>I have understood the core of my appreciation for sumo. It is not the athletics, nor is it the tradition. No, it is the sheer beauty of seeing how it is possible to sculpt the human body and turn it into an elegant and graceful object in the dohyo. Loading the rikishi up with chanko and rice to increase their mass, and then carefully working the human form into such a thing. And to then see the retired elders shed all of those pounds like tears in rain and assume a "normal" figure once again as if it had all never happened. It is sublime, to witness such control over the physicality of the great ape. Only a fool would dismiss them as merely fat. Yes, this is the essence of what gives sumo its mysticism.

It is fairly surprising that Aminishki hasn't coached Dan into using henka against guys like Kinbozan, Onosato & Yoshinofuji who have strong fast aggressively forward moving attacks.
If Dan henkas Yoshinofuji on day two then Yoshinofuji will think twice before going in at full force the next time they fight. Even if Dan loses he will eventually reap the reward of henkaing

Isn't it possible for there to be a double Yokozuna promotion? Like in one basho, one ozeki gets strong JY and and the other gets a strong Y and then in the next basho the results are reversed. Has there been a double Yokozuna promotion before?

Teru will probably recruit all the children of mong immigrants and maybe he will be able to fill out his talent pool that way, but you're probably right, Kakuryu isn't doing anything in terms of recruiting other than getting KiriSHITma and even Hakuho wasn't doing all that much even if he did manage to lure in a few decent Japanese prospects. Musashimaru also never pulled in the top talent, it seems that being a yokozuna doesn't go far in terms of recruiting if they aren't also Japanese

Correct. Kotooshu retired at sekiwake and had the 3-year grace period before getting Naruto kabu just under a year later. That said, him and Tochiazuma are the only ozeki who have had to use this grace period since it was introduced.

The previous Mintaogawa retired so his stock could be promised to Takakeisho when Keisho got demoted the last time. When it was obvious he wouldn't be able to make 10 at sekiwake for the re-promotion, he retired and was formally granted the stock.

More than zero, but not enough that he wouldn't make yokozuna without them. The vast majority of match fixing is the "let my guy get his kachikoshi this basho and he'll return the favour next basho" kind. Even yakuza match fixing was spread across the banzuke to avoid suspicious results, instead of forcing one or a small number of guys.

This would also explain why Hosh is so dogshit against Dan. Hosh uses glasses and I've read somewhere that he doesn't use contacts when he fights. Dan's white skin is so pale that the light that gets reflected off Dan's skin blinds Hosh to the point where he can't see when they fight. Think about it, in All Stables practice, Hosh got a winning record against Dan and the lighting there was shit.

The key is to gambarize, Anon. You gotta gambarize!
Also, if you don't move forward you may decide to pull and that's a biiiig mistake, the opponent will get right in your kitchen and you'll have no answer, that'll be all she wrote.
>>
The biggest mistake amateur sumo make is in the tachiai. You're supposed to basically fall forwards while driving. That's why henkas are so effective even at the top level; falling forwards means you're fully commit. Most guys just stand up then walk forwards and push in amateur sumo. Don't do that.

>You're supposed to basically fall forwards while driving. That's why henkas are so effective even at the top level; falling forwards means you're fully commit.

Chances are the former is what causes the latter.
>>
>>
>>254658
If henkas are so effective then they're going to train to avoid henkas, yes. They don't have crotchety old elders, commentators, and journalists telling them to go harder at the tachi-ai because it's more honorabu, amateur sumo doesn't give a fuck about anything except wins, so they train to avoid the easiest ways to lose. Amateur tournaments are also knockout, which means a single loss fucks you for the entire thing.

Don't worry, they'll get rid of him when the time is right. Its child's play to engineer a heya abuse scandal and evict a mongoyakata from the JSA. My guess is that they're waiting to see how Seihakuho & nu-Asahifuji play out so they can take out two mongs with one stone like they did in the Gluekuseiho situation. Just be patient, they aren't going to lets some mong who names his kid Temujin stick around for too long.

I like the idea of sumo at the Olympics purely because sumo could've been performed in ancient Greece. Fuck all this nuOlympics trash like BMX and fucking breakdancing. The Olympics lasts 16 days. That's long enough for qualifying wrestlers to do a fight at day the same way it's done in honbasho.
Honestly the biggest hurdle sumo faces for the Olympics is drug testing lmao.

There won't be any more mong zunas for a while, Dan's presence will prevent their rise. Check back in 2040 or so and maybe you'll get to see the next one

The seats right in view of Ring A are very unpopular, probably because of that big sign obstructing the action. There are more viewers off to the sides.
In any case, this is at like 11:00 in Japan and the event goes on until 5:30 pm, so it's a sort of sandanme situation

>Still seething about Hakuho

Hakuho's ego doesn't allow him to be out of camera during the main action, and insists that since everyone should be looking at him that's where the biggest sponsors should be, resulting in a blocked view that limits the number of viable spectator seats and looks terrible on camera. Absolute clown show, stupid shit like this is why they were right to kick him out. He never should've made yokozuna to begin with due to his lack of hinkaku.

Not far, I recon. I went to a sumo exhibition a little bit ago that was doing some kind of coop thing with the local sports teams, they invited some of the football players to see if they could out-push the rikishi at the tachi-ai. They would get a good hit but after a step or so the rikishi didn't move at all and then bulldozed them back over. I forget who it was even though it was only a few months ago.
I think there is a big difference in the explosive hit of a tachiai vs a football tackle, it's like a 3-inch punch vs a full jab.
