- *Early Life and Training*: Nakayama entered Takushoku University in 1932 to study Chinese language and began learning karate under Gichin Funakoshi and his son Yosh*taka (Gigō).

"Karate throwing techniques are very different from Judo. In Karate, grabbing and throwing must be as fast as a kick or a punch, otherwise it is too late. All this requires a special technique." - Master Taiji Kase about throwing in karate.
