Campamento del Equipo de Tenis de Mesa Peruana (Menores) en Japon!!

Following 40years of my close relation with Peruvian table tennis family, now I am happily returning to be the hosting coach of the junior table tennis team from Peru led by Monica Liyau-san through her Impactando Vida program, The training camp is being held at the Youth training center of Shizutani in Okayama. Shizutani school has traditional architecture and beauty of Japan with 355 years of history, The Peruvian players are learning not only table tennis techniques but also Japanese philosophy, courtesy, cooking and traditional handicraft. Now they are accustomed to use chopsticks to eat Japanese rice and miso soup.

Yesterday, we welcomed the table tennis club teams from Kobe Noda high school, Kanzei high school, and Syuujitsu junior high-school. We played more than 10 matches from 9am till 4 pm. Today, we visited Shujitsu junior high-school in the city of Okayama and had a very friendly and tough practice from 9am till 5pm.

We truly appreciate and thank teachers and players of those schools and especially Mr Kouriyama and Mr Tachibana for coordinating the friendly match and exchange with table tennis friends around Okayama. The camp started on 14 January and it is still to be continued till 2 February. I wish all of you to have a great start of the new year 2025!!
