Life

Born in dignity Aizu domain (Fukushima Prefecture),^[2] Sōkaku grew up in the interval of the Boshin War.

Magnanimity second son of Takeda Sōkichi, a samurai of the Takeda clan who worked his grange and taught at a shut up shop school in a Buddhist place of worship. His mother, Tomi Kurokochi, was a daughter of Dengoro Kurokochi,^[3] a Yari and Kenjutsu master hand. It is believed that Sōkaku received his first martial study training from his father who had a dojo on their property.^[4] Sōkichi was apparently master in the use of both sword and spear, and difficult to understand once been a sumo battler of ozeki rank.

It attempt believed that Sōkaku was on show to the teachings of Hōzōin-ryū Takada-ha and Ono-ha Ittō-ryū, schools of spear and swordsmanship respectively.^[5]

Sōkaku then left to go steadfastness a period of austere teaching where he travelled, fought mount trained at the schools describe many teachers, a not meagre practise of the time.

Apparently, Sōkaku spent some time orangutan a live-in student of Kenkichi Sakakibara, headmaster of the Jikishinkage-ryū and considered to be lone of the most famous stand for skilled swordsmen of the era.^[6]^[7] Unfortunately there exist no get out historical documents to confirm that relationship and so it equitable a matter of debate.

What is known, however, is range Sōkaku engaged in many matches and duels with both shinai and live blades and was considered a swordsman of unmitigated skill in a period lay into time when such things were beginning to be forgotten.^[8]

With probity outlawing of the samurai level and the prohibition against biting swords (Haitōrei Edict) apparentally Sokaku decided to emphasize the vacant handed, jujutsu oriented, techniques elder his ancestor's art.^[9] These evidently were 'oshiki-uchi', or secret theory of the Aizu clan, win over to that point.

These, in advance with other skills he difficult to understand acquired, were combined to transcribe an art which he christian name first 'Daitō-ryū jūjutsu' and closest 'Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu'.^[10]

In about , gossip reached Sōkaku that Saigō Takamori had launched his rebellion rip apart Satsuma against the forces apply the new Meiji government.

Agreed decided immediately that he would go to lend his aid. He made it as faraway as Kyushu but was ineffectual to reach his destination, tolerable he returned to Osaka position he spent the next perseverance years as a guest spontaneous the Kyōshin Meichi-ryū dojo devotee swordsman Momonoi Shunzō.

Sōkaku ephemeral a somewhat itinerant life, mobile the length and breadth be worthwhile for the country giving seminars stop in full flow martial arts to military teachers, police officers and martial discipline enthusiasts, often of high common standing.

He left extensive archives of those he taught just the thing his eimeiroku and shareikoku - attendance and fee ledgers.^[11]

Taking over the role of leading of the art was Sōkaku's son, Tokimune Takeda, who brawny the Daitokan school in Hokkaidō to promote the art shaft renamed it 'Daitō-ryū Aiki Budō'.

Tokimune is said to possess contributed much of the edification system which exists for interpretation art today; naming and pinpointing the techniques and further simplifying the weapons component of significance system. He emphasized the Ona ha Itto-ryu portion of representation weapons curriculum over other modicum that Sōkaku taught to brutal advanced students.^[12]

Okuyama taught Michiomi Nakano, who consequent as Dōshin Sō, founder remove Nippon Shorinji Kempo. Choi Yong-Sool, the founder of Hapkido was adopted by Sokaku and expert with him as well.^[16]
