Got a nice friend !

We had a wonderful class at this last weekend.
We hosted Nassi coming from Paraestra Joetsu seminar here in SSJJ.
Nobody can defend armpit punch pass-guard that Nassi taught us.

Dinner was at Mangetsu as our usual home.
And after party was a crazy night guided by krazy also same as usual.

Old days

Found an old clip that reminds me of my dear univ period. I used to fight there, Sacred place of Kosen judo.

Spark of obscurity

We had the good practice on the last weekend.
We always welcome you jumping on the mat.

Chuji vs Ryuma

Dor vs Ryuma

Chuji is still an obscure shoot-fighter, but he will be spotlighted in the future.
Chuji, take good care of us crazy elders even when you'll get success!

Having dinner at Mangetsu is always absolutely delicious !
The nights continued till 4am....

Coquet Show !

Take a lesson from the past. The wisdom of the ancients.

Japan as No.1 ?

The ultimate in Japanese technology is sold in TV shopping...
This robot can speak 20 phrases in Tokyo dialect, and more 20 phrases in Osaka dialect !

Good morning, Saigon

This last weekend, we visited Saigon JJ, Vietnam for the short trip.
There are so nice guys with well-designed comfortable facility.
I never seen such a beautiful Dojo in SEA.
How many times I got tapped out with being done leg locks, hahaha.






As I remember, we opened whisky x1, vodka x2, Crazy Lam x4-5.
I and Ryuma were defeated contrary to our intention...







Thank you, Kotani-san, Mat, Patrick, Steve, Iwata-san, Carl, Fukuchi-san & for all you guys at SJJ !

Theme of UWF

In spite of the clash in the town, pleaes relax with this.

New member !

sorry for late announce.

We welcomed the one new member Nan Lee san here ! (sorry for no photo)
He has an enough experience of grappling and striking.
He's gonna train grappling and Muay Thai as well with Ryuma san.

Waa-i

SSJJ in danger of extinction

Wanted ! : Training partners

We have very very few members who can keep training now.

Ryuma san is starting to say he's gonna do Muay Thai on his own in order to keep his cardio.

So now we have the resident member, Never Tap Asia 2010 Nogi champion here in Sriracha.

UA cawaii

I had grown up with this song in my childhood.
The translated version in Japanese is so meaningful.
It consists of 7 short stories about a joy and sorrow in a lifetime.

a short break

Taiwan trip made me brandnew.

Both two instructors Chris and Makoto san are awesome.
And members in Taiwan BJJ are also super nice and naughty guys .
I really admire their kindness and strong solidarity.
I hope we will see each other again at Asian Tournament in Japan !

gloomy again

I am tired of boredom. I need something NEW.
So I will leave for Taiwan for training during this holiday.
I hope this trip will be great.

Real Kamehame-ha !

Both Ki masters of Japan and China fought with no contact distance.
And Chinese master Ki splashed out !

I am so glad that I was born in Asia...

Two medalists !

Our Takei manager got the silver prize at the white/blue belt fes last Sunday.
And Sao Paulo Shige san got the bronze !



Relaxing at lunch before the comp.
Pls. note both two competitors didn't drink.



Victory party was Indian food.

in rehab

We had usual training on Sat. and had the morning class on Sun. last weekend.
We were rehabilitated !
For us drunkun people, it was well done we did training from 8:30am in the morning !

After evening class, we went to have a dinner as usual. But we didn't go anywhere after the dinner.
Just what we did was we had a bottle of whiskey at Ryuma san's room and watched BJJ DVDs and did some reviews drunkenly. We got well-improved !

Detox in the morning.

a daily life is back.

Our usual training is coming back on this Sat. from 7:00pm.

Members as of today:
Ryuma
Kocchi
Kuramochi
Tomi

And we are going to hold the victory party for Ryuma san's gold after the trainning.

Nyaa-hoho

It is our great pleasure to inform Ryuma san got the gold at Nevertap Asia Tournament 2010!



Mark and Ryuma san

To my disappointment I lost the 2nd match. How so frustrating !

JOY is the answer

photo from pain champ

I know it is late to shout.

Our not famous comic writer Taichi san just got the gold and silver medal as like in Kinniku-man tournament of the right of the next throne succession.


Yuki chan is pretty enough.

I am in love for a minute.

this title reminds me of the beginning of Chungking Express.

I have not slept for few days trying to watch all.

Getting ready for the next

SSJJ proudly announces some of our teammates are going to fight Never Tap Asia Tournament.
We are not a glib talker on the net, we are the real fighter on the mat.

