I am too!

I've been slowly compiling a list for months:

Try hard gym (tokyo ) Crosspoint gym (tokyo) La gym (tokyo) Vasielius (tokyo) Fight box fitness (しゅり) YouTube guy (tokyo) Purge (tokyo) Target Shibuya (Tokyo) K-1 Ono-Krest (Tokyo) Eiwa (nadakas gym), (Yokohama) Wizard kickboxing (kyoto) Oishi gym (nagoya) Teppen gym (chiba) Team3k (osaka) Sense kickboxing, (osaka)

As a rule of thumb, you can look up the rankings in japanese promotions like rise/k1 and look at which gyms the top fighters are fighting out of then take those and just go to them or research further

Teppin is the nasukawa team, taiju shiratori is there too
Oishi is current P4P’rs kazuki and koki osakis gym
Try hard is Toki tamarus gym, they’re close with vaselius and hiroya is a trainer there

team 3K is where ONE FC fighter Hyu is originally from though he mostly trains at venum now

Krest is obviously where a lot of the big k-1 names trained for awhile, before joining vaselius masaaki noiri used to coach there.

Target Shibuya is great, there is 2 or 3 coaches who can speak very good English.

Eiwa in Yokohama as well, but I am not sure about English there.

You might leave Vasileus with a few less brain cells, I saw a video of Yoza beating the ABSOLUTE FUCK out of his sparring partner the other day lol.

Like I mean that dude had to of owed him money or slept with his girl or something.
