Training in Japan?

what do you think of the japanese and training there? because i am thinking of living there for a couple of years to study and train in martial arts

Training in Japan?
My suggestion is:


- "a couple of years" is too short to learn. If you want to learn genuine martial arts, you need 5 years at least. There are some people who boast of one-year experience of martial arts, but such a short experience is shameful in Japan.


- Can you understand Japanese? As far as I know, genuine masters can't understand English. You should understand language and culture deeply first. I think terms of martial arts aren't easy to understand for you because some concepts are based on oriental medicine or has traditional background.


- There are many sport-like martial arts all over the world. If you want to learn them, it is not necessary to come to Japan.





If you really want to learn it, you should try it. But, if your interest comes from anime or something, you will be astonished to meet with the difficulty. It is extremely different from animes/movies.
Reply:Its not like the movies. Not everyone knows martial arts.





If you are looking to go somewhere remote to study martial arts and meditation, China is the place to go.





There really isn't a real visa status you can get to do that to stay a few years.
Reply:yes well iv never been to japan but i hear that kendo is very big is your intrested in weapondry martial arts?
Reply:unless your japanese is very good, you will have a hard time there. most schools, are related to high schools or college. and then like temples or dojo's where it is a career.





If some foreigner comes to the states, and tries to train in a school with no english. it might be difficult too.





if you are taking martial arts now, maybe see if it has affiliation in japan. a visit would be fun