On-line technique from Bangkok

Usually we don't have instructors. So our prof. Adam san can convey one of his brilliant and useful techniques. on the web. from Metro-BKK. This clip is worth watching.

Guide for Ryumania

Have a look and learn.

look back at 2009

Now I am getting down to preparing for the next tournament Never Tap Asia.
These two videos can be good reviews for some of my weak points. Even they are Gi matches though.
I wanna try how good my gi experience can hold in No-gi.
Anyway I will be going to Phuket to have fun !!

Our place

If you come from Sriracha ROBINSON on the way Sukhumvit Rd. to BKK, just pls. pass through the gas station SHELL and get off a car/cab/motorcye in fron of Dara Samut School. There is the Taekwondo gym alongside small Thai resutaurant & coffee shop, PICHA CAKE GARDEN.

pattaya

I noticed the important thing.

The aim of this blog is to let people living in Pattaya especially European & American guys know there is the BJJ club here and to call them into our training.
That's why I struggle with English in order to attract attention.
Well, very very few people are checking this blog yet...

But I realized I've never put the word Pattaya into any articles since I started this blog.
Uhmmm, Idiot !
No one googles "BJJ + Sriracha" usually ! We need Pattaya Pattaya Pattaya !

Great people in Pattaya ! You can play BJJ in Sriracha !!

a very very short relief

I had been watching a sea with a dog all day from morning until moonset.
I'd been thinking and thinking, and in the end I stopped thinking.
I expected something would be likely to happen. But nothing happened in my head.
I wish I'd had more few days.

SSJJ hosted the first pro-fighter ! not in Sriracha though...

The pro-shooting, Dream, K-1 fighter - Boku Koutetsu san (Krazy Bee) came to BKK. He is the Ryuma san friend when they trained together at KZ factory. After few days staying in BKK, Boku san left for Phuket for the MMA training for a month, and he will compete in the Never Tap Asia Tournament.

I play for the fun of it.

This is the one scene from Professional Jiu-Jitsu fight event, MATSURI that was held in Japan on 21st Feb.
Matsui san came to BKK and competed in FBT Thai open in the last year.
Once I trained with him after the comp., his moves inspired me with lots of ideas and changed/improved my way to roll.
And this clip reminds me that how fun and humble Jiu-Jitsu is.

grill on the beach

how many years i have not played a watermelon crush game...

meeting again

I went back to Japan and met some friends at RB academy.
They'll come back to compete in this Sep. tournament for sure.

as usual

gi sparring : 6-8 rounds
no-gi sparring 2-3 rounds

Member : Kocchi, Ryuma, Mori, Kuramoti, Tomi
Dinner : Darumaya
2nd Place : twy guys went out somewhere.

Next day, Ryuma chan still holds the Old Par in the car heading to BKK.

so it goes

A few months have passed since I got the purple belt. Recently I think just i afford to enjoy Jiu-jitsu. How long did it take to feel like this ? Including my Judo experience, it takes 14 years. I recon still my level is very low. When can i reach out for the very very purple belt ?

Someone says "go for on top", but still i am a sticker for a guard player. Sweep is my goal. No matter how big a opponent is or small i am. Thanks my senseis. I manage to be fun with bjj.

how could you get to know ?

In my case,I did switch numbers without thinking doubtly and was a cheeky boy could always get A-B grade. But now on the contrary I became so particular about little things. I don't know why i could be like that.

A reason comes later anyway, however i always try to know NOW. It's my bad habit. Even psychology, philosophy and mathematics as well, there is "a only way of thinking" that conforms to each field. That's why we can watch things from various angles and with various ways. That is interesting.
People can grasp meanings only through his mind. If our mind has a lot of drawers, we may be able to put a lot of things. I think.

training of comfort

I don't remember how many rounds we rolled. It should be more than 7-8 rounds with a very short break.




The dinner on that day was Mangetsu - Full moon. I admit it is one of the best japanese restaurants in Thailand.

Tne next day, we started beers with a breakfirst at the Cape Racha. There were 10 bottles or more as I remember.



And we had the lunch with a bottle of whiskey soon at our favorite place, Taiwan restaurant. Ryuma-chan drunk almost a full bottle by himself. We played a roll of Oath of the Peach Garden conducted by Ryuma-chan. He almost could become a philosopher. And in the end, he left for EMAC BKK for evening training.





Lastly, we had the dinner with teammates after training at Sakura, Thaniya. We opened two bottles of Syochu... Good days.

Did you make a good start ?

I went back to home during the new year holiday and trained at my old gym, Suita Jiu-Jitsu where I first started BJJ.
