Japanese Sports Day: I Train Young Warriors · 25 October 04
UPDATED: Fresh explanations!
—————-
When I heard that the agricultural school where I work two days a week was going to have a massive sports festival, I prayed it would be weird.
Thank you, Japan. You never let me down.
The day’s biggest revelation? I train young warriors. (Well, I just train them in English. But still.)
Beneath the raised gym on campus, the boxing squad battles in a full-size boxing ring. Yup, we have a boxing squad. At a high school.
But the hard-core don’t stop there. Even the regular kids played sports with insane vigour at the fest. 100m dash? Weak.
Barefoot? Better.
But that’s just a warm-up for the full-speed carrying people in wacky positions race:
And sumos! Just as plump as you’d hope they would be!
In class they rarely speak. On the field… they rarely speak. But they got the grimace goin’ on…
And they love photo-ops.
Though they will make you appear scrawny(er) and powerless.
Each group performed in a mighty parade. The most astounding? The uniformed teenagers dancing with giant radishes.
Brief videos will be uploaded soon.
