He was also known as “Genkotsu Osho (monk with an iron fist )” because of his many anecdotes, including a fight with Isamu Kondo of the Shinsengumi ( commander of the Edo Shogunate Guard ) during his travels around Japan. As the founder of Fusenryu jyujyutsu ( classical Japanese martial art ), he taught many students.
