Current self-training regime

Here is my current self-training regime. Beginning on January 1st, 2026.

Today, I will give no reps nor sets. I'm simply following necessity in each practice. Accordingly, each day's self-training runs between 90 minutes to 120 minutes. Sometimes slightly less, and oftentimes, slightly more.

Once again, I want to wish all my seniors, peers and students around here in Japan, and around the world, great health, productive training, and happiness.

    押忍！
