Just got to Japan after a long flight. I will be spending a little over a week at the Ajinomoto National Training Center with the National Team preparing for the 2011 World Championships and University Wrestlers preparing for Japan University Nationals. As for myself, I will be entering a No-Gi Grappling Tournament on Sunday August, 21 in Japan.
I didn't land in Narita until about 4pm so, after arriving to the NTC we got some food, and headed to the community bath. The community bath is an interesting experience, and I want to say it is something unique to Japan. It's like going to a heated indoor pool with everyone completely naked. Obviously the baths are split by gender, but you can't help but feel a little out of your element being naked in front of people you never met.
El, hope all is going well in Japan! Loved reading about how no matter what condition you're in, you're still out there doing what you can. I think this is very important, as life situations occur, you KEEP ON TRYING AND LEARNING NEW THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF.
