Hi All,
Today we had the fortune of starting the day at 05:30 to get up, have breakfast and head off to our training venue for the day at the Meikai University. On the coach we had a chance to see some of the city missed when taking the train. It amazed me how compact all the housing is compared to britain, space is a real premium over here and I can tell you they fill every square inch. However it wasnt just all buildings as the gaps were filled by some greenery in neat gardens.
The Meikai University campus was huge and very modern facilities. The main instructor here is Kamizuma Sensei, who will be looking after Joe Bale for the next three months. The student of this dojo we found as usual to be very friendly and shared some very funny moments during our training today of which started out on the playing field for our warmup.
The captain of the Dojo took us through a vigorous routine of some great warm up exercises of which we will bring back with us.....thought you might like that!!!!
We trained for three long hours which included working on pads, practicing punches, kicks and ending with a friendly competition. Japanese students taking on the rest of the world!
We ended the training with a photosession and a lunch in the campus canteen.
Day off tomorrow and first competition on Saturday!
