This looks like the old woman's self defense course taught by Dan Zan Ryu instructors. Henry Okazaki developed this course in the 20s.
Nice video, thanks for posting............

Was there much Danzan ryu in New York City in the 40's?
Apparently Lou Leonard spent time in San Diego, so ignore previous comment.

A lot of those techniques are sprinkled around our various lists now, but most of them are located on the Goshin no Kata list and are still very close to what we still practice. I'm always interested to see how these things change. I've belonged to two DZR organizations now and both have closely shared lineages, but some of the techniques are very different.
