Why Japanese Climbers are so Incredible | Climbing Styles Ep.1

[@katsumasaueno8610]

Thank you for having me!

[@AlbertOkay]

Thanks so much for being a part of this awesome first episdoe!

[@ninjapacquiao15]

So anyone who doesn’t climb V7 or V8 isn’t a climber yet?

[@katsumasaueno8610]

@@ninjapacquiao15 Hello hello. No, you can be a climber at any grade. For me, if you are putting in the time and effort to get stronger and better in climbing, then to me you are a climber. I can't define what you are and what you are not. I am sorry about the confusion.

[@Law_001]

You spoke allot of facts thanks for the different perspective, now I wanna come climb some gyms in japan!

[@Murdog83]

@Katsumasa Ueno thank you for taking the time to share your insights and knowledge with all of us.

[@hollow3951]

yeah every single one of his videos are insane

[@AlbertOkay]

Hope you enjoyed this series and let me know what you think! If you liked it give it a like and a share! For people who are used to the metric units - when I talk about height 5'7'' = 170cm, 5'2'' = 157cm, 5'9'' = 175cm, 5'3.5'' = 161cm

[@evetslon]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours! One thing editing-wise I'd recommend is putting the names of the climbers underneath the clips of them climbing, just so it's a bit more clear for people like me who can't remember American names for 10 seconds, let alone Japanese ones lol

[@bastouflette2552]

Thanks for the video and great content over the last months. It's very inspiring :-) Could it be possible to have the equivalency of grades when possible ? (Eg. V7-V8 here) because there is so much tables from outside/inside/Bouldering/sport climbing... That I'm a bit lost to compare 😅 Thanks again !

[@AlbertOkay]

@@bastouflette2552 I'll make sure to put Font grades as well as V scale grades in the future! Sometimes I forget to put other measuring systems since I'm so used to the ones here in America. Our schooling system made it hard for citizens here to remember that Metric is standard haha

[@bastouflette2552]

@@AlbertOkay thanks for taking into consideration :-) as you get more and more views from abroad, it's a nice touch for us Greetings from France & keep crushing !

[@thesinner010]

Literally everyone except Americans

[@drstrangelove85]

I think Alex Megos recently said: When you have 5 grades in Europe for a bouldering gym and you go to Japan, you have the same 5 grades but two harder ones on top.

[@b0diggly]

I think you really hit the nail on head when you talk about the how American climbing gyms are focused on profit/fitness rather than the actual climbing progression as seen in Japanese gyms. Its a bummer but thats the reality!

[@claudeyaz]

Eh...too many sports are too accessible in the USA. Plus, the country is huge! Being a profit business is the only way that any climbing gym could stay open! Japan has less choice in sports they can compete internationally in. Then you have how limited space is in Japan, especially in cities. It would take an entire gym or field for basketball/soccer...yet only two teams can play at once. While with climbing, many can all use the facilities at once. Plus, you can improve on your own

[@aron7548]

I once seen some amrican kids story where he climbs a V7 which woud be around V5- in Hungary. Now I understand why.

[@yofrankjones]

Then you should open a gym and not worry about profits

[@qriz5]

The biggest difference though is the mentality japanese take towards climbing seeking to get better instead of just getting active. If you are climbing with a goal to actively get better, how your gym grades matters less.

[@gryphon940]

That's not the gym, that's just the mentality, you can have the mentality of progressing or just to workout.

[@charliebarker1939]

This is one of the best produced, insightful, and enjoyable climbing videos I've watched i a while. More of this series please!!!!

[@bongobeee]

I feel dumb...

[@matthewsinclair507]

I'm still going to pronounce his name as "Albert O.K" lol

[@reihanmp]

I was initially a bit skeptical when you raised the idea of Kaizen since many people tend to use the concept without giving much explanation. But you took the effort to try to explain how the idea is manifested in how Japanese climbers train in real life! Thank you for providing an analysis that showcases the real hard work that Japanese climbers are doing instead of simplifying/exotifying them:)

[@sean6387]

I'm British but a Tokyo resident. And my local gym is B-PUMP in Ogikubo (mentioned in the video.) The route-setting is absolutely fantastic at all grades, and it's a pleasure to watch the guys setting new problems. Interestingly, there are almost never any problems that involve a reach that smaller climbers cannot send. And actually, height can be a disadvantage, or that's my excuse. Grading here definitely reflects the Japanese culture of trying hard in ones chosen activity, and I've seen many foreign climbers struggle well below their usual grade. One day I watched Janja fall off 4th Kyu (around v3.) That's why national team members train here, and the gym often has international teams and world-class individuals training too. As I'm a stiff mid-fifties boulderer, Japanese problems can indeed be a challenge, but one can only admire the quality of routes.

[@katsumasaueno8610]

Hello! I would love to climb with you and hear what you think about the setting. Is there a day/time where we can have a session?

