Can you guys let me know where there is a wrestling school or gym here in Tokyo??? I have been looking for one but I can not find one. I want to wrestle!!!!!!!!
Try Animal Hamaguchi's Dojo, for both amateur and pro levels. Hamaguchi was like Terry Taylor here in the U. S., underrated as a wrestler, but a trainer of the best talent.
Is this the best Advice you guys have for someone who wants to try making a go of it in the Puroresu Scene.
Im new to the Forum but have learned alot from here.
Just wondering if there is any other good Advice,i know about the LA Dojo, and some of the recent tryouts, but How does someone get into All Japan.
They want to replace the expensive guys, Im not expensive at all.
I wish Giant Baba was my Grandpa, then id have a reason to feel so ANGRY......
You just missed the New Japan dojo tryouts; they'll be held at around the same time next year. You'll have to be really, really, fit though, don't just turn up, or you could seriously injure yourself. You need, and I cannot stress the importance of this, a combat sports/martial arts background; it'll increase your stamina, and make you a more attractive prsopect.
Between now and next year (if you seriously want to try out), enroll in the toughest martial arts gym in your area, studying something like tae kwon do or muay thai (known to be the toughest martial arts) and sign up for as many athletic activities as you can; track and field, shotput, discus, soccer, whatever; just improve your fitness, get into great shape, and then think about trying out.
You'll also need to sort out a visa.
If you are under the age of 18, don't bother trying out until you are; use theextra time to study martial arts and athletic sports.
If there's a rugby club in your area, try that; rugby builds toughness, speed and physique.
