I want to give huge thank you to Tomoa, Meichi and Akiyo for hosting me in their gym. If you want to help me out with that, then head over to their KZfaq channel and give them a subscription. In hindsight I wish I would've also gotten more of Akiyo in this episode, but luckily you can find more of her on their channel! All three of them were incredibly kind and fun to climb with, I'm very grateful for this session. Also, thank you to The North Face for sponsoring this episode, if you want a chance to win the free duffle bag then here's the form ▶︎ forms.gle/bgyUhQEDACAnpBH96 Lastly, I want to give another thank you to Naoto for helping us with translations!

Kudos for pointing it out Emil! It always feels a bit off when Akiyo hangs out in background while the boys do the talking - When she's actually the most successful climber in the room by such a huge margin, it's not even funny :D

If I'm not wrong, Tomoa came from a gymnastics background. Really does show in the way he moves so fluidly in dynamic and co-ordi boulders!

@tvdw4055 20 күн бұрын

@wsxgfhccr I’m not sure it has anything to do with his background in gymnastics. Movement patterns and proprioception related to gymnastics is tied with predictable and repeatable patterns. This is very different from climbing where there is constant variation and you need to adapt on the fly, especially for comps. For instance gymnasts usually don’t perform well on ninja warrior type obstacle courses whereas people coming from Parkour or even skating often perform better.

Really cool video! TAMY climbing has a very playful/encouraging mood on their channel and I feel like it was brought out in your video. Loved that you asked some non-climbing related questions and great to see the comparison between Meichi and your climbing style - feel like I learn the most in the gym that way. Keep up the videos man, they just keep getting better! (Also nice job to Cordi on the sick angles for some of the comp boulders)

Might be the best way to gain climbing specific strength, and also great technique while doing it. In another video Tomoa said he doesn't think Japanese climbers are as strong as the Europeans but they compensate through technique

Tomoa said in the Magnus video he only did strength training for speed climbing IFRC

@empty3102 21 күн бұрын

Strength training seems more theoretical, whereas just climbing is a lot more practical. I think it really emphasises their point about climbing technique. While strength opens up more options in approaching problems, technique improves the efficacy of that applied strength. Both are important, but I think the japanese favors the latter as they're leaner and lighter.
