                  Tribute to Imi Okazaki-Mullins

                  Professor Louise “Imi” Okazaki-Mullins, youngest daughter of Professor Henry S. Okazaki, founder Kodenkan Jujitsu, began training at home with her two sisters, Betty Woman’slf and Myrtle Oberman. Their father taught them Jujitsu techniques and under his direction, they established a foundation of massage (heads, hands and feet) through many hours of practice with him as the patient. He entered his three daughters in a woman’s Jujitsu class instructed by Iwalani Tanaka and Jackie Wong. In the early sixties, the sisters were trained by Keiko Fukuda, the highest ranked female judoka in the Kodokan. Professor Mullins taught both Kodenkan and Kodokan techniques. She will leave a very large hole in the heart of martial arts and we will truly miss her. January 5, 2008 was a sad day for us still here on earth and a glorious day for those in heaven.
