Asking Jiu-Jitsu women!!Miss universe Nozomi Dai!!

It’s my pressure.

The reason why I started Jiu-Jitsu is the influence of my brother (Mr. Takashi Dai). My brother went to training at the Jiu-Jitsu dojo, so I started the Jiu-Jitsu. I also came to like with pro-wrestling and martial arts because my brother likes it.
 
Regarding the Jiu-Jitsu dojo, at first I was doing Jiu-Jitsu in a circle manner among my brother’s friends, but from the exercise companion there was a voice saying “It is bad  as a free teaching”, so I got a membership fee.
 
At first I thought that I was sorry and had 1,000 yen a month as a membership fee, however my brother became a purple belt and joined the Newaza World and managed it with membership fee of 3,000 yen.
 

As for management, I discussed with my brother. We thought “It is easy for women to join the dojo that women as representatives?” So, the role sharing was decided that my brother as a coach who thinks about practice programs and training menus, and I become the face of the dojo as a representative.
 
Somehow I became a representative, but I was troubled because I could not understand well what I should do as a representative. After much consideration, I came to the conclusion that it should probably attract customers to the dojo.
 
In order to attract guests to the dojo, we decided to conduct publicity activities to make many people know about Jiu-Jitsu and dojo. I thought that the activity as a model may also have a publicity effect and I challenged to enter Miss ID.
 
As a result of such circumstances, the activities as a model are the purpose of advertisement and attracting dojo, not the main business.
 
However, when I do model activities, my image of the model becomes stronger than Jiu-Jitsu, so I’m in trouble unexpectedly that there is a person who thinks I am doing Jiu-Jitsu for shape-up purposes.
 
That is wrong！
 
There are various linked by fate and model activities are fun, but originally I was a shy personality and there was resistance at first.
The main activity is Jiu-Jitsu!

There are 5 members.
2 purple belt(inc. me)、2 blue belt、1 white belt.
 

 
Men belong to more than double the number of women, but they are still small dojo. The members are students and workers and there are a lot of twenties, so I adjust the practice time according to everyone’s schedule. I and the coaches are participating 5-6 days a week.

I feel that the number of people secretly doing it for shaping up and dieting purposes are increasing. Such a person does not go out to the competition, so it does not touch everyone’s eyes much at the competition venue.
 

 
Would not you see the woman unexpectedly when you see the instagram of another dojo?
I feel that women are increasing surely just because they are not noticed.

If there is an opponent, I usually participate in the competition once a month. I usually work at a fitness gym. We have received expedition expenses from athlete department of the company. It is part of my job to appear in the competition.
 

 
Unfortunately the adult women in the color belt often have no match when they are small tournaments, but I will go to anywhere as long as If there is an opponent.There is also such a thing, I actively participate in the competition in Tokyo. In that case, I train at Newaza World Shinagawa.
 
I have not gone overseas competition yet but I think that I would like to challenge someday to Mundial after consulting with a coach.

It is fun.
The result of the competition is clear and easy to understand, and I like places where no one can complain.
 
It is criticized if you fight with people on a daily but in the competition I am praised that it is “amazing!” It’s a weird, is not it? Do you think it is strange if you think calmly that people are choked and praised as wonderful?
What do you think?

I have had a bad feeling.
 
Previously, when I was injured in a competition, I was told from the players in other dojos “You are a model so you do not need to be rush.” I am angry with the said one  “You are a model”.
 
I am not a model!! Jiu-Jitsu women!!
 
I was smiling at the moment as it was the representative of the dojo, but I was annoyed.

Men who spar with force are scared of being injured. I feel that this tendency becomes strong especially when women are color belts.
 
Previously, during training I had been lifted from both legs on his shoulder and power bombed. I could not move a while.
 
I know the feeling that they do not want to lose to women, but sparring is just a practice, is not it?
 
Since the purpose is to improve each other, do not injure your partner. Considering the physical difference, you can control the force and practice to not injure your partner. I want a man to have a generous that he can lose without worrying about winning or losing. It is more popular with women .
Would you let them guide gentlemanly, so that you can practice your partner with skills if you have differences in ability or physical disparity, since you can repair what was done later. Especially in the color belt I think that should be so.

There is a problem of smell. There is no one who does not wash the Jiu-Jitsu clothes, but there are occasionally people who smell with musty. It will not smell if you dry it properly, so you will want to be careful in order to practice feeling well.
 
