Why don't Japanese people need the gym?

​When you walk the streets of Japan, you see people eating rice, noodles, and tempura; yet obesity is rare. Why?
​It’s not just genetics actually. It’s a collection of ancient habits that have been passed down for centuries.
​In my latest video, I break down 10 "Hidden Teachings" that keep Japanese people slim without strict diets or intense exercise. It’s about flow, not force.

Ever wondered who the first REAL ninja was?

​I collaborated with Cool Story Bro on his latest video, and let me tell you, the storytelling is next level! He dives deep into the history of the deadliest man in Japan (and it’s not who you think).

🏯 ​He’s an amazing creator and was super generous to work with. Definitely go show him some love and watch the full video here! 👇

Why are you still tired after sleeping 8 hours?
We often think exhaustion comes from doing too much. But Miyamoto Musashi fought over 60 life-or-death duels and never felt burned out also.
The truth is uncomfortable: You aren't tired because your body is weak. You are tired because your spirit is heavy.

In my latest video, I explain the concept of "Carrying Stones" ; the hidden mental habits that drain your energy faster than any workout.

Honest question:
How do you feel when you wake up in the morning?
My grandfather used to say, "A warrior’s strength depends not on how long he sleeps, but on how deeply he rests."

Many of us sleep 8 hours and wake up with a heavy head. Meanwhile, traditional Samurai practices allowed them to sleep 4 hours and wake up fully alert.

I’m revealing the 7 ancient habits behind this in the next video (including the 'Soba-Kawa' method and the 'Ofuro' ritual).

Stop letting the night take more energy than it returns.

A Small Update of My Life 😭😭😭
I need your support right now.
My dear friends,
​I am writing this with a heavy heart (and with my left hand). Recently, I met with a bike accident while coming back from an orphanage at night. My right hand is severely fractured and dislocated.
​My doctor has told me I cannot use my hand for at least 5 months. As you know, I draw everything on this channel by hand, so this is devastating news for me.
​However, I am not giving up. I am not letting this stop our journey.
​For the next few months, I have hired a video editor to help me create the visuals. I will still be writing the scripts and doing the voiceovers myself. I truly hope you will support me and the new editor during this
difficult time.
😭😭😭
​Please keep me in your prayers for a speedy recovery. Your support means the world to me right now.

There are two ways to look at your career.

• Path A: You take the job that pays the most right now. You get comfortable. But in 5 years, your growth stops.
• Path B: You take the harder path. You struggle at first. But you build skills that make you unstoppable later on.

Most people would choose Path A and wonder why they never build true wealth.

In the upcoming video, I’m breaking down the 7 "Poor Traps" that keep people stuck on Path A; and how a Samurai mindset can help you escape them.

If you are tired of following the crowd into a financial dead end, this video is for you.
Dropping soon. Which path are you choosing today? 👇
