ANCIENT THAI THERAPIST COURSE
TTMA Official Qualification Grade A
Shinya Yamamoto

I love Thailand so much that I have visited it more than a dozen times. I wanted to be involved in Thailand for the rest of my life, and this was the result of various searches. At first I thought of a general store. However, considering the difficulty of business due to the high purchase cost and the rapid change in trends, my interest shifted to a massage that can be done with just one body. Of all the websites I've looked at, the Nuad Bo Rang School in Japan seems to be the most enthusiastic, and I chose the Salon Management Comprehensive Course because it incorporates the curriculum necessary to open a business in addition to massage techniques. . I am currently commuting from the Kansai area, but it is also true that there were various risks before I decided to go all the way to Tokyo. After participating in the hands-on seminar, I thought, "Can I do this?" I am still in the stage of learning the basics, but I am working hard to solidify the basics. I get along well with my teachers, and I am grateful to the school for providing such an environment. After graduation, I would like to visit Thailand again, but I wonder if I can enjoy Thailand from a completely different perspective, such as how to make a store and how to inspect it. I think.

Takao Noguchi

Because I had an injury (3rd lumbar compression fracture), I became interested in the body and obtained a manipulative qualification. However, manipulative treatment puts more strain on my lower back than I expected, and I was worried that I might not be able to do it for the rest of my life. . At that time, I came across Thai traditional massage as if I was guided by nature. I don't remember it well, but as traditional Thai massage is said to be "yoga done by two people", it is effective for the practitioner as well, so I thought that I could make it a lifelong job even if I have back pain. . The reason why I chose this school is the passion for traditional Thai massage transmitted from the website, the achievements of the graduates who have opened their own business, etc. Anyway, something touched my heart. So I went to see it. When I actually listened to the story, I felt that it was more passionate than I expected, and I immediately decided to enroll. The principal and the teachers are all very friendly, and all I can say is that the classes are fun. Also, as I felt after entering, this school is very fashionable. Manipulative school feels like wearing a white coat and being kind of stiff. You're never good-looking. But Thai traditional style and this school are cool anyway! That's why it seems to be popular. . .

FREELANCE THERAPIST COURSE

Miki Nakagawa

From the illnesses of people close to me and from my own experiences, I became suspicious of Western medicine, which relies on drugs with severe side effects. Before I knew it, I was working as a massager. I thought it would be nice if I could live simply with one arm while introducing the importance of the body's natural healing power. At the massage shop where I used to work (general shiatsu and oil massage), customers who started yoga on my recommendation have become more relaxed in their shoulders and lower back day by day. There was a time when I finally stopped coming to the store (laughs). Seeing that it could help alleviate fatigue, I began to think that it would be great if I could not only relieve fatigue, but also help myself take care of my body. Since I started practicing yoga, my body has become really light, and on days when I am too busy to stretch my body, I really feel that my body is stagnant. Even if it's not yoga, it would be nice if I could show you how just a little bit of simple stretching every day can change your body completely. When I went there (I had the impression that the price was high, so I put it off for later...), my body stretched all over the place without trying too hard, and it felt good, and I made unexpected poses. . The non-unilateral treatment style, in which the practitioner does not get tired and becomes healthy together, is also wonderful, and I really want to study it! ! I started looking for a place where I could learn properly. As I researched it, I learned that it was related to Indian medicine, Chinese medicine, and yoga, and I wanted to learn more seriously. I was hesitant about studying in Thailand, but I wanted to learn not only about techniques and procedures, but also management and service aspects, so I decided to go to this school because it seemed to be able to teach me the most detailed things. decided to go. I'm still at the stage where I've finished the basics, but every time I listen to the principal's talk in practical skills and customer service classes, I realize how important the mind is rather than technique. I want to learn a lot of techniques, but I was ruminating on myself that it shouldn't be my goal. Also, I felt it during the trial enrollment and it was a deciding factor for me to enroll, but I think that this school attracts people who are very enthusiastic about research. Since I entered the school, I have received a lot of information about massage that I wanted to know and new information from everyone at the school, and every day I am motivated to study. For those who suffer from chronic symptoms such as stiff shoulders and lower back pain due to lack of exercise and a lot of the same posture, stretching to improve blood flow by moving in the direction of non-moving is very effective. It's quite difficult to get used to it. By receiving a Thai massage, you can feel that your body can move in this direction, and if you stretch it out in this direction, it feels good. I hope that you can feel the possibility of moving and stretching your body (although stretching techniques are not everything). While enjoying practice and research with everyone at school, I would like to continue to study and refine my senses so that I can provide wonderful time to my customers as a therapist.

"Traditional Thai massage will become a business." At first, I decided to start a business with such a motivation. When choosing a school, I thought that as long as I could learn the basic skills, everything would be the same. The first is the passion of the instructors and students for traditional Thai massage. I learned for the first time after taking the course, but the traditional Thai massage is really deep. Even so, in the lectures, both the instructors and the students are having fun while learning the techniques really hard. Seeing him like that made me want to join the group. The second is the impression I got when I received a traditional Thai massage. During the hands-on seminar, I received a massage from the instructor and students, and I was so moved by how comfortable it was that I started to think, "I want to be able to do this kind of massage!" The third is the support system of the school. I myself had a lot of anxiety about going independent in a field I had absolutely no experience with, but even though I hadn't enrolled yet, they really spent a lot of time asking me for advice. Also, in the Salon Management General Course, which I specialize in, I can learn the knowledge of management necessary for opening a business, so I felt that this is an absolute advantage that other schools do not have. Even if you actually enroll, you can take the course at your own pace without difficulty, and if you do not understand even a little in the lecture, the lecturer will teach you very carefully. Now, my feelings have changed to "I want to create a shop that can impress people through traditional Thai massage."
