Seminar on Fighting strategy in relation to buisness

That was the theme for my seminar yesterday, getting business people to understand and relate the fighting mentality of a fighter, to the daily business and how to draw the connections from real fighting into the real world. It was a great success, as I used both visuals and discussion time and then of course I spent about 4 hours talking about fighting, preparation,mental state and so on. It was interesting to see how everyone came up with a bunch of questions after and during the seminar, I had a great time and I feel very confident that we can bring this out to more people. In December the biggest phone company in Japan has booked us and of course we are hoping to bounce that one of on more companies next year.

昨日は一日の研修をやりました、グロースリング社の仁科さんは午前中の部を戦略について分かりやすい説明とグループワークをやりました。午後の部はニコラスが空手の指導、自己紹介、スライドショーと実際試合映像を見ながら、格闘家のマインドや精神じょうたいについての説明をたくさんしました。自分は本当にいいセミナーにはなったんじゃないかと思いました。最後の振り替えと質問タイムには真剣に悩んでいる方からのフリートークは非常によかったと思いました。次回はNTT DOCOMOの社員に向けてやることが決まっているので、非常に楽しみです。出来たら来年は本格的に全国にこれで回りたいです。

Maruyama wins!

After the radio show yesterday afternoon, I hooked up with the boys out at Differ Ariake. R.I.S.E. was putting on a big show and Maruyama was entering the first round af a tournament strecthed over two events, to wina spot in the elimination tournament in K-Max next fall. And although I must say that this was probably the hardest fight in his carreer, he pulled off a great upper cut in the last 10sec. to drop the opponent and ended up winning on a decision. Next fight up is on the 22nd. November and that will be the final, so I hope he is not too banged up and gets back into the training as soon as possible. Well done, Maru!

昨日ラジオが終わった後、Differ有明に行きました。R.I.S.E.の７０キロ以下のトーナメントの一回戦に丸山選手がエントリーしていました。本当にすごい戦いになってしまったけど、最後の１０秒にアッパーがヒットしまして、結果は３０－２９で３－０の判定勝ちでした。本当にひやひやさせてくれましたが、最後は結果オーライで何よりも嬉しかったです。次回は１１月２２日です、それまでもっと強くなって、４人トーナメントで勝ってもらいたいです。昨日は本当にお疲れさまでした。

Sports festival !

It is sports festival season in japan, but it is also typhoon season
in Japan! So that means we might get hit by a storm and a sports
festival on the same day! Like this morning it was raining real hard
and they still just kept us all waiting outside in the rain. It kind
of cleared up but now those dark clouds that bring promise of rain are
hanging tight over our heads again.

朝起きたら、めっちゃいい天気でした。運動会が始まったとたんに雨振り
ました。。。そこから1時間をまたされました、何とか頑張って
やってたら晴れました。しかし、またあやしい雲があつまってきた。。。
これでまた雨だったら帰ります！
