I have been very popular host for Kyudo (Japanese traditional Archery). I have engaged in Kyudo since I was high school student, and I have gotten the title of master after long training. In the past, honestly I have experienced many problems in Kyudo. For making better performance in Kyudo, I have learned ZA-ZEN(sitting quiet Zen meditation). Why? Japanese archery is called, "standing ZEN meditation. ZA-ZEN and Japanese archery have so many common points. And for dealing ZA-ZEN better, I have learned YOGA. Then now, I am not only coaching skillful Kyudo players, but also I am sports trainer for variety types of sports persons, for example, marathon runners, baseball players, martial artists. I especially focus on "Body Position", and I can explain very logically how to move body.

The goal of this course is to teach you how to target the main muscles and techniques to enable you to provide an effective Japanese "Shiatsu" massage. Step 1. You will receive a massage from Ryo Hatanaka (Owner and Chief Massage Therapist at Nature Daikanyama). During the massage, Ryo will give you a detailed explanation of the purpose of the massage and the target muscles. Step 2. You actually perform a massage on a volunteer model. While you perform the massage, Ryo will guide you in steps as to the techniques; how to use your body, and body position. Ryo will also show you how to apply pressure correctly and where and how to target the pressure points on the human body. After the lesson, we will provide feedback and a video of the massage you practiced. You can use this video as a review of the lesson. *After you make a booking, we will communicate via the message center or phone to fix a date/time for your lesson.
