Next year I want to work on my low kicks."
Please enjoy the soba noodles.
By the way, it is said that the custom of eating soba noodles over the New Year has continued since the Edo period (1603-1868). The origin of this custom is said to be that people want to cut off all the hardships, unpleasantness, and pain of the year without carrying them over to the next year.
Yoshida:It's harder to cut than regular food, though (laughs).
Looking back on the past year, are there any memories or events that you would like to cut off?
Yoshida:Yes, I guess you mean that you were beaten up at a drinking party by someone you knew even better, who was about 10 years younger than you. ......
Eh..! What's the situation? ......
Yoshida:That day, there were girls at the party, and he and I were fighting over the girls. I guess he didn't like my attitude, because as soon as he and I were alone at the same table, he suddenly became irritated. Suddenly, he started to get annoyed and asked me, "Are you not going home? I said, "I'm not going home. I replied in an appropriate manner, "I'm not going home, I'm going home at my own pace. He kicked my desk with a bang, and then leaned on me as a horse. ......
Oh my God. .......
Yoshida:As expected, I said, "I don't feel well, so I'm going home," and walked out, but I smoked in front of the store for a while after that, hoping that someone would come to stop me. Then he came out and said, "Otsukareisu! Like that. What? I thought, "What the hell? But then, once I was mature enough to say, "Okay, okay, see you later," he snapped again, "That's a strange response when I said 'good night! He lost his temper again and went to ...... like that. We got into a tussle and he hit me, and I didn't even have time to set up the choke sleeper, and everyone came in to stop me again.
That was a disaster.
Yoshida:I told the person who stopped me, in passing, "I'm a martial artist, but I held back.
(laughs).
Yoshida:But I can't actually muster up the courage to apply a choke sleeper. I have never choked an opponent in the gym, and if I were to use such a technique in a fight, I think people would be very reluctant to do so. That's why I want to train my low kicks next year (laughs). (Laughs.) People don't pull back, and if you hit them with a kick and they can't walk away like, "Wait! You feel like you've really won when your opponent can't walk away after you hit him with a kick. (Laughs.) In terms of practicality, I think low kicks are the best. But to be honest, for about a week after that drinking session, it was hard for me every time I thought about it. ......