There is also sweat problem during practice. If you are doing many sparrings you will be sweaty but wiping frequently with a towel or wearing a rush will prevent your Jiu-Jitsu from getting wet with sweat. I think that there are many people who feel that they are disgusted with Jiu-Jitsu which are wet even between men, and the person himself should feel bad. I want you to take measures for yourself as well as for practice companions.
 
I think that it is included in the contract in every dojo, but even in my dojo, I stated the smell and sweat problem in the regulations.
 
Attention to friends who practice together is important, and men with a smell that has a sense of cleanliness from the viewpoint of women are just good impressions.
 
It is enough for men to have “attentive”, “cleanliness”, “nice smell”! I do not want any more!

Thankfully, somebody called “Are you Nozomi Dai? I saw Miss iD”.
 
Previously, I appeared on a TV program (Koji Imada’s Fukuoka beauty girl hunting tour 2017/8/13 broadcast), but at that time Facebook’s friend request and message became full. Judging from the profile picture, there were many people like martial arts parties. Of course, there is resistance to connecting with unspecified number of people who have never met, so I am afraid that I did not accept these offer.
 

 
Regarding TV appearances, the reason for appearance was an increase in dojo members, but there were many people who were interested in “me as a model”.Things that were not originally advertised became publicity. I realized that it will not be exactly what I intended, even when exposed in the media. Regarding how to utilize media, it is a trial and error learning.

I was invited from a friend and entered Miss Universe Japan Fukuoka. I am very sorry for those who are seriously working on the model and those who gave a heart and soul into the Miss Universe, but the purpose is the appealing Jiu-Jitsu and my own dojo that is same as model activity.
 
Miss Universe is a well known and has a lot of sponsorship, and can appeal Jiu-Jitsu and dojo most. I am a particular person among the Miss Universe.
 
There is no muscular person like me.
 

 
Muscles are often topic in conversation alike “What name of this muscle?”

Yes that’s right.
The principle of Miss Universe is “creation of opinion leaders that will be the standard of all women beyond the frame of Miss contest”.
 
It is also evaluated not only from appearance but also from the viewpoint of “intelligence, sensitivity, humanity, honesty, confidence”.
 
I think that all of these are included in martial arts including Jiu-Jitsu.
 
However, what I want to appeal more than that is that you can make it dressing up and make up even if you are doing fighting and Jiu-Jitsu, you can make it cute that you can be enough to live like a woman.
 
I want to solve the misunderstanding that when I do fighting sports, the body becomes muscular and not dressing up.

As I mentioned before, I would like to change the wrong image for Jiu-Jitsu and fighting sports in the medium to long term.
 
“My body got too much muscles and I could not wear clothes.”
“Fighting sports are dangerous When I get hurt”
“It is not suitable because the physique is small.”
“People who are doing fighting sports are rough and scary because there are a lot of rough people”
 
I want to solve these misunderstandings about fighting sports and improve the image of Jiu-Jitsu and fighting sports.
 
Needless to say, it is not easy for myself to change the perception of the world women. What I can do is to keep on disseminating myself. Also, I think women who are doing Jiu-Jitsu and fighting sponsors will encourage them to challenge the place where everyone like Miss Universe knows.
 
Every year if a Jiu-Jitsu women or fighter is challenging Miss Universe, I think that the perception of the world will change somewhat in ten years.
 
And one day I want a Jiu-Jitsu women to become a person who is said to be a symbol of a woman. Of course, that may be not me.
 
In the long term I hope that the perception of the world should be changed like this, and in the short term I hope to have more members in the dojo.

It is easy for people to misunderstand the image of the model activity preceding, but the model is not doing Jiu-Jitsu. Those who are doing Jiu-Jitsu and fighting sports will understand that Jiu-Jitsu women is challenging the model!
 
Of course, I am aware that there is not enough competence to meet the titles of Newaza World ISC as a Jiu-Jitsu women. However, since we are working diligently on Jiu-Jitsu please support me!
 
Also, Miss Universe Fukuoka’s net vote will start. The voting period is from 17th November to 30th November 2017. I am thinking that I would be able to contribute to the Jiu-Jitsu world, so if you read this interview article and you can sympathize even a little, I would be happy when you vote.
