THE YUSHINKAN
Nakayama Hakudo was arguably the most influential martial artist in modern history.
Many instructors and students around the world claim to have some “connection” to him, having practiced some form or another of his Iaido. Yet, these same people (in Japan and abroad) know little more than his name. Only by looking at his humble origins, ambitions, accomplishments, and outlooks can we come closer to understanding the man and his styles.

The major architect of the development of Aikido in France and Europe
