Palo Alto, Woodside and San Carlos.
