[January 11th]
I joined the IJF new rule seminar in Seattle provided by Sensei Brian Toth who is IJf international world tour referee as a demonstrator and I taught Reverse Seoi Nage basically.
Thank you for the this opportunity judonwyudanshakai, Sensei Brian, Sensei Calvin family who is organized this seminar and all of Pacific NW judo community.
Movie 2:Anyways it was so hard to throw for Yuko, because I have been train for ippon, I never practice throw for Yuko🤣
一か月前になりますが、IJFワールドツアーでも審判を務めていらっしゃるブライアントス先生のIJF新ルールセミナーでデモンストレーターを担当しました。再び解禁となった韓国背負いの基本も解説。質問も飛び交い時に笑いありの大変有意義な時間になりました！

[English below]
2024年も残すところ1日となりました。皆さま本年も大変お世話になりました。
私は、9月から筑波大学のサバティカル制度とJOCの海外指導者研修制度を利用して調査と指導を学ぶべく、アメリカのワシントン州に滞在しています。滞在期間は1年です。
このような素晴らしい機会は筑波大学、スペシャルオリンピックス日本、そして全日本柔道連盟の皆さまのご理解ご協力なくして実現しませんでした。心より感謝申し上げます。本当にありがとうございました。
アメリカでは、どの道場でも温かく迎えていただき充実した日々を送っています。とは言え、最初の1か月は文字通り“試練”でした。英語が話せないのに大勢が見ている前で技を教え、質問され、彼らに応えられていない自分が恥ずかしくて申し訳なくて、道場に行くのを躊躇してしまう時期もありました。
でもどんなに拙い英語でも、皆さんが自分の言葉に真剣に耳を傾けてくれているのを感じたし、僕の英語を嘲笑する人は誰ひとりおらず、本当に感謝しかありません。
残り約8か月、まだまだやりたい事がたくさんあります。アメリカの他の州や隣国カナダでも柔道教室をしたいと思っています。ご友人などいらっしゃいましたら、ご縁を繋げていただけましたら幸いです。
長いご挨拶になりましたが、皆さまよい年末年始をお過ごしください。
Thank you very much for your support in 2024.
I have been in Washington State, U.S. since this September to study research and teaching under the University of Tsukuba’s sabbatical program and the JOC’s overseas training program for a year.
This wonderful opportunity would not have been possible without the understanding and cooperation of the University of Tsukuba, Special Olympics Nippon, and the All Japan Judo Federation. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
In the U.S., I have been warmly welcomed at every dojo, and my days have been fulfilling. Even my English was not good but I felt that everyone was listening to me seriously, and no one laugh my poor English, and I am truly grateful.
With about 8 months left, I still have a lot to want to do. I would like to hold a judo clinic in other states in the U.S. and Canada. Let me know if you have any friends, I would be happy to contact with them.
I hope everyone has a good holiday season and a happy new year.

Taras nazar_petrovskiy is showing up and doing what I say. This is the intensity we’re bringing to Cuba. I don’t care if he loses first round- I know that he’s preparing correctly and not wasting the little time we have before he gets his passport stamped. We’re shooting for a medal, nothing less.

Come train with me. Or don’t, whatever.
We’re so proud of our judoka who participated in the Zenyu Fall Challenge yesterday!