[@ChinaTalkMedia]

hats off for taking on a more challenging and ambitious topic, really informative interviews

[@dtniland]

as an American, i dont really agree with the whole "Americans just climb for a workout" thing. for me it is really to have a fun time and get better, and getting fitter is just a side affect. although i did just start climbing more seriously about a year ago, so maybe as i get more advanced it will change.

[@qwaszxjklqwaszxjkl]

Friendship with "Beta Break" over, now "Climbing Styles" is my new best friend

[@cj222100]

[@Unseal]

Just went climbing for the first time yesterday. Got inspired by your videos. The dude at the facility said I did well since i got some yellows, whatever that means.

[@jenfineran]

Unseal that’s awesome welcome to the community if you go back you might want to ask what grads the yellow climbs are

[@Unseal]

@@jenfineran Thanks :) . Going back in 2 weeks. As soon as my hands heal XD. Lost like a square inch patch of skin on one of my fingers and got quite a few other blisters. I only looked at the grade of one of the ones I did, I think it was 5c or 5d . something like that. I'm happy that I lasted the entire hour, my forearms have never felt that sore before ....

[@AlbertOkay]

Thanks so much for going out and climbing! If there's anything I want to do with this channel is to get people out there and climbing. This seriously made my day hearing how much of a beast you were yesterday climbing! Go out there and keep crushing it!

[@Unseal]

@@AlbertOkay Thanks :) . The instructor at the gym knew your channel. I mentioned that the Beta Break series got me interested in climbing and he was on it right away! Everyone in the community online and in person seem super friendly. I even ordered some grip tools and some other stuff to practice how to grip better as an addition to my workout. Are there any good videos online about exercises which help with climbing? I noticed that my biggest issue was knowing how to tension myself when i had to start a boulder in an awkward position. When doing normal ascents my biggest issue was that I wasn't thinking horizontally enough and I was too greedy when it came to ascending.

[@TornadoGod1]

@@Unseal Welcome to the family! I remember last summer when I started climbing. My forearms were completely dead for the next 2-3 days, fun times.

[@colinscottpayton]

I love this channel. I struggled to "see" myself or the many climber friends I have in the U.S. (Midwesterners) described in this video, though. So, a core difference you seem to identify is the Japanese drive to devote all things into climbing whereas in the U.S. people do it for fitness. I'm not sure I understand what that means... It could be taken as trite, like a jog is equitable to a climbing session for U.S. climbers. Maybe some folks see that, but climbing, I think, appeals to a lot of qualities that are decidedly not mindless, not mindless like lifting or jogging or cycling, etc. Not mindless like general fitness. Many of the climbers I know who combine yoga, climbing, and maybe some endurance sport or calisthenics (instead of just climbing to become a better climber) tend to embrace a mindset of "all things are connected, all things conspire to benefit the others, all these intentional activities make me a more patient and peaceful and strong and flexible human." It's like the parable of the fox and the porcupine - one improves by digging deep while the other improves by jumping from thing to thing, but always moving forward. Maybe that's what you mean? To understand Japanese climbers better, I would love to more thoroughly understand U.S. climbing. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the video.

[@superbroadcaster]

I agree with that, although the idea that lifting is mindless isn't correct, I think America's issue in regard to fitness and hobbies in general is that social media has created a culture of clout and exposure, so going to the climbing gym is less about building an effective climbing skillset or even fitness, vs making content for your friend group or followers to see how cool your life is. Every sport and hobby has mindless people in it that do it for others to see, and not their own benefit; climbing, lifting, music, anything. Where Japan culturally passes the US in regards to climbing is the dedication, the regular time actually practicing. Americans can definitely learn from kaizen, but there's aspects of climbing that Japanese climbers can learn from Americans too. I'm new to climbing though so I can't say what they are yet though 😉

[@ericsauber7175]

Oh wow, I remember seeing you crush at all the summit gyms. Glad to see you're making videos now!

I love the subtle shade thrown at touchstone when they start talking about business models that aim to soften grades to bring more people in. They keep on clips at cliffs the whole time. XD

[@TheArmyKnifeNut]

My "reason for going to the climbing gym" is to keep in shape for the outdoors. Bouldering in the gym trains me for lead climbing in the gym... lead climbing in the gym trains me for sport climbing outdoors... sport climbing outside trains me for single pitch trad... trad trains me for multi pitch... multi pitch trains me for big walls. I don't climb to be the best or to compete. I climb for the joy of going places where 99.99% of people will never go, to be in the domain of the birds and insects, to see the world from above. Its never been about "who's the best" for me. Its all about the love of the sport. I can have just as much fun climbing a 5.6 with a novice climber as I have when I push my grades on a 5.10b sport route with my partner or when I'm plugging gear on a 5.8 crack. Just typing this, I have a big grin on my face because climbing is my passion. My worst day of climbing is still better than pretty much my best day of anything else.

[@TornadoGod1]

This encompasses exactly what I love in climbing, to me it's simply about exploring and appreciating nature. I've always been passionate about hiking. Climbing is an additional stop I can make during my hiking trip.

