    I want to give huge thank you to Tomoa, Meichi and Akiyo for hosting me in their gym. If you want to help me out with that, then head over to their RUclips channel and give them a subscription.
    In hindsight I wish I would've also gotten more of Akiyo in this episode, but luckily you can find more of her on their channel! All three of them were incredibly kind and fun to climb with, I'm very grateful for this session.
    Also, thank you to The North Face for sponsoring this episode, if you want a chance to win the free duffle bag then here's the form ▶︎ forms.gle/bgyUhQEDACAnpBH96
    Lastly, I want to give another thank you to Naoto for helping us with translations! He was a great guy, and if you want to give him a follow on instagram here it is: instagram.com/naoto13.climbing_/

      If I'm not wrong, Tomoa came from a gymnastics background. Really does show in the way he moves so fluidly in dynamic and co-ordi boulders!

    • @tvdw4055
      @tvdw4055 Месяц назад +18

      @wsxgfhccr I’m not sure it has anything to do with his background in gymnastics. Movement patterns and proprioception related to gymnastics is tied with predictable and repeatable patterns. This is very different from climbing where there is constant variation and you need to adapt on the fly, especially for comps. For instance gymnasts usually don’t perform well on ninja warrior type obstacle courses whereas people coming from Parkour or even skating often perform better.

    3:35 What he says here is so often reflected in animes. It's like the japanese hero archetype - getting beaten down again and again, but always getting back up and fighting back even when it seems like there's no fighting chance. Which when you think about it is kinda what climbing is all about. I never really linked the two but it makes a lot of sense I think.
    Now that I think about it Japanese are also very good at skateboarding. The first ever olympic gold medal was won by Yuto Horigome who's one of my favorite skater. Maybe there's something about those solo sports where it's you against yourself that works well with Japanese culture I don't know 🤷‍♂️
