Jaya R. Carl, B.S., A.C.M.T.

Jaya R. Carl Sensei Carl started Danzan-Ryu Jujitsu in 1986 with Matt and Nancy Bigham. He received his Shodan in 1990, Nidan in 1994 and Sandan in 1997 from the American Judo & Jujitsu Federation (AJJF). He is currently continuing his studies under Professor Robert Hudson, Shichidan.

The Shanti Jujitsu Dojo in San Jose California was established by Jaya in February 2000. An aspiration of incorporating Jujitsu, yoga, massage, community and lifestyle crystallized when a dear friend found the building for the dojo.

Jaya was awarded a Kaidensho with the title of Renshi, 2003. This is a full license to teach, stating he has mastered Danzan Ryu and authorizing him to teach the entire system of Danzan Ryu.

In 1997 he was elected to the AJJF Board of Managers to serve as the Manger of Communications. He was an active member of the American Judo & Jujitsu Federation from 1987 to 2008.

From his very first Jujitsu class in 1986 the Restoration Therapy techniques have been an important part of Jaya's practice. In 1991 he received his Massage Technician certificate then his Massage Practitioner certificate in 1999. He received a certificate in Seifukujitsu/Restoration Therapy from Profs. Tony Janovich and Sig Kufferath in 1997. Currently Jaya is studying advanced Seifukujitsu techniques with Prof. Janovich at the Kodenkan Jujitsu & Restoration Therapy School of Santa Clara California and with the Seifukujitsu Institute of Southern California under Prof. Robert Hudson.

Jaya's Jujitsu is grounded in a many years of yoga practice. He completed the Yoga Teachers Training with Swami Vishnu Devananda of the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers International in 1973. For five years Jaya lived and worked in the Sivananda Yoga Centers and Retreats where he taught hatha yoga, meditation and vedanta philosophy. His background in hatha yoga, pranayama and Seifukujitsu lead to the incorporation of Qigong and Exercises For Health into the dojo curriculum (1997) at Kodai No Bushido.

To balance the martial arts in 1995 Jaya started to study Ikebana with Riji Kika Shibata. He currently holds the rank of Ikkyu from the Sogetsu School.

Jerry Edwards, CRTT

Jerry Edwards is an avid martial arts practitioner that focuses on continuous training and development. He has studied Tai Chi, Chi Kung, and holds a black belt in traditional Shaolin Kung Fu. Jerry is a current student of Genbukan Ninpo and Kokusai Jujutsu at the Kamiyo Dojo under Sensei Brian Young. It was at the Kamiyo Dojo, which is located in the Shanti Jujitsu Center that Jerry came into contact with Jaya Carl who introduced him to Seifukijutsu Restoration Therapy.

As a recipient of the therapy, Jerry noticed that his posture inconsistencies began to improve and that his training aches and pains were dissipating. The balance of combining Seifukijutsu Restoration with his martial arts training was undeniable. Jerry became Certified Restoration Therapy Technician (CRTT) in March 2005. His training was conducted through the Makoto Kai Healing Arts Dojo which is administered by Sensei Cynthia Frueh and continues to train with Sensei Carl.
