NAGANO - In a surprising twist leading up to the highly anticipated 2024 J1 SUMMIT, MAX-J General Manager Masaaki "Genki" Sano has revealed the existence of a secret training camp designed to prepare the participants for the grueling competition ahead. This exclusive camp, located in the remote mountains of Nagano, has been a closely guarded secret until now.
The Training Camp
Nestled in the serene yet challenging terrain of Nagano, the training camp offers a unique environment for honing the skills and conditioning of the J1 SUMMIT participants. The camp features state-of-the-art facilities, including a high-altitude training center, a traditional dojo, and various outdoor training setups that take full advantage of the rugged landscape. The competitors will engage in a mix of modern and traditional training methods, pushing their limits in preparation for the tournament.
GM Sano’s Statement
During a press conference, Sano elaborated on the purpose and significance of the camp: “The J1 SUMMIT is not just about physical prowess; it’s about mental fortitude, adaptability, and overcoming adversity. The training camp in Nagano is designed to prepare our competitors for the ultimate test. By immersing them in this challenging environment, we’re ensuring they are ready to face any obstacle the tournament may present.”
Sano continued in order to describe the rationale for keeping the camp a secret from the pro-wrestling public, "Given some recent events, we were concerned about security going into the tournament and wanted to make sure that we could secure the location from any malign influences." Most members of the press understood that this thinly veiled comment had to do with the Demon Brigade and, likely, Demon Lord ZENKI, in particular. Given this statement, it is unlikely that ZENKI has been invited to the training camp.
Participants and Trainers
While the full list of participants at the camp remains undisclosed, Sano has issued an open invitation to all J1 SUMMIT participants to attend. These competitors will be joined by a team of elite trainers, including former MAX-J champions and martial arts experts, who are providing guidance and mentorship.
Special Guest Trainers
Adding to the allure of the camp, several renowned figures from the world of pro-wrestling and martial arts have been invited as guest trainers. These include:
