DanZan Ryu Jujitsu (DZR) is an internationally recognized system of Hawaiian Jujitsu engaging the student in a lifetime of self discovery. DZR is effective on the streets and competitive in the gym, but foremost, it is a system of character development and completion that follows ethical principles. Students of DZR practice not only techniques, but the belief in Kokua (helping spirit) and Ohana (family spirit). At High Sierra Jujitsu the martial arts is for a lifetime and for everyone, old, young, athletic or physically challenged. High Sierra Jujitsu maintains a supply and demand philosophy where classes will be scheduled for the student's convenience if the interest and committment are real.
