MILITARY TRAINING
He took a 10-month break from the sport in order to train at the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force [JGSDF] Officer Candidate School in Kurume, Japan, after he failed to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "During the intense military training sessions, I kept thinking that I would not return to competition if I could not complete the training."
