Osamu returned to Tokyo after the incident in Bangkok. However Sawamura became Japan's most popular kickboxer, so important that his withdrawal led to a sudden drop in interest in the sport. The loss of popularity was so pronounced that kickboxing was trained exclusively in specialty gymnasiums. In gymnasiums such as Suginami Gym, Tatsuo Yamada continued to be able to train, but in the karate dojos, the kyokushinkaikan, kurosawa, seidokaikan, ishi gogyou, shidokan strands were taught exclusively as a complementary discipline. The popularity of kickboxing only returns in 1993 with the appearance of a world championship known as k-1 rules. Sawamura created Meguro Gym, one of the first kickboxing academies. The main kickboxing clubs in Japan were Noguchi Boxing Gym, Osamu Noguchi, Suginami Gym, Tatsuo Yamada, Mejiro Gym, Kenji Kurosaki and Sawamura's Meguro Gym.
