Another great week of training! Hard training everyday this week and everyone is feeling tough! Glad to have great people to train with here in Kagoshima! Planning on going to Tokyo for All Japan in July so now is the time to train hard and bring my Jiu-Jitsu up! It would be great to bring more of the guys from Kagoshima if anyone is interested let me know! Next week will be light training because the Budokan and Arena are both unavailable.

今週も練習は良かった！毎日、ハードな練習をした！　皆さんは、強くて、すごくいい練習のパートナーで嬉しいです！　７月にオールジャパンのために東京へ行くつもりなので、今は練習頑張る！誰でも参加OK。もし、東京に行きたい人がいたらいつでも連絡ください！来週は武道館とアリーナも休みの日が多いので練習は少ないです。

Its really great to see enthusiasm for Jiu-Jitsu growing in Kagoshima! The level here is improving all the time!

鹿児島の人は益々、熱心になってきている！皆さんの技はだんだんうまくなります！

5/15-5/21

Back to training after Dumau. I always feel more motivated to train after a competition! Improve on mistakes that were made and be ready for the next one! I hope to be able to make it to a few competitions across Japan before the Asian Open in September. I hope we can bring a good group to Tokyo for the Asian Open and represent Kagoshima!!

試合が終わったでも、練習は続きます！試合の後、いつももっと頑張らないとと思う。間違いのところよく考えたり、フィジカルも準備したり！アジアオープンの前にいろいろな試合出たい！鹿児島の人々の多くが行くことを願っています！

 Classes were a little small this week but we still got our training in! As long as you can push yourself you can get good training regardless! 

今週、ちょっと少ないけど練習は良かった！自分を鼓舞する、いい練習できます！

Another good week of training this week!! I missed a few days to spend some time with my dad before he left but we got some tough training in! Unfortunately because of the the big earthquake that hit Northern Kyushu Thursday night the Kyushu Open has been postponed. Everyone was training hard for it.
