adidas | Five Ten The Life Of Sachi Amma
Follow Japanese climbing icon Sachi Amma in adidas | Five Ten: The Life Of Sachi Amma, an intimate 25-minute documentary from Five Ten. From his early rise in the competition scene—culminating in back-to-back Lead World Cup titles in 2012/13—to a deeper search beyond medals, the film traces how Sachi shaped his identity through climbing and the quiet questions it brings. What makes this worth watching is its honest shift from external success to inner purpose: the moment a champion admits the podium isn’t enough, and turns to rock for something more lasting. With evocative outdoor sequences, reflections on “Who am I?”, and a portrait grounded in nature, it’s a focused, inspiring look at what drives an elite climber to keep pushing—repeating the hardest routes and forging new lines when the real goal is self-discovery.

The Life Of Sachi Amma, is a documentary film about the world class Japanese climber. The documentary tackles deep and timeless question “Who am I?”, and shows how Sachi carved his path to be the man he is now. He first began climbing through competitions, becoming a two time back-to-back Lead World Cup Champion in 2012/13. However he recognised this did not give him any peace or inner satisfaction. After realising this he then switched to climbing outdoors, repeating world’s hardest routes and eventually opening new ones. Videographer: Andrea Cossu
