The American Judo and JuJitsu Federation (AJJF) traces its history from Master Okazaki. Several of his students came to the mainland in the late 1930s, established schools and began teaching the techniques of DZR. Four of Master Okazaki’s students, founders John Cahill, Bud Estes, Ray Law and Richard Rickerts wished to help fulfill Master Okazaki’s dream of having a DZR JuJitsu school in every state of the union. They founded the AJJF, which was incorporated as a nonprofit California corporation on May 21, 1958.
