Today, we shipped out the last of our KAATSU C3 Bundles. It's exciting that we'll be receiving our first shipment of KAATSU C4 units shortly. At the same time, it's kind of bittersweet, as I started my own KAATSU journey with the C3. KAATSU Canada will be supporting...

Here we are in a new year. Welcome to 2024! This is the first "real" day for many this year, yesterday being spent recovering from New Year's Eve. So, what's new for KAATSU Canada this year? The end of 2023 saw the launch of two new products: the KAATSU B2 and KAATSU...

The 19th KAATSU Symposium was held yesterday, Sunday, December 3rd. This meeting is held in Japan, and the last few years it's been done virtually. Since it's in Japan and held in Japanese, it's not typically been available to non-Japanese KAATSU users. Since I speak...

Andrea was attending a course in Pennsylvania so I took the opportunity to visit with Chris Morgan of KAATSU Global in Boston. We had a great few days, calling on sports teams and therapists who are using KAATSU in their training and treatments. I also got to play...

August found us in Toronto at the annual canfitpro Trade Show & Convention. Personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts from all across the country found their way to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre for this 3-day health & fitness show. This was our second...

We finished off our trip to Japan attending the Sportec show in Tokyo. What a crazy, busy place that was! Hot too. Temperatures were between 32~35°C while we were there. Incredible though. We got to sit down for a couple of days with Steven Munatones, CEO of KAATSU...

KAATSU Personal Training Gym - Adamas Our trip next took us to Osaka. While we didn't have much time in Osaka, we were fortunate to experience an entire KAATSU workout from start to finish at Adamas. Trainer Mari Masuda arranged for us to observe a workout with one of...

Medical Fitness Yamato We were really looking forward to visiting Medical Fitness Yamato. Unfortunately, with the heat being so high, Andrea decided to stay back so I attended on my own. I arrived slightly early and was warmly greeted by Yuichi Nakao, a personal...
