For other martial arts fan like me, I highly recommend two anime and manga: Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple (史上最強の弟子ケンイチ Shijō Saikyō no Deshi Ken'ichi, lit. History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi), about fighting, mareiam arts and improvement (including Muay Thai, Judo, Kendo, Kung Fu (Chuugoku Kenpo) and Karate) and Hajime no Ippo, about boxing, about sporting spirit, respect and determination. It's also very funny, and has fighting narratives like the one in this and the next lesson. For those interested, there is also a 70s manga about boxing called Ashita no Joe, that, if I'm not mistaken, was just HUGE in Japan. Nice lesson!

Most of them are really good but one or two of the male presenters speak really too slowly. The best way, IMHO, is to speak slightly more slowly than normal with each clause but to put a pause in the natural place for a Japanese sentence (i.e. after most particles). The "yukkuri" iteration in this one was one of the worst. The ultra slow motion version sounds like a badly running cassette tape and gives no extra benefit compared to the more usual version.

I thought they were saying "honest host". :lol: Can you ask the male voice actors not to speak soooooo slowly when doing the slow repeat. It sounds like a tape player that has batteries that need replacing. :roll: Ernenesto Hoost? I thought they were saying “honest host”. :lol:

When I get a computer that can write Kana I hope to participate more myself. Unfortunately my bootleged software wont allow me to upgrade to write kana! Also, where has Sachico San gone to?! She was great, really knowledgeable! You guys should have some type of host appreciation day since you've been running so long now. Some casual Japanese chat and reflection on the past and get together some of the old hosts. HA, well, in my Taiso Jyugyou -gymnastics class, I really impressed a Japanese student with my sakatachi -handstands, more so with the fact i knew that vocab. I can credit that to those Monkey Series Lessons in recent weeks. Also, im working on memorizing your ShizenHakai -destruction of nature-llesson for extra credit in my Japanese class. It a bear, but im making progress. BTW, I love the environmental themed lessons. OK, So everyone at JP101 and board contributors, Thanks and keep up the good work!

I think it is on PayPerView sometimes. UFC and Pride are more well known here. Pride more so now that UFC bought it. Mostly hardcore fight fans are the only ones who know about other organizations here. It's funny that people always think of China or Japan when talking about martial arts, but both inherited them from India whose martial arts aren't as well known now (Kali, Silat ?).
