Ideas for employment for man who wants to move to Japan to train in Judo (kodokan) - 03-21-2016, 11:34 PM

Hey
I am interested in moving to Japan for at least a year primarily because I really want to study Judo at Tokyo Kodokan.

I will need to self fund my trip/study, so was hoping someone may be able to give me some advice about work in Japan.

I understand that Teaching English as a Foreign Language is very popular way to earn a living for foreigners working in Japan.

I was wondering if it is possible to do such a job working only part time.
Working just enough to cover basic living accommodation (perhaps in a Gaijin House), food and Judo mat fee's. So small budget really.

A little info about me. I have a BA Degree in Sound Technology (sound engineering) from a famous performing arts college started by Paul McCartney of the Beatles.

I have some experience working with IT and some basic qualifications.
I also have a 1st Kyu in Judo, and am presently studying to qualify as a official British Judo Association Level 1 (assistant coach). I also teach children and have just certified as a Club Level Referee.

I am a single guy, no children. So am free to move.

Any advice would be appreciated.
