Its been a fast month here at Kamikaze Juku. We have to say goodbye to two more members and remember that you're always welcome to come back home. The first is Sayaka, one of the few females able to hang with us at the gym. I give her credit for that alone, its tough to make it in a testosterone driven gym but she did. Sad to see you go and we wish you the best in your endeavors on the mainland.And lastly Paco. He came in with a group of seven and was the only one to stick with it. He is the epitome of what we strive for at Kamikaze. He is driven and focused even when some of us aren't which in turn brings up the motivation and morale for all of us. Always a smile on his face and some quick wit humor on the side. He was able to pick up the art of fighting faster than anyone we've had in a while. In the short time of being with us he has fought 2 fights and won both of them. Also Paco by nature is a generous guy. He has donated consistently to the gym in the form of gear and a few bones on the side.
On the down side of things, The last Tenkaichi event was a loss for us. Mr Kamikaze has finally relinquished the heavyweight title belt in a match against Fred. While we all knew this was eventually going to happen it doesn't make it easier to swallow. Some legends you just don't want to see fall. I would rather he lose the belt to Fred than anyone else because Fred is a good guy. But it was the final belt to go from us when we originally carried 4 of the 5 weightclasses championships.
Back to training. OSU!
