Hi,
I am an American student who is in college. I have been to Japan before and I do speak very very little Japanese. I know random words and a few phrases, a couple kanji and I can read and write hiragan and katakana.
Anyway, this summer I am planning on going overseas to continue training Muay Thai. Of course, Thailand is the place to be for Muay Thai, but I am really scared to go there. I do not speak the language, I know nothing about the culture, and I hear there are mosquitos that if you get bit you will be sick in a bed for 7 days. No thanks.
I would like to train in Osaka. I have the money to get there and pay for everything, but I cannot seem to find a gym that accomidate living. I am planning on staying for one month (maby a little less or more depending on the situation). This would be in the summer probably in the begining of June.
Does anyone have any idea on what I can do to live in Japan for a month? Also, does anyone know a gym that they can lead me to? Ive tried to contact
www.muaythai.jp twice via email. Both times they have not responded.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!
