Kaikitsune Makoto 210 Posted April 14, 2003 Tomozuna-beya has come back from jungyo yesterday and started hard training for Natsu basho. First few days they train at their own heya and then go to do de-geiko at Takasago-beya where also Kokonoe and Hakkaku rikishi are usually present. Asashoryu, Chiyotaikai and Kaio trained together already before Haru basho and again the magnificent trio hone their skills and update the genkiness of their muscle cells in hard keiko sessions against each other. Tomozuna-beya rikishi train hard until 3 days before shonichi when they lighten the training and do a lot of tuning up and streching exercises in order to be in sharp shape in Natsu. Shin-juryo Tanaka's de-geiko will be different now as he will be having more training bouts against sekitori. Tanaka took his time to reach juryo and in Tomozuna-beya they expected him to get up there much earlier. Sentoryu is pursuing another kachi koshi and is even more motivated now as Tanaka got promoted. He will also do gym training during these hard training weeks. :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted April 14, 2003 Tomozuna-beya rikishi train hard until 3 days Do they do mostly training bouts against other rikishi, or an equal mix with gym/weights work and training bouts? :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
