Kitanoumi Rijicho, riding on the wave of the kosho status reform he is trying to implement, has urged the rikishi do go all out in keiko. "Last Soken, they had around 10 bouts each and stopped. I think the optimal number should be 25-30 bouts. Having only ten or so can cause injury. After 10, when you start breathing heavily and your body responds accordingly, they should continue, not stop. Of course, it depends on the rikishi's age and personal fitness, but 25-30 is the right number", he said.
