ドゥマウ全日本

Went up to Saga yesterday for the Dumau All Japan Gi and No-Gi competition. Was long but a really good day of competing and Jiu-Jitsu. I took home gold in the no-gi weight and absolute and gold in gi weight but lost the final of the gi absolute. Always room for improvement. Nakayama Ippei took home double gold in both weight and absolute of the gi purple belt gi division and put on as usual a great performance. Congratulations to him and to all other competitors from Kagoshima.
昨日、ドゥマウ全日本のために佐賀県行
きました。長い一日でしたがよっかったです。僕はノーギ階級と無差別も優勝しました。ギの試合で階級優勝しましたが無差別級の決勝一本で負けました。なかなかうまく行ったけど今度もっと頑張ります。アダルトの紫帯で中山一平がダブルゴールドを取りました!いつも最後まで頑張るので見るも楽しかったです!中山さんおめでとうございます!そして出た鹿児島たちおつかれさまでした!。

8/13-8/19

Last week of training before Dumau All Japan. Looks like its gonna be on the smaller side but we are bringing a good group from Kagoshima. Everyone is feeling strong and I'm sure will do well. Then right around the corner is the Asian Open. Going to keep the training pretty high intensity until then. Lets go out there and get some gold!
今週はヅゥマウの全日本前最後の練習です。ちょっと少ないみたいですが鹿児島から結構出ます。最近皆さん調子がよくて強いので優勝いけると思います。それからアジアがすぐ後のでそこへまで練習がハイペース続きます。一緒にがんばって金を取りにいきましょう!

8/6-8/12

Another good week of training down here in Kagoshima. There are about 2 weeks until Dumau's All Japan and about a month until IBJJF's Asian Open. Time to make the final push and make sure to enter those competitions at peak performance. This months classes will all be focused on those competitions so the menu will be a little different and mostly hard sparring. At this point staying healthy and injury free is the most important thing make sure to train hard but safe! Diet should also be a high priority at this point making sure you have plenty of time to cut any weight that you need to. Lets train hard and bring back some more gold to Kagoshima. Oss!

今週も鹿児島へ練習はよかったです!2週間後にドゥマウの全日本があって、そして1ヶ月後にIBJJFのアジアオッペンがあります。これから健康面を考えて、怪我をしないようにが一番大事です。今月のメニュはほとんどハードスパーになっています。これから健康を面度して怪我をしないよう荷が一番大事です。減量も考えないといけないです。練習と試合もがんばって、金を取って帰りましょう!

7/2-7/8

Another great week of training. Been very hot so everyone please remember to drink a lot of water! More than you think! On days you are training you should be drinking around 4 to 6 liters. Hydration is very very important to your health and will keep you on the mats feeling stronger even in summer. Many people are dieting right now for upcoming competitions but you should NOT be restricting your water intake!! This will lead to poor performance and will affect your health. Water should only be a consideration for weight control in the last 24-48 hours before a weigh-in. Lets train hard and stay healthy!!!
今週の練習も最高!最近はすごく暑かったので皆さんたくさん水を飲んでください!思ってるよりぐらい!練習する日、6-8リトルを飲むべきです!水を飲むほとは本当に大事です!ちゃんとしたら夏なのにたくさん練習ができます!今のところ試合のために減量中人が多いですが水を制限するは本当によくないです!それをしたらパフォーマンスや健康がダメになっていくそうです!水は最後のところだけ考えたほうがいいです!最後の24-48時間だけです!皆さん健康を守るまま一生懸命練習をやりましょう!!

6/25-7/1

Well summer is finally here. The days are hot and humid making for some very tough training but with goals like the All Japan in August and the Asian Open in September its no time to take it easy. I am hope we can bring a good group up from Kagoshima for the Asian Open right now its just me and Thomas registered. If other people are interested but money is an issue talk to me maybe we can split hotels or find a way to save some money on the trip. Everyone should be looking at that competition as a goal. Its the best chance to see what the real international competition is like. I want to keep the Saturday morning open mats going as long as the Budokan is available to use. Lets keep pushing to bring Kagoshima's Jiu-Jitsu to the next level!!!
さあ、夏がやっときた。毎日、どんどん暑くなるので練習もきつくなりましたでも減っていくときではない。8月の全日本と9月アジアオーペンが目標なので温度が上がる共にペースアップしていきます!今年、鹿児島から選手が多いと希望です。今のところで僕とトマスだけです。もし、興味があるけどお金がきつい教えてください。何かができるかも、同じ部屋止まるとか。その試合はみんなの目標するべきです。そこで本当の世界レベルが見える。最近、土曜日のオーペンマットが良かったので武道館が空いている限り続きます。一緒に鹿児島の柔術のレベルを上がりましょう!!!

Kyushu Open

Kyushu Open just finished yesterday. Won my first fight in Open Weight by bow and arrow choke and my second by estima lock. I only had one student compete but he took home gold as well in both weight and absolute. Still trying to get stronger everyday. I know Kagoshima will get stronger and stronger as well someday we will reach the world stage!!

九州オープンが終わりました。無差別級で一回戦ボウアンドアーロで勝った、二回戦でエスティマロークで勝った。最近練習がちょっと減ってしまったのに、試合結果は良かったです!一人しかないんですが生徒も金メダルとった!!これからも強くなりたいです!!鹿児島たちはまだまだ行けると思う、世界レベルも行ける!!

Japanese Nationals

Just got back from the Japanese Nationals in Tokyo! Ended up taking 3rd place losing by referee's decision. Disappointing results but always trying to learn from any experience! Next up the Kyushu Open!!
今日、東京から帰りました。準決勝で審判のディシションで負けました。本当に残念ですがどんな経験があったでも勉強なります。次は九州オーペンです!!
