Sumo documentary videos

[egparis18 622]

@egparis18: Could you please explain what is going on in those 2 videos?

Now to something completely different: I started watching the german documentation..."allowed is almost everything...hairpulling, hitting the opponent with your fist..." WTF?!?

They are practicing in public. And none of those things mentioned are allowed.

Hello Ogami Itto. I often don't know what the experts are talking about either, but they'll all help if you ask - as Hamcornheinz just demonstrated. There's a glossary at top left on the homepage which I often resort to.

Thank you Hamcornheinz.

@hamcornheinz: Thanks concerning the videos. I know that it is not allowed, i'm WTFing, because they say it is!

You have to "swim" a while before you really get a full picture of anything. A lot of weird information out there, but don't hesitate to ask at all.

Toshiaki Takanohana, Action of legend.(VS KItanofuji, 1972-01)

It seems to be about a historic and very spectacular bout. Enjoy.

There was a re-post of the NHK documentary on Chiyonofuji's 1045 career win record (at the time), a better version is still on YouTube

one documentary (without details given, thus I don't know if the same) about him on this thread is already gone

It's back up:

Half hour program on Sadagotake beya, oyakata, and the Koto-s. It's older footage from several years back , but thought it would be interesting to share. It follows the oyakata et al over about a year starting with two new recruits (now Kotodaigo and Kotozensho), continues on to Kotoshogiku's rise from sekiwake to ozeki, ending with Kotoyuki's Juryo debut.

Documentary on Osunaarashi

I really enjoyed that video. I think it's the first time I've seen a video where a rikishi actively prepares a strategy for an opponent who is known to henka (although I was surprised at who that opponent turned out to be.)

I really enjoyed that video. I think it's the first time I've seen a video where a rikishi actively prepares a strategy for an opponent who is known to henka (although I was surprised at who that opponent turned out to be.)

They ran that on NHK world on Saturday and those were my thoughts exactly.

[egparis18 622]

I hope Osunaarashi's knee gets better PDQ.

[ALAKTORN 346]

I think some of those scenes are from earlier documentaries as I’ve already seen them. Cool to see how Otake-oyakata taught him that doing kachiage against a taller opponent is a terrible strategical move.

Documentary on Yobidashi

Redefining the word "campy"

 

 

[orandashoho 720]

I fail to see what is so campy about this. Perhaps the word has already been redifined without me knowing.

[egparis18 622]

Without my knowing either.

[hamcornheinz 839]

I found the narrator's voice very campy.

[egparis18 622]

I thought it might be that. It just got up my nose.

[SumpaX 23]

I'm happy sumo file posted this awsome doc. about chiyonofuji's consecutive winning record with english subs, thought you folks would enjoy it too!

This is interesting. Be even more interesting if I understood Japanese. I heard the word 'sensei'. You see Chiyotairyu delivering a hatakikomi before his sideburns grew in and lots of training and stuff.

This is an American who practices Karate and has been in Japan for some years. He goes to Miyagino Beya to try out keiko and has a chat with Hakuho and later Toyonoshima. There is also some data collected on Hakuho's tachiai strength by a doctor. It's in English, although they do speak to each other in Japanese and it's dubbed over.
