in Hamacho (Chuo Sports Center) yes, you can challenge anyone in best-of-3 games and if you win you stay at the table. This system is in place on Tuesday and Friday evenings in the big hall on B2 (NOT in B1). The level is quite good. Notably the best veteran players of Tokyo all go there. Pips...

also I mentioned it in other threads already, but there are always many OPEN tournaments going on every week (even on weekdays ) all around Tokyo. anyone can participate, even tourists. check this site nocha.jp there is also this site p4match.com which offers round-robin type tournaments with...

lol looks like Shin Yubin lost G1 to Zeng Jiang 0-11 but went on to win it 3-1

not several hours, 1 hour. better than some places where there is no system at all, people take tables for hours and you can't play at all. from my experience Wednesday and Thursday evenings are sometimes crowded when big groups are coming, weekend afternoons are also crowded, but WE evenings...

compared to other venues it’s a bit expensive 800 yens but it’s ok to use the facility all day with no time limit, Not just table tennis but the gym the swimming pool , Badminton etc… Fee comes down to 500 yens for locals ie people who live or work in Minatoku

On this table yes. There is more space downstairs but the ceiling is not high on both floors. Anyway one should learn to play close from the table. The good thing about table 1 where I played is that we could give a good show to passersby watching from the street

She got her power from CHUN Ll

Hamakawa was once in All-Japan best 16. its a pleonasm but you could say that at his top form, he was one of Japan top 16 players Kojima qualified several times for the All-Japan main tournament and passed 1 or 2 rounds at least once. There are like 400 entries. so he must be like one of the...

iirc Hamakawa once had a best-16 finish at All-Japan

I've seen many times the YG serve tutorials from Hamakawa but unable to put it in practice its a pity because wow, his opponent, who's not a noob, he can't handle it at all... Gucchy's level seem to have dropped a lot. I wasn't impressed by his performance. I never liked his technique, he...

i have been playing again now for 10 days. it is still a bit painful but i feel if i don't play anymore im quickly becoming a crumbling old man. I need to move I can play BH normally, but i cannot make full swing on FH ie extending the arm quickly hurts unless im really warmed up which can take...

i think it depends on your situation. if there are very good players in your club who spend regularly time with you giving you advice and hitting the ball with you (== "coaching" you for free) then maybe not. else i think its worth it. the level of the coach is important. its better the coach...

Félix is too good too fast for poor Achanta... 11-2 in G2
