  3. Clubs in Japan

    Hi I can PM me when you are in Tokyo I usually play in Minato Sports Center near JR Tamachi station. If you have a good budget I suggest you visit UPTY and book a 1:1 lesson with Sakamoto an ex-pro JNT member www.upty.co.jp 8000 tens per hour but well worth it in my opinion

    Nope I'm in Tokyo
  5. Qatar Open 2018

    I think people are underestimating the Japanese too quickly. Of course the Chinese team is very stronger and I think WMY SYS or CXT will even be stronger than the current CNT leaders. They all play like men. However the Japanese are talented and still young. I think it's too early to say Hirano...
  6. Qatar Open 2018

    Chen Ke is not the strongest of CNT player but she lost 0-4 to Hirano :p

    went to a mini (chess-like) tournament (between the 'students' of a TT school). everybody had 4 matches/rounds in total. played first to a younger guy i never played before against. it was easier than I expected, a 3-0 sweep. Although his balls were spinny, he wasn't agressive enough, and i...

    @Sali I think you are wrong Last week he won the Japan Top12 beating Harimoto 4-2 in the final. Everyone was here and it was a great performance

    @NL The problem is there aren't any amateur clubs here. We all play in a public facility open to anyone. Groups of people from all Tokyo and beyond come here, even if they don't play in our local league. There is no membership, no club president or secretary. You just pay the entrance fee to the...

    @NL I have not much problems playing with a weaker player. My problem is that often when I'm alone, other people are in groups and whether they're good or not, they just wanna play with people in their group even if they're an odd number of people and one is just waiting or watching....the...

    Hi guys. Haven't been posting much lately. I lost a bit of motivation these times, a bit less time training, bad results in tournaments, caught a long lasting cold... But I slowly recovered and started running again and getting a little back in form If I try to reflect of my TT evolution in...
  12. World Team Cup 2018

    Niwa played magically one set only while Ma was a bit surprised... But it's impossible to play three sets like this... Still congratulations for saving the honour and take one set for the JNT. That's the best they could today
  13. World Team Cup 2018

    Well it was a massacre as usual in the women's final alas The Japanese doubles could just grab a set when the Chinese were already up 2-0 and let off the guard a bit. The Japanese really needed to win that double to hope to put some pressure on the Chinese. Ito Hayata had one win in some...

    I had lesson last Friday with my main coach I've been working for more than 1year with him, but he never saw me play in matches. So I showed him the vids from the Asian Veteran tournament... I think he realized how bad and hopeless I was (lol)... His 2 main advices when he saw the video: -...

    to answer another one of your posts (cannot find it) the funny expression that we hear a lot in TT at the amateur level in Japan is "ラッキ!!!" = LUCKY !!! which is how to celebrate a net or edge ball, or a stupid miss from the opponent .... It should come out heartfully with joy, but quickly...
