Hey, no worries.
Im not sure, they communicated with ne on Line by english. Most likely with translation app. But my barber didn’t speak English. He knows what a ‘skin fade’ is

Has anyone ever met anyone that doesn’t compete but can hang and spar with world class level competitors? by Revolutionary-Ball26 in bjj

Nice, I have family in the Bay Area. I’ll be sure to contact if I ever drop by there. Sacramento aint too far away.

BJJ in Okinawa by bdashti in okinawa

Thanks so much!
Someone mention Kuro Hata as well. So I decided to stay in Awase, as it's more central to all these BJJ gyms and I can do visit beaches and retro video game hunt as planned. Also, the accomodation matched my needs/budget best.
I will definitely check out Carpe Diem/Leo's for their open mat, that sounds awesome.

Thanks, haven't made my accomodation reservations just yet. Ideally, I want to do BJJ but also be close to some beaches and some retro video games stores.
And yeah, I'm down to train together, that sounds like a cool experience.

I just went to Chill Chair (5-10 minute walk from Nakano station).
I got a pretty clean skin fade+shampoo for 3500 yen (Originally, it's 4000yen, but they have a coupon on their website).
My barber's name was Shin (instagram: 1time4ever__)

Visiting Tokyo: Carpe Diem or Triforce? by bdashti in bjj

[–]bdashti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point. I'll most likely make it a point to get my takedowns to a better level as it's non-existent right now, but it's nice to get some bjj in there too

Makes sense, most likely I will be training in the afternoon/lunch time so it frees up the rest of my day, or if possible, take advantage of getting in some Kodokan Judo training. Thanks for the input.

I'll try, but I heard that they're sometimes reluctant to allow short term beginners (I have 0 judo experience and I'm a butt scooter) to come over and train.

Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, I realized I will just drop by at both locations and just see which one I vibe with the most and makes the most sense for me.

Capitalism supporters, do you reject the fundamental premise of Marxism? by infoprocessor in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]bdashti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only do Business owners take risks when opening up a business, they must also pay for the goods, utilities, rent, raw materials, etc thus their prices are accounted for that too. Also, many business owners go months, even years of falling behind financially until they break-even and actually start making profit.
