Nanba is the Art of Physical Finesse. I define it as the physical art of being creative in crisis.
There are many ways to practice Nanba, and one of the best is through running, because it is challenging enough to put your body in a mild state of crisis, without putting you in any danger.
What are the benefits of Nanba Running?
Where can you learn and practice Nanba Running?
If you live in Tokyo, there are opportunities each month to learn more about Nanba. You can become a member of the Shunsoukai (瞬想会), through which I meet regularly with students from Waseda and other Universities.
We meet at the Runners Station, which has coin lockers and showers, change to running clothes, and then go to the Nippon Budokan Park.
I conduct training in Nanba running for about 30 minutes, and then as a group we will run a course of about 5 km in length (roughly 40 minutes) around the beautiful Nippon Budokan.
In case of rain, we have an alternative activity planned at the nearby MOMAT Art Museum. In any case, please contact me by e-mail in advance if you want to participate. Participation is free, but you must sign up to register.
