Virus on the BBS? ヴィルズが発生しているかな～？

So I get up here in the morning and check my website for any messages, and what do I come upon? A whole bunch of really nice comments on my website, with some funky ass titles! I guess that the virus that are now created to infiltrate systems are being polite. I am amazed at the fact that there are still people out in the world that actually bother themselves by sitting down and creating a computer virus, that can effectively destroy thousands of peoples computers. People loose valuable information daily because of these kind of things. I mean maybe in the corporate world, where data is time and money I could imagine why someone would get involved. But to target private computers, that contain no more than family pictures and cooking recipe's??? Where is the justice in that? I have twice lost all my photo's and cool stuff that I had on my computer, but was lucky enough that I found someone that could repair the damage, and retrieve all the lost data. Anyway, not long to go now, just another couple of days and we will know in which direction that I am moving. I am really exited about next year, and look forward to the things are to come.

ホームページのBBSに朝起きてチェックをしたら、何と礼儀正しいヴィルズ が発生していました。メッセージでは優しいほめ言葉があった上の怪しいタイトル？何の意味か分からないけど、本当に暇人はいるんだな～と思いました。それにして僕のなんでもないホームページにヴィルズを発生させて、何が奪えるようなことまったくないのに。。。それで商売している人がいるのは悲しいです、僕はヴィルズのせいで二回もパソコンのデータを失ったことがあるから。どれぐらいいやなことか分かる、一回目はパソコン自体がこわれてしまったのでかなりお金がかかりました、でもそれは何とかなるじゃない！失ったデータは取り戻せるかの問題は一番大きいです。大切に保存した写真はなくなると本当に寂しいです。それよりも来年の方向性はなんとなく見えてきたもんで、近いうちにそういう話は皆さんに出来るのでもう少し待っててください。

December ! １２月 ！

December is always the hectic month of the year, I find myself feeling in a funny mood. There are birthday's and end of the year party's to attend, people tend to get in that X-mas mood. Everybody loves the light decorations that are all over the city, and then there are the presents that you have to get for your family and friends. It is the time of the year where you get to think a bit more about the people that are close to you. In Japan everybody sends presents to each other in good faith that next year might be as this one. If you have a lot of business friends then that is a lot of money, I prefer to go out and actually meet the people that are most important to me and then hand them a small gift. This year I happened to find some Danish cookies, so I plan to get around and hand them out. But more than all this empty talk, I have been busy training! Two of my fighters Ryo Pettas and Koichi Pettas are fighting next week, so we have been training hard for that. It is after all the last fight of the year and we would like to win, so we can proudly say that we did what we planned to. I myself have getting into the shape of my life, I look great and feel great. I have been eating really good this last couple of months, and I am actually amazed at how it feels and effects your body, by just adjusting the things you eat! Of course there is something that I have been getting ready to do myself, so I have been taking my training pretty serious as well. I hope that soon I will be able to actually tell you about my plans, but let's hang on to that thought a little longer. Last week we had the end of the year party for my team and some of the loyal students that have followed me for the last 5 years, it was really good to see that at times like this we can all still get together and have a good time. We went to a Yakinikku ( Korean BBQ) and everybody pigged out, I had a sore stomach from eating too much, but it was all worth it! Good times with great friends nothing is better than that.

１２月になりました、もう今年は後わずかって言うところまで来ています。今年は良かったか悪かったかは何よりもやっぱり１２月には入ってから考えるようになる時期です。個人的に今年は良かったと思います、いろんな活動をして家族とたっぷり遊べる時間があったのでいい一年間でした。今年でお世話になった人たくさんいますし、何とみんなに来年もよろしくお願いしますを伝えたいです。最近BBSで”おお～ィニコラス！最近何しているの？”っていう質問がありまして、そうだあの秋田の話から日記をアップしていなかったです。自分はただひたずら練習をしていた、来週Ryo とKoichi　Pettasの試合があるんでスパーリングを毎日やっていた。体は毎日動かしていた理由はもう一つあるんですがいまはまでその話は出来ないです、ま！来週にもしかして？それよりも、この前チームと昔からの生徒さんたちと忘年会をやりました。これはまた気持ちよかったです、うまい肉を食べながらすばらしい友人たちと時間をすごすのは最高でした。来年もよろしくね！昨日は天気すごい良かったからHarley を出してジムに行ったね、これはまた良かったです。X-masの時期になると町のライトアップはやはり素敵です、家族でこれからイルミネーションめぐりに行こうと思うけど。昨年までやっていた原宿のライトアップは見れないとはいえ、かなりX-mas モードになっていますのできれいです。クレープを食べながら原宿で買い物は楽しいです、そこでまた選らないものを買ってしまう自分は何だか分からない けどたのしい。

ぺタス兄弟In秋田！

RYO PETTAS K.O. win in Akita ! K.O. 勝利 in秋田

Just got back from Akita, wｈich is a good 600km drive from Tokyo, and glad to tell you all that Ryo Pettas won his fight by a spectacular knock out. He was up against a more experienced fighter, but nothing was going to stop him yesterday. He had trained hard for the fight and was ready for a war. It was all over almost before it had started, the first round went according to plan and he was showing good motivation. Landing his punches but also taking a few hits, the fight was well matched. Until suddenly out of no where Ryo did a rolling kick and hit the opponent right in the face. One clean shot and it was all over, they had to carry out the guy because he couldn't stand up on his own. What a Knock Out! Well, done. I am going to try and find some pictures somewhere from the show, that I can post later. I was there not just to be the second but I also had a sparring exibition matchup with Nitta, it was really funny to actually have to face him in the ring. I have trained him so much and helped him out so much in his fights in the K-1 and all the other places he has fought, but to actually get to face him was just too weird. Although it is not a real fight, you can't help yourself wondering, what if...all in all it was a good day, I ended up driving 1200km over 2 days. I must admidt that I am glad that he won or all that driving would have been a paid in the a...! :)

