Arrived in Hirosaki. Farthest north I’ve ever been in Japan. Got here just in time for an epic sunset on the hotel’s roof beer garden. Word👍🏾弘前に到着しました。今まで、一番北の日本所でした。綺麗ですね。

First proper Muay Thai session in Bangkok.... and my first time doing any serious exercise in a month. Feeling pretty slow and heavy. Didn’t help that the Coach made me go 5 3-min. rounds. Really gonna be hurtin... can’t wait to go back tomorrow!! 😁😁💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾 Will blog more on it later! タイで初めてムエタイ試して見ました。コーチは五つの三分ロンド頼んだし、今月の旅行から全然運動しなかったり、結構疲れた、笑でも凄くいい経験でした。明日も行こうぜ‼️💪🏾💪🏾 頑張ります‼️💪🏾💪🏾#gobigorgohome #doitrightornotatall #muaythai #chuckjohnson #martialarts

On my way to Bangkok. First flight was delayed due to wind and I ended up missing my connection in Hong Kong for the next flight. Only a few hours till the next one; so no biggie... and no excuse for a loss in productivity. Figure I can get through at least 30 pages of Japanese. Finally on the last level of Kumon now... Gotta slay it till the end!💪🏾💪🏾 And I cant complain about the view 😊 風の問題から始めてのフライトは遅くなって、香港の乗り換えはミスになりました。次のフライトの前に、2/3時間があるので、いい日本語勉強時間になります。頑張ります‼️💪🏾💪🏾

Paid a visit this evening to soon to be Stunt-gym in Owosso, Michigan. All the basics are covered; padded floors, decent crash mat, Martial Arts gear. All @joekras80 needs now is a place@to rig wires, a thicker mat for high falls and a built-to-code Staircase for running falls and he is all set! Super stocked to see this place coming together! Can’t wait to train there in the summer! #chuckjohnson #stunts #michigan #quietflameproductions #quietflame

Just a short video compilation of me working with my son Ty. (2.5yrs). He’s still a bit shy on hitting the targets... but doing well. I didn’t start anything athletically until I was 15, so I always felt like I missed my prime years for development. I want to make sure that doesn’t happen with him💪🏾タイ君に教えるのは大好き❤ 私は15歳まで何もスポーツやってないので、自分のベストトレニングタイムをミスしたのはずっと感じましたので、彼を早いから始めたいですね。💪🏾💪🏾

Just touched down in the Phillippines for an action film out here. Literally got off the plane and went straight to the production office for script reading, and then ran the fight scenes till 11:00pm. Lots of trapping, stick and knife. Very different from what I’m used to, but cool. Leaving for location at 4am tomorrow. Yosh!! フィリピンに到着しました。到着の後に直接アクション練習に行きました。明日、4時からロケに向かいます。頑張ります‼️

Had a chance to meet Tony Jaa’s Muay Thai trainer, and one of the choreographers for OngBak 1. Super nice guy but definately not someone you want to f*ck with, lol. Got to check out his stunt crew performing at Muay Thai live in Bangkok afterwards as well. Fantastic show, great choreography and epic wrecks.

Touchdown in Hong Kong en route to Thailand for a week of work out there. First time being here in over a decade. Really wish I had a minute to stay and play! 10年ぶり香港に着きました。着地はタイから、これは乗り換えだけのに、遊び時間があったらいいなぁ。

Recently I've been obsessed with getting my flying back-kick back. Tight chamber, clean extension, and re-chamber on landing, etc. As one of my TKD coaches always told me, "Perfection is ultimately impossible; but you have to strive for it anyway." 👊🏾👊🏾最近、テコンドー練習で綺麗な飛ぶの後ろ蹴りを集中します。完璧まで頑張ります!👊🏾👊🏾#martialarts #chuckjohnson #taekwondo #taekwondowtf #tokyoactionhero #jumpkick #jumpkicks
