In Japan

Posted by Jesse Bricknell on August 19th, 2008

I’m in Japan at the moment for training and I’ll be spending a week at a coaches house whose name is Takaharu, then going to the Japanese National Training Centre. The temperature is really hot and humid which is diffult to adjust to after coming from the Australian winter. For the first couple of days I was sweating ridiculous amounts. I arrived on Wednesday 13th and rested for a day and then hit with Taka on Thursday for 2 hrs. The plane trip was roughly 7 hrs from Australia to Singapore and then another 7 hrs from Singapore to Japan.

On the Friday I trained with the members from Takaharu`s club from 1-8pm. We had about four 10 min breaks and one 40 min break. It was really hot that day and I went through 4 t-shirts and was cooking! I trained from 1-7pm then asked Taka to let me finish because I was exhausted.

The next day I had off and went to an Amusement park with Taka`s brother and his girlfriend. At the end of the day I was really tired and slept well.

Sunday I trained for 5 hrs with the club and today I went to a Japanese bathing house where we all get naked and enjoy the hot water at a communal bath. Afterwards I got a massage as I’ve heard it’s very good in Japan.

I will let you know how things are going in a few days.
