Insights from a Champion

On September 7, 2026, a unique workshop titled "Decision-Making is Influenced by Physical Condition: Conditioning Techniques from Former All-Japan Kyokushin Karate Champion" will be conducted at Sanbou BAR Hamamatsuchō in Tokyo. This dynamic session will be led by Mimiko Fukuda, a former karate champion who holds a remarkable record in the sport. More than 7,000 business leaders have participated in various events organized by Sanbou, and this workshop aims to equip entrepreneurs with essential conditioning techniques to thrive under pressure.

The Pressures of Leadership

Today's business environment is often characterized by long hours, back-to-back meetings, and constant decision-making. Leaders frequently push themselves through sheer willpower. However, the reality is that the quality of our decisions is heavily influenced by our physical state. Poor physical condition can lead to conservative decisions born from fatigue, while stress can cause rushed and careless choices. Making critical decisions when feeling unwell can, in fact, pose a significant risk to business performance.

Mimiko Fukuda understands this concept intimately. Starting her kyokushin karate training at age 23, she defied expectations to become the All-Japan Champion despite her modest stature of 158 cm and 53 kg. She attributed her success to relentless practice and a unique skill in managing stress to perform well under pressure—a mindset she intends to share with attendees.

Highlighting the Methodology

The workshop will delve into several key topics, including:

• - Creating Conditions for Decision-Making and Focus: Attendees will learn how to enhance their physical and mental state, ensuring optimal decision-making ability.
• - Breathing Techniques and Posture: Essential skills that help maintain composure under pressure, showcasing how breathing and body alignment can have a profound impact.
• - Learning from a Champion: Fukuda will share her training philosophies that lead to successful habits and dedication.
• - Daily Routines for Entrepreneurs: A focus on simple, effective routines that even the busiest leaders can integrate into their daily lives—taking just a few minutes a day.
