very informative... My Sensei also trained under Master Okazaki. As a result, when I compare the videos of old masters with what I have been taught, I can sometimes notice hints of Masters Nakayama, Kanazawa and Okazaki, and feel fascinated by the styles and techniques of others. Thank you for making this excellent video about the life of Master Nakayama. It gave me a new perspective about my art. Strength and joy to you and yours✌🏼️👊🏼

Don't beat yourself up over it. The other systems you mention might be just as good. As the old Master from Jodo once said, "Don't think of training as with an empty cup, rather an expandable cup." Just keep adding, there is no wasted time in martial arts. JKA is heavy on the point scoring tournament variety of Karate. Something the late Funakoshi Sensei did not approve of....and put him at political odds with the late Nakayama Sensei.

I’ve read that in judo (where the belt system originated) there is no final (Dan) rank, but because tenth was the highest rank Jigoro Kano awarded prior to his passing, no one within the Kodokan would dare promote anyone above tenth. It was believed that to do so would mean that they knew more than Kano himself, so they kept it at ten degrees. During his lifetime the highest rank Gichin Funakoshi awarded was fifth dan. Some groups like the Shotokai and Tsutomu Oshima’s Shotokan Karate of America still adhere to that. The JKA on the other hand chose to promote themselves to ranks above what Funakoshi laid forth as the highest. Were they ever called out on this in the beginning?
@theshotokanchronicles 2 жыл бұрын
I am not sure. I can assume that there was some debate. The JKA seniors wanted to promote him. Master Funakoshi would not accept any higher. He was considered a contemporary of Kano so he should have been ranked 10th as well.

First sorry, I didn't see this message until today. Also I want to apologize for replying while I was half asleep in the middle of the night. You are correct, Nishiyama was a direct student of Funakoshi Gichin & Funakoshi Gigo, much like Okazaki. I believe the different sources I used for the video were going off the fact that Nakayama was the Chief Instructor of the JKA. Also Funakoshi really stopped teaching in his older age and the responsibility fell to Nakayama to direct the class with Funakoshi just sitting in a corner. My source for this is Master Teruyuki Okazaki. Okazaki said that he was in sessions run by Nakayama with Nishiyama, Yaguchi, Kanazawa, etc.

Hello; the pronunciation of Japanese is the same as the Spanish and similar to most Languages where letters sound like written; like "A" sound A not "ei" (like hey without H) so NAKAYAMA sound like that not Nikihyama as you are saying. I understand that you apologized about that; I am only trying to cooperate about it.

Nakayama was my Sensei’s instructor. However my Sensei broke away from JKA throwing his belt at the feet of Nakayama due to a very disgraceful act that Nakayama had done in Mexico City. Which I will not mention here. Unfortunately there is a lot of corruption in the political word of martial arts.
