Reading Time: <1 minuteLast night was the first Pancrase lightweight champion, Noboru Samurai.　https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%98%87%E4%BE%8DI had a dinner with him to discuss training. Two weeks before the last RIZIN Kobe tournament, I was knocked down by my sparring partner's shoulder during practice, hit my chest hard, and suffered costal cartilage damage. I was in so much pain that I even had breathing restrictions, and my movement was greatly restricted. Generally, costal cartilage damage takes about four weeks to heal while resting, so I was unable to practice at all for two weeks before the match. I don't want to use my injury as an excuse for losing... that's natural for a fighter. However, with my weight handicap, not being able to practice, and chest pain, I was unable to perform at my usual level and my punching power was halved. In the match before last against Suzuki Chihiro, the effects of lung training were dramatic and I won easily, but this time my rib cage movement was ironically restricted by costal cartilage damage. Rib cage movement is a really important point for fighters and athletes. As a doctor, I have doubts about why Kai Asakura went ahead with the match in the recent RIZIN bantamweight final without a doctor's stop despite his fracture. Prioritizing the performance may be good at the time, but it is expected that there will be disadvantages in the future. At 38 years old, Shoji's challenge is still ongoing. We hope that he will be in top physical condition and show us a great performance!   For cosmetic surgery, cosmetic surgery, armpit treatment, hyperhidrosis treatment, petite plastic surgery, hokuro removal, scar treatment, wrinkle, and sagging treatment in Nagoya, please contact Sakae Clinic.
