I’ve joined an ultimate team in Japan. I’m a big fan of the game, and I’m now taking it to a new level by joining a co-ed team to go and play in tournaments. I’m playing on the second team (the fun one!) of the Tokyo Ultimate IKU Ultimate. Team name is Kuru. The people are great and the tournaments are fun. My first tourney was Dream Cup in Fuji City (next to Mt. Fuji). Iku actually won the co-ed division for Dream Cup.
