newb in japan

whats up everyone

im new to the forum.

Im digging the vids but the stuff is completely over my head. i thought i knew sumpin sumpin about jitz being an mma fan, but no.

any suggestions on some beginner vids on the WWW?

... or even better, anybody on here training in japan thats gaijin accessible?

Just start somewhere! It' incredible how much info is stored in the head in a short amount of time! Juggs vs Japan is a good documentary on training MMA and jitz in Japan. I haven't been myself, so that's the best advice I have, but there are probably a bunch of guys on here with good advice to give! So you're learning Japanese? I'm at a thousand Kanji using the Heisig method. I learn slowly but steadily. Reeeaal slow.. Haha.

I train in Tokyo at A-Square but I am not a regular member.

There are other is jitsu clubs in central Tokyo.
Triforce Aoyama or Axis (Rickson affil.)

I used to go to Shinjuku Sport Center where you can use the open mat space with a training partner. The entrance fee is very cheap.
