rokudenashi 336 Posted January 28 18 hours ago, Hankegami said: They are the Osaka sumo Yokozuna. I left them out because they belonged to a different association altogether, and I have zero clues about their customs on teaching dohyo-iri. Also, Miyagiyama is definitely performing Unryu there: he's getting up after the squat. Onishiki (D) also performed Unryu, our best known photo of him clearly shows that. Yeah, the reason I said “possibly” is that Shiranui begins with one arm in, one arm out, so it’s not really possible to conclude their style from that picture alone. There is also a picture floating around of Ōkido striking that pose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hankegami 576 Posted January 30 (edited) Some precious footage from Youtuber Sumo Flashback, uploaded just yesterday. The video is about the history of the NSK chairmaship, with a lot of most interesting photos and old videos. The most important thing for this topic is his photo of Wakanohana I teaching the dohyo-iri to Wakanohana II (25:19), more the already known photos of Tochinishiki teaching Sadanoyama (28:35), Sadanoyama teaching Mienoumi (31:10), and Mienoumi teaching Musashimaru (43:40). More generally, this video is a small gem for old-ish footage. We also have footage of the kanreki dohyo-iri of Tochinishiki in 1985 (23:13) and Wakanohana I in 1988 (25:59), which I never saw before personally.

rokudenashi 336 Posted January 31 Some rather strong evidence to suggest that Wajima wasn't taught by Taihō, but by Wakanohana I https://twitter.com/OneLoveLulit/status/1885157784624517451/photo/1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