[@michaeloconnor9581]

That was beautiful, thank you. I've been climbing for a year now, only in a gym, though. I had been developing a passion for lead climbing; the process is so incredibly satisfying and rewarding. I can't wait to try outdoors some time soon.

[@AlbertOkay]

So much quality on this channel Needs at least 500ksubs

[@slomo_thesloth6940]

I have met a few of the Japanese climbers because I know their current head trainer and they are all really hardworking. But what really stood out to me is that while training they constantly push eacht other to make problems even harder and to find a lot of different ways to complete each boulder. This is exactly what you showed in the video! Anyways I loved your beta break series and this series is probably going to be just as fun to watch!

I absolutely love these series you’re putting out!! One suggestion I can give, when comparing two climbs at the same time, maybe highlight one of the videos and darken the other out and vice versa? I find that I try to keep up looking at both of them, switching too quickly that I don’t catch what’s happening in neither of the videos and end up going back multiple times. Just a suggestion! :)

[@miguelpt1]

Amazing, amazing video.. I was waiting for a video that would tackle this exact subject and you surpassed all my expectations. Amazing editing. The one thing I would like to hear your opinion about is the relationship between climbers. For instance, on the north face japan's videos you can see how they talk with each other - how they feel on a problem, how their body behaves, what they think they are doing wrong - and they discuss it among themselves. I never see that in european climbers. There is always the mentality "oh, just pull harder" , "not strong enough". In japanese climbers you can see they are students of movement on the wall to the extreme, and they help each other in a different way. I don't know if I made any sense.. V7 - v8 is the average? Damn :O

[@AlbertOkay]

Thanks so much, hope you learn a lot!

[@gidneybeans]

Nice video, Love B-Pump too!!! I think there are 2 main factors to why the average Japanese climber climbs so well. The sheer volume of indoor and outdoor climbing locations available, coupled with the fact that the traditional Japanese diet naturally leads to minimal body fat - meaning it's far easier to stick to the wall.

[@AlbertOkay]

I agree with both of those! Their diet is definitely one of the healthiest in the world. They have also such a strong sense of work ethic which is why they generally do well in everything they do!

[@louistalbot1062]

Japanese gyms are amazing! Although rather confusing if you're not used to such dense setting. I found being 6'6" I could just reach through or just break a lot of tough problems that should have been too hard for me really. I guess there's even less of an expectation there that us tall guys are going to show up.

[@katsumasaueno8610]

Louis Talbot I’m happy that you had an amazing time in Japan! Hahaha it’s very true that we do not expect someone of your height to be climbing at our gyms. In our setting team the tallest person is 183cm, so I think around 6’2”? I’m the third tallest and I’m only 5’8-9”.

[@joshuajoshua7671]

Thanks for the awesome content! Really good insight about the "secret" behind Japanese winning streak. I think Udo and your video about the Japan team really supplement one another. Speaking about Chibatore "animal flow" type of exercises, I think it's getting more popular now. Adopted by Udo (German), William (French) , and Pablo (Spain). Each practice shares similarities and differences depending their target.

[@Pidrittel]

I love the format, and I think this intro is really well thought through. Nice vid! One wish for the future: sometimes I get a bit lost in your videos. When you show two climbers next to each other and want to compare a certain move or so, I often find myself not knowing which move you mean or even at which side I have to look. It would be really helpful if 1) you'd label the videos, e.g. which side is which climber. I am not so familiar with the climbing scene that I always can tell 2) you'd somehow show me which video you are talking about at every specific moment. E.g. by blurring or pausing the other video, or color code them somehow. Ottherwise, keep going! :)

First time ever going to a climbing gym was at B-Pump Ogikubo. Have now been climbing in US gyms for about 2 months and I can safely say that grading was MUCH harder in Japan. I was maxing out at v1+ with a select couple v2s if they suited me and now climbing in the US can do many of the V2s in my local gym and a handful of v3s. There was also a lot more ridiculously strong people in Japan compared to the US

[@lucyreed4452]

As an American, I find my gym special because all the regulars at my gym go there to be better at climbing and it's a huge part of their life. I'm a freshmen in high school and all I do is climb.

[@AlbertOkay]

[@JamesWongLife]

Super interesting video. I climbed in the U.K. for a couple years before moving to taiwan and I have climbed there since. Not only is there a disparity between climbing grades at lower levels, I would say the styles in general are quite different, especially when it comes to big bouldery holds. I injured my a2 earlier on this year and I was still able to climb 50% of routes up to v4 without any particularly fingery moves. However, when I went back to U.K. for a few weeks, anything above v1 required some crimping or finger strength, so I couldn’t climb at all. Also, when the Japanese route settings come over and set in the gyms in Taiwan, everything becomes a grade harder than what we’re used to here lol. Also I feel there are way more female climbers in taiwan compared to U.K. Taiwan does have its differences to Japan though, gyms are a little bigger and some have space for campus boards, moonboards etc.
