(中村 天心）

All the other students stopped to learn Tenshinryu due to severe training by Ishii. Only he endured it, mastered Tenshinryu, and succeeded to 9th Shike.

After that, according to Ishii’s desire, he opened school “Hyoho Juku (兵法塾)” at home and started teaching Tenshinryu.
And according to Ishii’s teachings, he did street performance around the country as “Mushashugyo (武者修行, Knight-errantry)”.
He met and interacted with successors of martial arts on the street performance trip and learned and trained.
However, his wife passed away so young unfortunately. After that, he decided to dedicate his time to his three children and therefore, taught Tenshinryu only his relatives and his acquaintance.
After his retirement, he allowed people to learn Tenshinryu. On 11th February 2012, his student, Kuwami Masakumo (鍬海政雲) succeeded to 10th Shike. He still continues to check Kuwami’s guidance and teach Tenshinryu together.
“Tenshin (天心)” of Nakamura Tenshin (中村天心) is the “Bugo (武号, nickname for matial arts)” given by Ishii.
