Kaninoyama 205 Posted August 25 (edited) Notes from Isegahama training camp in Yahiko Niigata (Day 2) -No active sekitori on hand. Takarafuji and Terutsuyoshi were absent due to jungyo, but I was told Teru will be here tomorrow, the final day of the camp. -Keiko participants were mainly younger, lower-ranked rikishi. Despite the heya having fallen on hard times in the last couple years, an enthusiastic standing-room-only crowd braved the rain to come watch. -Newly retired Aminishiki was there, but he mainly stretched at the foot of the dohyo and then lent his chest for some light butsukari-geiko at the end. -Former Makuuchi Homarefuji was there, actively coaching and administering some brutal tough love to young stablemate Sakurafuji at the end. Otherwise no training. -Speaking of Sakurafuji, he has a great body frame, trains as hard as anyone, and always looks impressive in practice. I'm surprised he is still struggling at Jonidan. -Was hoping to get a good look at new upper-Makushita entrants Midorifuji and Nishikifuji, but they too were absent. -Lastly, Terunofuji was there, but activity was limited to his own conditioning below the dohyo. He appeared in good spirits, joking with the crowd and posing for pictures. He's still a giant of a man, but nowhere near the physical specimen he was when he was an Ozeki. It was a bit sad to see him in a dark mawashi with two huge knee braces. Hopefully he can overcome his physical woes and at least make it back to sekitori.

Kaninoyama 205 Posted August 26 (edited) Notes from Isegahama training camp in Yahiko Niigata (Day 3) -Only six rikishi on hand for the final day (the announcer said that about half the heya were nursing injuries), but three of them were Aminishiki, Takarafuji, and Terutsuyoshi. -Among the juniors, Sakurafuji impressed again. If determination and effort count for anything, the kid's got a bright future. -Each time I see him up close, I am reminded that Takarafuji is a towering rock solid mountain of a man. -Taka and Terutsuyoshi had about a dozen matches, and they were pretty even. I gave a slight edge to Teru in terms of performance. -I first "discovered" Terutsuyoshi at the Niigata camp three years ago, when he was still in Makushita, and have been singing his praises on this forum ever since. Even back then his talent was obvious; all he lacked was size and experience. Since then, he has accumulated plenty of experience, but he has also gained noticeable size & strength. He has a real "sumo body" now, and I expect him to continue grinding his way slowly up the bansuke. Edited August 26 by Kaninoyama 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 24,298 Posted October 15 (edited) Chiganoura-beya gets a new keiko ground at its Kyushu location, the Sasaguri town community center. The indoor training ground will be a 1min. walk away, same size as in the heya in Tokyo. Last year they used the outdoor dohyo with roof at a shrine farther away, where rain and wind were a problem. http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20191004/sum19100405010002-n1.html construction under way o o o o Takasago-beya from the 11th till the 14th had a training camp in Kochi city, for the 5th (or 7th in the news with video) time in all, with 14 rikishi, 3 of them like the oyakata from Kochi prefecture. http://www.kochinews.co.jp/article/315808/ One of them is Asanojo, who will become 2nd oldest ever new to makushita next basho o the other 2 are Asanotosa from Tosa and Asaazuma ex-Asanowaka watched over keiko that day o Edited October 18 by Akinomaki 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
