This morning, I had the last riverside training before the wado-ryu National Championship with my son.
Like at the summer training camp, both of us were able to exercise and feel better while breathing clean air.

This morning, I had the last riverside training before the wado-ryu National Championship with my son.
Like at the summer training camp, both of us were able to exercise and feel better while breathing clean air.
The most memorable thing for me about the summer training camp I went to at Saitama Seibu Chichibu is the reaction when the children learned the kumite of Wado-ryu, not the competition Kumite.
The figure that they worked on while being surprised and enjoying it remains vivid in my heart.
I believe that the desire to share what I cherish with important people can be conveyed to the other person depending on my own efforts.
I want to keep holding.
It is the love for children, the desire to be involved in their growth, and the passion to master Wado-ryu.
It’s a summer training camp for 3 days and 2 nights from tomorrow.
Everything is ready, and I feel good to receive a new Do-Gi now ♪
I will do my best so that all 30 people, including me, can spend meaningful time in the summer camp training !
It’s this evening’s class from now ♪
I’m going to Seibu Chichibu in Saitama Prefecture with 30 people.
We will have a summer training camp for 3 days and 2 nights from the day after tomorrow.
Training menu, Preparation of the equipment, and physical and mental condition are also ready.
We are just going to get stronger and come back !
8月も有意義なトレーニングを続けています。先月半ばから来日している道流ブラジルのファブリシオ氏が、日曜日の朝のクラスに参加しました。
私は彼との会話や稽古を通じて、武道の重要性と価値そして可能性を共有することができました。
彼と出会えたことや貴重な機会を与えてくれた神と和道流に心から感謝しています。
I’m also continuing my good training in August. Mr. Fabricio from Wado-ryu Brazil, who has been in Japan since the middle of last month, participated in the Sunday morning class.
I was able to share the significance, value and possibility of Budo through conversation and practice with him.
I would like to thank God and Wado-ryu from the bottom of my heart for meeting him and giving me a valuable opportunity.
今日も気温が38度と高かったですが、綺麗な青空と川を眺め、気持ちの良い風が吹いてくれたので乗り切ることが出来ました。
2000〜2003年に生活していたアメリカ合衆国ユタ州ソルトレイクシティは涼しい印象を持たれるのですが、夏は気温がとても高くなり、しばしば40度以上の酷暑になる程、暑くなるのが特徴です。最初は乗っていた自転車のタイヤが道路の熱さで溶けてしまうほどの暑さに驚愕しましたが、「8月が過ぎれば涼しくなる。」と自分に言い聞かせる日々を送りました。3年半の生活で暑さに強くなったことを実感しており、今は厚手の道衣の上に着物を着て道場まで片道1時間の距離の日がありますが全く苦になっていません。
この暑い毎日も、あと1ヶ月過ぎれば終わりが来て、次の美しい季節が訪れるのが楽しみです。
残り約2週間となった夏の全国大会まで自分がすべきことをやり遂げて、気持ち良く秋を迎えたいと想っています。
