Hi!
I'm a big fan of Musashi - K1 best japanese fighter and I'd like to get more info about his popularity in Japan?
As far as I know now he is training in Tokyo, can anyone tell me where and if planning visit Japan - how possible would it be to meet him and take an autograph? :)
Any info will be appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Hope I'll find here K-1 GP fans!
Cheers!
 
Good to see another fight fan on the boards. In my own experience, I've met plenty of fighters & they have been very approachable. That being said, I've never been to Japan, but from what I understand Musashi is a very popular guy. I don't know how easily accessible he would be. Sorry, I can't help you with the gym location question, but I will definitely keep my eyes peeled. Btw, if you ever plan on attending a K-1 event in Japan, check out www.kakuto.com. They can set up a tour package with a meet & greet with the fighters, & if you're a fighter or training yourself, possibly a training session. I'll be using them for a trip this summer (hopefully :-) ), I'll let you know how it goes.
 
Thanks guys!

First of all I would like to thank you for the message. I really got very happy seeing someone answered me! I have almost lost fate that anybody would! 🙂
About planning going to Japan for some K-1 event - I must share with you I'm thinking for 30 of Sept this year when the Final Eliminations will be and Musashi will fight for sure!
You can imagine how poor I feel with my impossibility to read and understand japanese, b'cos in the japanese official K-1 site there are plenty of information, news, ticket ordering online, fanclub etc - but as you may guess only photos and dates are understandable for me :( I have noticed that the K-1 official english version of the site is poorer than the japanese one. Also I have seen good links in it, where from I understood a number of K-1 fighters have their own sites. But to my regret Musashi still doesn't have one!
Anyway, I will take a look at the sites you give me for which I thank you a lot!
And it will be really interesting to me what will your impressions, Nhannah, be from the journey you are planning this summer! So I'm expecting news from you :)
I think Japan is very charming destination by itself, but if I could manage it with presenting at such event will be simply great!
I have registered in the US K-1 site and I have to share with you I'm very satisfied with them. May be you know that Sat, 29 April, Musashi will meet Sammy Shiltz in hotel Mirage, Las Vegas. I had a few questions to them and I had regular and so very nice answers indeed.
As you may guess I couldn't manage a journey to US for so short time, b'cos I have understooden for that match 3 weeks ago, but my wish to send my encouragements to Musashi was so very big , so that I have asked the man who I was e-mailing my questions to send him a message from me - and you know what? HE AGREED!
This makes me so very, very HAPPY! 🙂
About naming Musashi, Budd, I think it suits him so very well. I will share with you he is my favourite fighter.
In every single match he has - no matter who he meets and how hard matches are - Musashi always succeeds saving his magnificent composure!
And the look in his eyes really looks like a look of a samurai ! :) Thank you once again for your link, i'll definitly look at it!
So, guys, I hope you to keep in touch and we to continue this subject!
Kind regards, Viki
 
i like that attitude!!!
we get a lot of boneheads in here who want only english webpages on their japanese obsession.
props for being realistic. never stop learning! peace

Waa, my fellow dutch will fight Musashiiiiiiiii. 👍

Sammy is not doing that well recently, he lost from peter aerts and from another new Dutch bloke. But maybe he can win again against Musashi!! I like musashi, he's a nice fighter, and also I hope to go to a K1 fight this year or next year.

Wonder how much the tickets cost in Japan for the Final elimination!!

Ashanti, a couple of months ago I put up a K1 thread in the Sport section, maybe you can find something nice in there, and I am sure you can contribute to this forum about K1!!! 👍
 
Hi, guys

Dutch Baka,
nice seeing another K-1 fan here, you are right, I have to try in "Sport" section, I must confess I couldn't find one at the beginning but now I'll try harder :)
So, as you may already know, Shilt won on 29. 04 against Musashi, but this does not change anything to me :)
I would like to know is this event has been shown on some TV?
B'cos here, in Bulgaria, although I have a lot of tv channels, my cable tv agent seems to not offering a plenty of sport channels - it is poor indeed, I have only EuroSport.
Can you give me any suggestions of a tv channel which shows all K-1 events alive?
Thanks in advance!
p.s. Budd, you are right , I have smth in my mind to start learning japanese, I'll see what I can do about it, but I would like to share with you that me, as a bulgarian - Bulgaria is not one of the big or rich contries indeed, but has a lot of interesting history and traditions, so I wouldn't mind if we make our country popular in english, after all this language remains the worldwide language :)
Regards, Ashanti
 
Aa good to hear Sammy won, sorry :p

You can get K1 live on the Internet I think, but of course you got to pay for that! Eurosport always shows the K1 events 3-4 weeks later


here is the link for the K1 thread
 
:)

Dutch Baka, thanks for the link, I am going to check it out.
You are right about EuroSport - this is what I have noticed too.
BTW I would like to inform you that I have succeeded in getting in touch with Musashi :) And I hope he will answer to me! :-)
I promise to tell you as soon as this happens and also I would like to say I'm very grateful to the man who made this connection posiible - "SC" - thanks!!! You are great!
C ya , folks!
