[2026.2] The 95th Gokita Juku Tokai Study Group - On Observing People -
I am Yutaka Gokita, representative of Your Best Solution.
Even though you keep learning knowledge and skills,
for some reason, your confidence doesn't build up.
For some reason, you can't attract clients.
I host study groups for those who feel a sense of discomfort or
doubt about their current 'way of being' or 'way of working'.
Regarding the study group for the
mentorship program (commonly known as Gokita Juku),which is the core business of Your Best Solution.
This time, I will introduce theFebruary 2026session of the95th Tokai Study Group.
Morning Session
The venue for this session was in Tokai City.
The morning was for classroom learning.
The 'tuning' of status reports
In the study group, each person is asked to share the following every time:
・What are some 'good things,' 'bad things,' or 'things that inspired you' recently?
・Looking back at the past month, please declare what you will do (or not do) this month based on your reflections and areas for improvement.
・If you have anything you would like to ask (or consult) Gokita (or any of the members), please feel free to do so.
We have them present in this format.
The status report is not just a report, but a time to verbalize the state in which each person is spending their days.
Sharing worries and challenges is
not just a simple exchange of information.
It is a time to 'tune' the 'social health' of the professionals themselves.
No matter how much knowledge you acquire or skills you polish,
if your own state is not tuned,
you cannot provide essential 'health'.
Knowledge and skills are important. That is certain.
But I value this time even more than that.
Nutrition and Dietary Therapy | On Observing People
This year, we decided on the theme of 'Deepening and Expansion' throughout the year,
and we will also be deepening our expertise.
This time, we hadnutritionistMs.Tomoko Hasegawagive a lecture on the topic of
'Nutrition and Dietary Therapy'.
Instead of looking at nutrition merely as 'components',
we observe it including the person's life background and values.
Do not isolate diet alone.
Do not look only at nutrients.
This was the core of this session.
Observe the "person."
Observe the "essence."
This isthe very philosophy of Your Best Solution.
What kind of environment is that person in,
what kind of background do they have,
and what kind of choices are they making?
Without denying or imposing,
we search together for what is best for that person.
To do that,
a professional perspective alone is not enough.
That is why
we continue to exchange "perspectives" with colleagues who have different areas of expertise.
Afternoon Session | Conditioning, Utilizing, and Strengthening
The afternoon is for practical skills.
At Your Best Solution, we provide
"conditioning, utilizing, and strengthening"in stages.

There are many therapists at the Tokai study group, but
Exercise is Therapy.
Therapy is Exercise.
is the underlying concept, and we work onhow to condition the mind and body, and how to make them usable,in our practice.
During the practical session, we divide into groups and work in each group while also having discussions.
I observe the whole while providing points at appropriate times.
Not the local area, but the whole.
Manual techniques are not for intervention, but for conveying sensations.
What is happening? What are you doing?
Understand it with both your head and your body.
Share the perspective of observation.
Taking a step back is also a learning experience.
What is Gokita Juku?
It is not just a place to learn knowledge and skills,
but a place to enhance comprehensive 'human power'
that includes virtue (human character) and talent (expertise and business skills).
It is a place to re-examine your own 'way of being,' 'way of living,' and 'way of working.'
That is what Gokita Juku is.
I myself have continued to pursue the most advanced knowledge and techniques.
However, even by continuing to pursue the cutting edge, I did not reach the 'essence'.
The essence was not beyond expertise, but in the 'way of being'.
By multiplying everything I have accumulated through my own trial and error with what I have built up with each individual member,
I feel that we are getting closer and closer to the 'essence'.
Member Testimonials
I would like to introduce some feedback from our members.
We are also recruiting new members.
Gokita Juku is a place
where it is clearly divided between those who fit in and those who do not.
For those who want to acquire knowledge and skills in a short period of time,
it might not be a good fit.
However,
if you want to align yourself starting from your 'way of being',
if you want to learn the 'essence',
and if you want to polish both your expertise and your humanity,
I believe it will surely be a meaningful time for those who feel that way.
Moving forward, I will continue to write little by little about the study sessions
and the philosophy behind why we continue to hold this space.
First, please try reading a few of the articles.
If something still resonates with you after that,
please come and see the atmosphere for yourself.
We also accept trial participation.

We will not force you to join.
I hope you will make your decision at your own timing.

Our Goals
① To polish both virtue (human power) and talent (professional and business skills)

③ To live freely, live your own life, and be happy, without being bound by constraints such as time, money, or location
④ To leverage each other's values and maximize everyone's potential
⑤ To adopt a future-oriented way of being, living, and working that is suited to the new era
In closing
This place, known as Gokita Juku, is a space where
I myself am also constantly asking questions.
It is not a gathering of people who have reached perfection,
but a gathering of people who continue to ask questions.
That is what Gokita Juku is.
I look forward to seeing you in the next article.
