Hey peeps!

just wanna share a snippet of my training in Tokyo.

It was really an honour to have trained with Coach Sakamoto (Kenta's current coach)

He provided me with great advise and hospitality.

Here you go:

It was really tough training early in the morning as my brain was still asleep. Hahaha. But it was fun!

its expensive, but, for example, Kazuhiro Chan (pro player in activity) charges 10,000 yens...
i know some coaches who are far from being pro players can charge usually from 5,000 to 7,000 yens, so comparatively, 8,000 yens is almost a bargain given Sakamoto's pedigree...

the standard of living is higher in Japan than some other countries, so these rates are not completely shocking here. but its expensive for sure, even for locals.
