I never see it televised in the states or i'd give it a shot Yeah, I would've gotten into it a lot sooner if it got any kind of advertising, and I don't even watch tv. Exciting times for sumo. Hakuho is the GOAT in the literal sense, no one else has ever beaten a thousand other men at the top division before, and that's just one of a dozen or so records he holds. And you know that's legitimate with no caveats, because sumo hasn't changed in centuries, for better or worse. Tochinoshin went through some shit with his knees, but he's famous for his sheer strength, where he will lift other 400lb men and just carry them out of the ring. They can't punch but they give concussions with those fucking slaps. The ring is an old type of clay, and falling on it isn't much different from falling on concrete. There's no weight divisions: A newbie, the lightest of the top rank, still managed to ring out a man 86kg heavier than he is. Nnngghhh I think I wanna be a sumo sometimes. I've incorporated the stomps into my warm ups. --- [break the meta] https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU <cite>Guide posted [p:921820602] in Why don't ...

They're fat because having weight is very useful when it comes to stability and moving other entities, and also a significant defense against impact. Also, the copious amounts of food they consume helps them build muscle, and bone density. Their fat bastardness is very different from a nonathletic fat bastard. They're all super ripped under that fat, and they train nearly all day every day. They gorge themselves and then sleep immediately specifically so they develop their fat, and that fat is actually tougher than normal fat. Also, they have no internal fat.

Like I don't understand the implications of an underhand grab compared to an overhand one. I'm glad it's caught on, I hope it brings more attention to sumo. Overhand and underhand are just the position of your hand relative to your arm. Really, in Sumo, an overhand grip is just when you reach out and grab the back of your opponent's mawashi, and underhand is when you grab the front.

There are no ties in matches. They go until there is a winner and loser. No redos or postgame adjustments. Because of the odd number of days, and no ties, you are essentially forced into going up or down the ranking chart.

They just come out of nowhere and then it's over. No limp body continuing to get pummeled like in MMA</quote> There are a few roles in sumo are a dedicated craft that you take on for life via apprenticeship. This includes the referees and sumo barbers. Only the top ranked guys handle top division sumo. Just a few old men in the world are allowed to give those sumo that distinctive ginko leaf style.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Like Hakuho is Mongolian I believe right? There's been a trend of Mongolians dominating sumo, ever since foreigners were allowed. Of course it was controversial at first, but people have adapted, and sumo fans love their champion yokozuna. Tochinoshin, my favorite rikishi and possibly the best lifter in Sumo, went through some serious injuries and recovery since September. His return to form was met with high applause, and he has a notable fanbase. Should be noted that all current Yokozuna are Mongolian. --- [break the meta] https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU <cite>Guide posted [p:921889869] in Why don't ...

When I lived in Japan I went to a stable (gym) to watch the wrestlers train. It's tough to work your way up in the stable.
