As it is less than a year before the Tokyo Olympics, the Karate Indonesian national team is holding a pre-camp in Machida, Tokyo. In the city, we are preparing for meals for Muslims, such as preparing meals.
Nine people, including Indonesian Karate national team players and coaches, have been holding a pre-camp in Machida City from the 26th of last month in conjunction with an international tournament held in Tokyo this weekend.
On the 3rd, we interacted with about 130 children at the municipal Oyama Chuo Elementary School, and the children were taught by the players the basic movements of karate, such as thrusting and kicking.
In Indonesia, Muslims account for nearly 90% of the population, so during the school lunch time, Marvo tofu with chicken will be prepared for athletes who do not eat pork. I enjoyed lunch.
In addition, the gymnasium in the practice area has a conference room with carpeted floors that Muslim players can use for prayers.
Ms. Keiko Tomoi of Machida City Culture and Sports Promotion Department said, “Because it depends on the person how much I keep the Islamic rules, I prepared to respond to the person who strictly observes. It was.
“I think it's very important to respect each other's culture and religion,” he said.
At the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year, teams from Indonesia, South Africa, and China are expected to camp in Machida City, and the city wants to provide support in consideration of lifestyle and religion.
