Looking for a kickboxing gym in Osaka

[Somchai]

I used to live in Tokyo and trained at Yamaki gym. I was out of Muay Thai for a while but am now training in Bangkok but going back to Osaka next month. I am looking for a kickboxing gym preferably affiliated with the All Japan Kickboxing association. Please respond to this thread or send me a message if you have any info.

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks for the lead but can anyone read this name for me?

reading

It reads "Gesshinkai" and the Kaicho of the gym is Okada. If the Kaicho from Yamaki Gym remembers you, call him and ask about gyms he recommends in the Osaka area.

Im also looking for a place to do muay thai in osaka.gesshinkai is a karate dojo.ive done 3.5 years of full contact karate here in osaka and if possible dont want to do anything associated with it again.anyone know of a strictly muay thai place?

another contact

Try Ihara dojo's Osaka branch, I am assuming that like Ihara dojo, it is only a kickboxing gym, not a full contact karate/kickboxing gym. Contact info is below

Osaka-shi, Miyakojima-ku, Miyakojima Hondori 2-4-9

kickboxing

I saw a web page that looked like the first place I reccomended might indeed be a karate place but they do compete in kickboxing. Ihara's sounds interesting so I will look into it but someone else does first please post the results here. I will be in Osaka from December 5th. Right now I am training at Mai Muang Korn gym in Bangkok. http://www.geocities.com/maimuangkorn/eng_mai.htm But I am an old guy (37) so doing it more for staying in shape. I would like to do a couple 3 round fights in Japan if possible but I need to find a gym asap. I will ask the guys at my gym here beacause they have a lot of contacts in Japan. I will post any results I get and if any other Osaka jin are reading this please fo they same.

If you have Japanese word processing capabilities on your computer, then finding a gym in Japan isn't that hard.
Hope these are helpful
