03 Jun Ringer Spotlight – Yoshi Kawabata
Yoshiki “Yoshi” Kawabata is inspirational to say the least. The unique swinging style he has developed through years of tireless practice serves as a good example of what one can do on the traveling rings. The explosive power of his swing is incredible!
Watch this short video interview of Yoshi at the Santa Monica small rings:

From a thousand yards I saw this guy with a mad head of hair swinging wildly on the rings just south of the Santa Monica pier. Meet Yoshiki!
