    Can you tell why rikishis lose?

    I had films of my opponents playing volleyball when I was 14. I am sure they have video of their opponents. They're even on Twitch. Watching the Futagoyama youtube channel, I found interesting how happy was Kuwae to be Mita's tsukebito. I can see it's a great opportunity to learn from a better rikishi who has a similar body-type, but I was surprised that he needs to be a tsukebito to get the best insights, I guess so that Mita accepts him into his inner circle and reveal some secrets? Maybe I should also become a tsukebito to understand what rikishi are doing wrong/right, then.

    An interesting point, especially if the styles between two rikishi are similar. Learning by imitating successful people is a good skill in life. I would be curious to know which of the two questions rikishi actually ask themselves.

    Plus, you get to see poor Stunto being thrown merciless from time to time.

    Unfortunately, I relocated too many times in a few years and I do not know anybody willing or that I am comfortable asking. Is there a way to simulate this alone? I have been watching for a 2-3 years all bashos, but I still have almost no insights into it. I start thinking if I simply watch, I won't get there. Any particular things I should pay attention to at the beginning? For example, is footwork the most important basic or lowering your stance?

    As a relative new fan, it is quite hard for me to understand what the rikishis do wrong during a fight. For example, did the guy lose because he tried to reposition his arm? Did he move too fast or too slow? Etc. There are some channels that explain a bit of this (for example https://www.youtube.com/@migclass) and I tried going second-by-second, but it's hard for me to understand without a commentary. How do you do it? Just watch a lot of sumo? Also, do rikishis understand this? I conjecture that the ones who do move up the ranks quite a bit, at least to Sandame, just because of it.

    You should try some introspection and think how did he, of all people, get there in the first place.
