格闘技、大好きです！
Peter-san,
All martial arts in the world came from India not Japan!
Daruma(ダルマ) who is from India was really good at Indian Kempo, and he brought that technique to Shorinji shrine which is located in China. Then those technique that Shorinji monks developed spread out to all over the world.
皆さん知ってました？

K1 is not very popular where I live in the states. 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 ?).

Aside from my regular praise of J-Pod, I’de like to say I really appreciate some of the comments people have been leaving on these lesson threads! 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 really appreciate some of the comments people have been leaving on these lesson threads!
i agree with that!!
where has Sachico San gone to?!
sachiko is working on another project right now, but she’s still around!
I can credit that to those Monkey Series Lessons in recent weeks.
hahahahahahahaha, we should add a new section. “site links,” “about us,” “help center,” innovative solutions,” “monkey lessons!”
im working on memorizing your ShizenHakai -destruction of nature-llesson for extra credit in my Japanese class.
the notorious 30 minute lesson! that one is a monster!
but it became a bit of an unexpected classic.
i’d like to do something like it again…

I just clicked this lesson for fun and was so surprise that I understand it. I love this lesson. I have not started studying lower intermediate yet, so I wonder if all lower intermediate lessons are at this level or simply because this lesson is an easy one?

This is the exact quote from Japanese Wikipedia that was mentioned in the podcast.
Ernesto Hoost 最近は日本のメディアへの露出も増えており、日本語を目下勉強中だという。

このレッソンは本当にありがとうございます。
この前日本人の戦士とK1をしたら、完全に何も言わない。K1をする事は大好きな趣味けど、今後もっといいK1の戦士になれると思います。

Ernenesto Hoost? I thought they were saying “honest host”. 
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.

Quick request - please don’t speak so slowly during the yukkuri dialogue repeat bit! Just speak at a normal pace with longer gaps between the words (and without any of the accents/slurred speech as is sometimes used). The super s———l———-o———-w motion thing is near impossible to fathom…!

The lessons are great but there’s a distinct variation in the ability of the people doing the conversation in doing the “yukkuri” iteration. 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.
