Notable studentsHironori Ōtsuka (founder of Wado Ryu)

Tatsusaburo Nakayama was a school teacher and martial artist. He is best known for being the first sensei and primary jujutsu teacher of Hironori Otsuka, founder of Wado Ryu, a blended style of jujutsu and Okinawan Shuri- te karate, which would eventually become one of the four main styles of karate.

Early life

Nakayama was born in 1870, in Kuramochi near Akeno Village, Makabe District, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. He was the oldest son of Kenzaburo Nakayama.

On April 10, 1886, Nakayama entered Katsunosuke Matsuoka's Shindokan dojo and began learning the Jikishinkage-ryū kenjutsu and the Shindō Yōshin-ryū jujutsu Betsuden (short sword capture, large sword capture, atemi, katsuho, etc.) as basic techniques for swordsmanship. Matsuoka was the founder and soke of Shindō Yōshin-ryū jujutsu. Shindō Yōshin-ryū is believed to be the last Edo-period jujutsu school into which the Yōshin-ryū koryu (founded by Akiyama Shirōbei Yoshitoki in 1642) has been absorbed, and was a consolidation of the Totsuka-ha Yōshin-ryū and Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū jujutsu schools.

In 1888, at the age of 18, on the recommendation of Katsunosuke Matsuoka, who was expected to have such talent, Nakayama entered the gate of Yosaburo Hakomori, a master of Jikishinkage-ryu kenjutsu swordsmanship.

In March 1890, Nakayama received from Motokichi Inose (Matsuoka's successor and second soke over Shindō Yōshin-ryū) a Shoden Mokuroku license, training at the Matsuoka Akeno Dojo near Kuramochi. Two years later in March 1892 at the age of 22, he received his Chuden Mokuroku license.

In 1895, at the age of 25, the highest technical license in Shindō Yōshin-ryū jujutsu was awarded by Inose to Nakayama when he received the Joden Gokyu Menkyo

In 1898, Nakayama began training in the Ono-ha Ittō-ryū kenjutsu, under Sasaburo Takano.

1908 Tatsusaburo Nakayama (leftmost dark uniform) class at Genbukan dojo, with Hironori Otsuka (3rd row 4th from right)

In 1905, a dojo named the Genbukan, was built near the Shimotsuma Junior High School, and Hakomori was named kancho (lead administrator), and Hakomori requested Nakayama to be his dojocho technical instructor.

Shimotsuma Junior High School and the Dai Nippon Butoku Kan

Nakayama became employed as the physical education teacher at Shimotsuma Junior High School, teaching Judo and Gekken (kendo) classes.

In September 1906, Nakayama was awarded a special kendo Ittō-ryū Tokugyi Shosho certificate by Sasaburo Takano.

in Dec 1908, Nakayama was involved with the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai, in performing a jujustu and kenjustu demonstration, performing jujutsu with Inose. He also competed in this event in kenjutsu again Torajiro Watabiki and Toyokichi Otaki.

In 1913, The Butoku Kai awarded Nakayama with a Renshi license.

Later life

In May 1919, Nakayama entered the Matsuoka Honbu Shindokan dojo again studying Shindō Yōshin-ryū jujutsu under Inose in order to obtain a license as a bone-setter(osteopath). He was also awarded the rank of second dan in kendo. In September of the following year, he was awarded a "Jujutsu Practical Skills Certificate" and received an osteopathic license from the Ibaraki Prefectural Office.

On June 1, 1921, Nakayama awarded a Menkyo kaiden (certificate of complete mastery and license to teach) in 'Shindō Yōshin-ryū judo' (jujutsu and judo terms were used fairly interchangeably at this time) to Otsuka.

In 1923, the Butoku Kai awarded Nakayama with a 4th dan in kendo, and a Kendo Seirensho certificate, recognizing his dedication to kendo.

In 1932, Nakayama retired from Shimatsuma Junior High School, but continued teaching and bone-setting at the Genbukan Dojo.

Feb 17, 1939, Nakayama received his 5th dan in kendo from Butokukai president Senjuro Hayashi.

Death and Posthumous Memorials

March 2, 1945, Nakayama died, per confirmation by family descendent Tsuyuko Nakayama, in Shimotsuma City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Sometimes an erroneous death year of 1933 is listed.

In 1973, Nakayama's students from Shimotsuma School raised a monument in his memory near the Genbukan Dojo.

In 1974, another monument was raised in his memory in Kuramochi, his family home, by his kendo students.

Photographs

Anecdote

Three Year Kill

Nakayama was good at striking and kicking techniques, and when he was training under Katsunosuke Matsuoka, he got into a big fight with dozens of rough-tempered construction workers, but at that time he was able to perform various attacks while changing his strength. I tested myself experimentally and hit all of them.

After that, when they searched for each of them and confirmed whether they were alive or dead, the earliest they lived was 3 months, and the longest lived 13 and a half years. Hironori Otsuka that sannen-katsuri really existed because he averaged three years.

At this time, Nakayama used a fist with the second joint of his middle finger sticking out.

Nakayama advocated that it is effective to use the fist with the second joint of the middle finger sticking out to strike the vital point, and all the thrusts in Shindō Yōshin-ryū style were used.

This idea was inherited by Wado-ryu, which was founded by his disciple Hironori Otsuka, and in the 36 kihon kata of Wado-ryu jujutsu kenpo, no straight fist is used, and all thrusts are fists sticking out the second joint of the middle finger.

Roundhouse Kick

In the Meiji era, Nakayama used a roundhouse kick in which the opponent's ribs were kicked with the middle foot in a straight line at an angle of 45 degrees.

This kick was incorporated into the training system as the basic technique of Wado-ryu karate, the roundhouse kick.

Footnotes

  • The roundhouse kick is the third kick of the Shindō Yōshin-ryū Betsuden Kotozatsu, which Nakayama learned as a sword technique when he was studying swordsmanship under Katsunosuke Matsuoka, but the relevance is unknown.
  • The Additional Sources were supplied from the Japanese Misplaced Pages page but not footnoted in the English translated page. They are supplied here for thoroughness, and linked to references, when possible, even if Japanese and not English language, is the source.
