When you practice martial arts the goal is generally not to injure your opponent. There are times (such as tournaments) when you have permission to injure, but it's important to read the situation about when it's ok and when it's not ok to hurt others.

Is it ok for me to hurt this person?

#JapanLifeProTip The longer you’ve been in Japan the less thrilled people are about your lack of Japanese ability. Of course newbies have problems communicating, but if you’ve been here 10+ years and can’t communicate it makes you look like you don’t have your shit together.

People that claim that personal improvement is “right wing” (while using “right wing” as a pejorative) are weak and want you to be as weak as they are. There’s nothing political about exercise. Embrace the grind.

#JapanLifeProTip Your visa status in Japan is VERY important. Once you have PR you can work in any field. Other visas limit your job options. 10 years to application eligibility then 6 months to process. Don’t put off applying for PR if you want to live in Japan long term.

@Liniest_Link The best way to make yourself feel “unwelcome” is to go somewhere, stay there for a long period of time, and refuse to try to communicate with people.

@dissenter9999 Finding the joy in it is important. I listen to audiobooks as I run. It’s my entertainment. It helps a lot.

@BudoNick @syrupmermaid Regardless of the degree (bachelors, masters, PhD or something else), if it’s in a field with no real world utility it’s difficult to use.

@FJack34 @michikusa_ultra Thank you very much. I really enjoy events like these so although they can be somewhat tiring they are quite pleasant. I think running a hard 5k with 100% effort is more exhausting than doing a casual 50k. But you’ve got to build up to these things.

@BarretNobelFit People can call me whatever they like behind my back. The fact that they are calling me means they are thinking about me. I’m not thinking of them as I’m crushing it. 😁

@SweetE346 @bunburyoudouuk I bet it’s much warmer in Florida. I’m still having trouble with my headphones shutting off due to the cold right now. It was a cool and clear morning. Very nice apart from the headphone troubles. 😁

If you are on an instructor visa then suddenly lose your job you may be limited to only taking other “instructor” roles. If you want to do something else you need to jump to a new visa, which may be difficult. PR removes that hurdle and gives you a strong foundation.

@WayBudo Everyone who steps up wants to win. A victory gained because your opponent went easy on you is no true victory. You owe it to your opponent to give it your all.

@feanor_legend I’ve been in a similar situation but it was a 6 month plus wait for something else. I advise starting the process of job hunting now so once your visa comes through you can step into a new role. That’s the smoothest way to transition roles.

@BarretNobelFit There should be. I taught police officers in Japan a few times. All of them do some kind of martial art be it kendō or judō.

@student4588 Ashihara kata are very logical. There’s no mystery about what the techniques are and no interpretation required. They’re drills to practice specific techniques. As kata go, I quite like them.

@jarom04 I think you have a more specialist visa in that area. It’s less worrisome than being locked into teaching jobs. Still, PR is the most secure and has other benefits like you described above. Owning property is so much easier with PR.

@KindyDreaming @bunburyoudouuk I read a lot of papers on the train during my PhD. I’ve also listened to a lot of webinars to get or maintain other qualifications. Of course I’ve wasted time as well but using even 50% of the time well adds up.

@omatsu_o02 I believe there’s a point system that can accelerate the process for highly skilled individuals. It’s probably good to consider 10 years as a standard expectation and the turnaround time after application as at least 6 months.

@kurotesuta That may very well be the case. But to give a slightly different example, one of the smartest guys I ever met LOOKED like he didn’t have his shit together. He did but he also had the appearance of being a total scatterbrain with an office that looked like it had been ransacked.
