Akinomaki 39,768 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) I remember well these NHK educational sumo lessons - I have them on video tape at maybe the same bad quality This channel has some other lessons in good quality, from a DVD from the (amateur) sumo association for middle school teachers: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnxySyG-XMdrGGNwhur6aDg/videos Since martial arts lessons became obligatory in Japanese schools, there came the necessity to teach the teachers about how to teach sumo (of which most have no experience): if a school should decide to have it on the curriculum, instead of only judo and then maybe kendo - and others rather than sumo - but maybe the sumo boom will help to get more schools to try it. Especially interesting: the beginnings of sumo Edited February 27, 2016 by Akinomaki 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egparis18 622 Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) National Geographic on Asashoryu The original voiceover has been replaced by commentary in Mongolian, I believe. There are bits of original subtitling in English. The image quality is good. There's Asashoryu doing Asashoryu things, including fighting Hakuho at the end, and there's some amateur sumo, mostly in Bowdlerised mawashi. Enjoyable even if you don't understand. PS When I posted, the YouTube screen was grey, but the video started nevertheless when I clicked on the start arrow. Here's the link just in case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPrygj53yH4&list=WL&index=42 Edited March 3, 2016 by egparis18 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