昨日夜中１時に家に着いたんです、土曜日から秋田まで車で行ってロッジに泊まって日曜日に試合がありました。初めて出させていただいた大会だったんですけど、秋田のちょう田舎でもキックは燃えていました。自分は新田選手と２ラウンドのエキシビションマッチをやりました、これはまた面白かったです。今までの僕と新田さんの付き合いを振り替えてみると、あれだけスパーリングをやってきたとは言え、あれだけセコンドはやってきたとは言え、昨日はただのエキシビションとは言え。。。彼のリングインを見た瞬間、”ううわああ、新田選手だ～！”って感じしました。非常にいい経験は出来ました、ありがとうございました。お客さんも喜んでくれました、大技をバンバン出して、お互いにミドルキックを蹴り合った時も盛り上がりました！個人的にかなり楽しんでいました、これからも応援をしたいです。個人の話よりも、Ryo　Pettas はすごいいい試合をしました、１ラウンドで全部終わりましたが、本当にいいカードでした。相手は身長大きかったけどRyoはスピードがありました、上手い具合にお互いの組み手は取れました。ラスト１０秒で回転どうまわし蹴りを出して、いきなりノックアウト！すばらしいかった、この若いRyoは本当にどこまで強くなるのは楽しみです。頑張れよ！RYO PETTASみんな応援しているから！今回Dragon Gym代表佐藤さんにも大変お世話になりました、ありがとうございました。これからもよろしくお願いします！

Macau Xplosion !

I just spent the weekend in Macau, Peter Graham was fighting on the Macau Xplosion show. It was my second time to visit the gamble Island and I must admidt that because of all the gambling going on there, things move fast. I mean really fast! I was there just 2 years ago and it wasn't anything like what it is today. It was a pleasure to see that that the actual town is still keeping up and at the same time it is all the same. I mean you can meet the local people and have some great time trying to bargain your way to a better price, and then you can go around the corner and get a nice Mocha Frappacino at the local Starbucks! The air is bad, too many cars and bikes that are being brought in from Japan, and most of then would not be allowed on the street in Japan. So this causes a lot of pollution in the air and you feel it in your lungs even after just a few days. I whish they could do something about that, I mean after watching Mr. Al Gore's " An Inconvinient Truth" you start to look at the world with different eyes. I seriously think that there is something going on over there that needs a better look at. I was very impressed by the Hong Kong side, it is nothing like you expect it to be. Classy trains take you right into the center of the city, and the urban look that you have imprinted on your mind from "Enter the Dragon" is totally gone. Now to be replaced with the modern look of a city on the rise, in my mind almost a blend of what Rumania looked liked 10 years ago and Tokyo today! Oh, I almost forgot, the fights...Peter won in the second round on K.O. dropped the guy with lowkicks 3 times and then it was all over. Good warmup for the real deal this weekend, in Aukland where he is fighting Doug Vinnie. I was scheduled to go over there for that one too, but as life has it I have to work here in Japan! Bummer, but my work with him is done, all he has to do now is execute the plan. In the main event we say Clifton Brown try to snatch the title away from Nathan Corbett. But Nathan was just too fast for him, dropped him in the second round with a punch and that was all she wrote. That was his first time to actually defend his WBC world Muay Thai title in the cruiser weight class -86kg's Well done Mate, hope to see you soon again.

マカオに行ってきました、ピーターグラハムはXplosionMacauで試合をすることになっていたので、セコンドとして行かせてもらいました。マカオは今回二回目だった、前回は２年前だった。そのときと今回は大きく町は変わっていました、カジノはふえている、ふえればふえるほど町にお金が入る。お金が入ればどんどん良くなっていく、現在カジノの数は３５店ぐらいですが２００８か２０１０年までは６５店まで増やす予定です。今回とまっていたカジノの目の前は新しく作るメガーシティーって言うカジノを立て始まっている、それは何と世界一番大きいカジノになる予定です。部屋の数は３０００を超えるらしい！本当のメガです。しかし、空気は汚い、息は辛い。鼻とのどはかれる、のどはすぐに痛くなった。あまり外で歩かないほうがいいような気がした、しかしセンターには普通の町はあります。普通に買い物が出来るのでそのギャップは面白かったです。ちょっとした裏道に入れば別な世界は待っているので、そこは英語は使えないけど金では何とかなる。また、ほとんどどの店に行っても値段を高く言っているので値下げをお願いすれば、下げてくれるんだ。何も買う気がなくっても下げてくれるのも面白いです。まーあの町は５年したら全然違うと思いますが、まだまだ今は可愛い街って感じです。そうだ！大会の話。。。ピーターはもちろんK.O.勝ち、２ラウンドでローキック３回ゆうき選手をたおしまして。K.O.でした、思うような試合はこびかたじゃなかったため、いろいろと反省点があったから今週のK-1に向けてちょうどいい経験は出来たんじゃないかと思います。メインではネーザン　コーベット選手のWBCぼうえいせん、これも２ラウンドでK.O.勝ち、何といってもネーザンはかっこいいです。早く日本での試合は見たいです。
