Kakutogi Road Presents: Sayama's Corner "The Story of Shooto Vol.11"
An Early Sketch for Shooto's Intended Octagon...

Do your warm-up exercises with care.
When you choose a course [for roadwork], choose by keeping in mind that concrete roads can easily hurt your knees and earth paths with their unevenness can easily sprain your ankles.
As your course, you should choose a path that you are already accustomed to run on or a path that you have sufficiently inspected while walking or jogging.
When you sprain your ankle, it can be easily caught in a joint submission. So when running with injuries, pay special attention to sprained ankles.
Breakfast should be well-balanced and plentiful:
After training, wait for the sweat to drain by being still for about ten minutes. Then you can take a shower or wipe yourself with a dry towel. In either case you need to completely wipe off your sweat.
For breakfast, instead of a refreshing Japanese style breakfast, Western breakfast with high calories and nutritional value is better.
By the way, I will introduce you here to the standard breakfast given at Gotch’s dojo:
Gotch-style oatmeal with banana and raisin with plenty of honey as the main dish; dark bread, ham and eggs (with three eggs), fresh orange juice, fried chicken, vegetable salad, various types of cheese, yogurt, milk, and so on are all placed on the table.
After eating breakfast, rest your body until noon. But don’t sleep during this time. This is because it is difficult to return the body, once loosened, back to its previous state in a short period of time.
Since you will begin full-scale training at 2:00 in the afternoon, as a rule do not eat lunch. But if you really feel the need to, eat things that would not strain your stomach like vegetable salad or noodles, fruits and so on, at least two hours prior to the start of your training.
Soft = technique, hard = body:
At 2:00 begin your training for real fights, such as sparring.
Basic physical strength training like leg exercises, pushups, exercises using barbells and so on, can be done before or after sparring but spend a while doing them.
If we compare the afternoon training to computers, 1) soft = the study of techniques; and 2) hard = building the body.
Do both kinds of training.
In order to study the techniques and master them (soft), we need to build physical strength that can endure them (hard).
It is also necessary to take care that practice does not become monotonous by skillfully mixing the hard and the soft.
Finish training at 8:00 and after showering, eat dinner.
For the evening meal, the most important thing to consider is nutritional balance and there is no need to eat a lot.
When I was training at the Gotch dojo, I only had two meals a day, morning and evening, but the volume was still sufficient to build up the body. Moderate dehydration is important even during training, but be careful about taking in too much water.
After the evening meal relax and use your own time efficiently.
Be sure to make a note of anything you noticed:
It is also important to reflect upon the training of the day and make a note of what you noticed without forgetting about it.
Make it a habit to write down any idea that comes to you, whether by drawing or with sentences. Years later these notes will be valuable assets.
Eight hours is the best duration for sleep. Both lack of sleep and too much sleep will lead to destroying the body’s rhythm.
Each person is different due to physical fitness and the environment, and thus what is effective in training will be different for them.
Begin by making your own plan and building a training schedule that is right for you.
Pushups. My own record was 90 times.
Learning the distance from your opponent with your body, throw an accurate and yet effective kick.
