I was bouldering with some friends at Planet Granite in Sunnyvale, CA. It was a holiday so it was pretty busy, but we found a little bit of wall for ourselves and got to working on a problem together. While grappling with this wall, a man that I would guess to be in his fifties came over to do the same.
I don’t have a lot of space over here in Japan, so every time I move my office/gym I have to re-evaluate my equipment. This was especially true last month since I moved into yet another new gym. It is freaking awesome and you’ll be seeing a lot of new vids of it soon.

This year was a busy one for GMB Fitness! Here’s some of the best stuff we made in 2018.

Just a short train ride from the bustle and noise of downtown Osaka is a dappled, maple mountain range called Minoh. It’s the perfect get-away for me when I need to step out of the craziness of the city and recharge my batteries. I try to do this hike a couple times a month with my dog, Bree, and get a bit of shinrin-yoku “forest bathing” in. This last trip out was after a major typhoon hit the Osaka region. The forest had taken quite a beating!
As usual, we had the whole area to ourselves; no monkeys, no tourists. Those things scare me! The monkeys, I mean. 🙂
