Icon3 Moving to Japan for 9 months...

Hey everyone,

I am 18 years old and live in London. In september i am moving to Kobe, Japan for 9 months before I go to university. I'll be living with a Japanese host family, and going to a high school and university there. I have been training submission wrestling for around a year and a half now, and definitely want to keep up my training in Japan.

Does anyone know of any no-gi gyms in Kobe/Osaka/Kyoto/Nara that i could train at? I know Enson has a gym in Osaka, but are there any others?

Btw i checked out the huge "training in japan" thread but unfortunately there was no mention of any gyms in those areas, they mostly dealt with Tokyo.

Thanks

Enjoy the time there, bro. I loved Japan. I lived there in 1993 for 6 months during my military days. Great place.
