John：Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Hello, my name is
John Hommel. I came to Japan from America. I was born in California, but I grew
up in Hawaii and went to college in Florida.
When I was 13
years old I started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
in Honolulu, Hawaii. Now I practice jiu-jitsu at a school in Osaka.
Besides jiu-jitsu, I wrestled
for two years in high school.
When I’m not
practising, I like to read mystery novels, listen to jazz, and visit temples
and shrines. If you also like mystery novels, I recommend reading books by Michael Connelly. He writes stories about detectives and most of his books are translated
into Japanese. I especially recommend Blood Work (わが心臓の痛み
in Japanese).
And if you want to
learn a fun and effective way to exercise and protect yourself, then you should
learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!
