Sato Shizuya, born 1929 in Tokyo, Japan, began his lifetime study of traditional Japanese martial arts during middle school at age 12. Sato’s father learned judo while in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War I, and was a senior judo instructor for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. His father’s personal friends and judo compatriots included many preeminent pre-WWII Kodokan instructors, all of whom lent their personal guidance and lifelong support to Sato-sensei. Upon graduation from Meiji Gakuin University in 1948, he joined the International Section at the Kodokan.

1952 - 1956 the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command (SAC) established a program to send groups of airmen to the Kodokan to study judo, karatedo, aikido, and police techniques. This program was expanded through 1956, and by its end hundreds of U.S. Air Force martial arts instructors had trained under Sato-sensei, who instructed both aikido (under head aikido instructor Dr. Tomiki Kenji) and taihojutsu techniques (under taihojutsu head instructor and senior Tokyo Metropolitan Police taihojutsu/judo instructor Hosokawa Kusuo). Other notable instructors included such karatedo legends such as Funakoshi Gichin, Nakayama Masatoshi, Obata lsao, and Nishiyama Hidetaka.

In the early 1950’s, Sato-sensei began teaching judo and self-defense at U.S. military facilities around Tokyo. In 1957, Sato-sensei founded the U.S. Embassy Judo Club where he continued to develop and refine the techniques that ultimately evolved into Nihon Jujutsu.
