Zac's Update From Japan

Fellow Dojo Rat Zac has been living in Japan, teaching English and practicing Aikido.
We've been sending him concerned e-mails about his safety after the horrible Earthquake, Tsunami, and now impending Nuclear meltdown.

Zackey Chan's Mamachari

My buddy Zac (aka "Zackey Chan") is teaching English in Japan and writes the "Gaijin Explorer" blog. It covers cultural issues, Aikido training, and in this case Epic Journeys!
The picture above is his bike, the "Mamachari" a big-ass rusty thirty year-old bike that he uses to travel his area of rural Japan.
In this epic journey, he discovers ruins of castles, endless rice fields and has a close encounter with a wild boar.
Take a look at his latest adventure at this link.

Young Zac In Japan

I am very proud of my young friend and student Zac (Alias "Zackey Chan").
As some of you have read, Zac is in Japan Teaching English. There was the expected adjustment time getting used to teaching, teaching in a foreign language, and Japanese culture in general. Now however, he has found the sweet release of being thrown, swept, wristlocked and generally thrashed in his new Aikido class. As is tradition, he will be learning the Bokken sword and Jo staff also.
Drop by his Blog "Gaijin Explorer", and leave him a comment. The comment buttons are in Japanese, but are the same layout as you see on any "Blogger" format.
Eat mat, Gaijin!

Check Out "Gaijin Explorer"

In our video's over the past few years you have seen our young friend "Zacky Chan" get beat up in countless demonstrations.
Now, Zac is in Japan teaching English, and has started his own Blog to detail some of the experiances.
If you have spent time in Japan and have comments and suggestions you can reach him in the comment section of his Blog posts. For those of us that don't read Japanese, the comment buttons are pretty much the same as in the English version of Blogger.
