Solid week of training! Fun classes with a tough group of guys! Though I had been planning to go to Tokyo next week for JBJJF All Japan I am unfortunately not going.  I have however booked my plane ticket to go to IBJJF Asian Open in September. I have been wanting to compete in that competition for a long time so I am really looking forward to it!

今週、練習は良かった！強い人たちとともにクラスは楽しかった。全日本ために東京へ行くつもりだったけど、行かないことになりました！しかし９月のアジアオッペンために飛行機が予約した。アジアオッペンは長い間やってみていましたので本当に楽しみです！

土曜日、クラスは多かった。このぐらいが来てくれると、うれしいな！

 今週も練習は良かった！皆さんはよく練習した、そして強いです。まだちょっと少ないのに、いつもこのハード練習をするので幸せです。皆、上手になって奨励してくれてありがとう！

Congratulations to Koushirou on getting his blue belt after a awesome double gold performance at last weeks competition!
コウシロウ、青帯昇格おめでとうございます！先週、ダブルゴールドはすごかった！

6/12-6/18

Had a tough week of training was feeling really bad and not much energy but was still able to make it through training. Sometimes the days you don't feel like training are the most valuable. Even if you don't feel it right away. It is a good test and you can learn something from it! Jiu-Jitsu is something that is always there to help you improve your life and it will be a part of my life forever! I feel truly lucky to have the support of an amazing community of people that is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!
今週の練習は、私にとって本当にきつかった。調子は悪くて元気がなかった、しかし練習行って生き残りました。時々、行きたくない日は自分を自分を試すいい機会だ。柔術はいつもそこにあるそして、いつも力づけてくれる。ブラジリアン柔術は僕の永遠ともです。ブラジリアン柔術のコミュニティにいる自分は本当に幸運です。

Shiota-san and Nakayama-san battling it out! Congratulations to both of them on their belt promotions last week! Both have been training super hard and have made huge improvements in the last year!

塩田さんと中山さんはバトルする。二人の紫帯昇格おめでとうございます。二人とも技がうまくなてきてきます。

6/5-6/11

Great week of training as usual! Been getting really hot and afternoon trainings have been tough but everyone has been training hard! Next week Ill go to Northern Kyushu to support a few guys from Kagoshima competing at the Copa Paraestra should be a fun event!

今週の練習はいつものようによかったです。最近、暑くなったので昼の練習はすごくきついでした！でも皆んな真剣に練習した。来週、北九州のコパパラステラの試合行きます！僕はセコンドですけど楽しみです！

Kagoshima's Jiu-Jitsu scene has yet to really take off but everyone is always training hard and having a good time doing it. It will only be a matter of time before Kagoshima is representing the best of what Japan can offer!

他の武道に比べて、鹿児島の柔術はまだ人気ではないですが、でもいつも皆真剣に練習し、幸せです！鹿児島が日本一強くなります！

5/29-6/4

Only a few days of training this week but we had solid practices. Worlds going on right now in California and I wish I could be there.  I'll try my best to qualify and make it there next year! Gonna be trying to bring the pace of training up in the next couple weeks to prepare for All Japan at the end of July!  

今週れ、練習は少なかったけど、いつものようによかった。今はカリフォルニアで世界大会があります！いけなかったので、ちょっと残念です！今から、来年の大会の資格に頑張っています！そして、７月全日本があるので今後数週間はペースアップ！

Starting to have some hot days! After practice Monday everyone cooled off with some ice cream!!
月曜日は暑かった。練習の後皆はアイスを食べた！きつい練習の後アイスは最高だった！
