Training Exercises

[Guest Napravit]

Hi everyone! I'm new in this forum and I would like to ask some question if someone want to answer. I'm from Sweden and playing american football, wich is very similiar to Sumo Wrestling in starting position, explosion and attacking.

Now to the question, How does Sumo Wrestlers train in practice? Is there any typical exercise in explosion, punching, speed, power..? Would like to improve myself in a similiar sport in many ways.

My best regards!

We usually talk about this stuff in the Ama-Sumo section. I had similar questions a while back and the Health Exercises and Shiroikuma videos are the cornerstones. There are lots of things to learn from watching Keiko morning practice videos too.

Where do you find that "Keiko morning practice videos" ?

Welcome to the forum. I think you picked the right section for your question.

Thanks! Are there any speciall exercises they do in the Gym? That are very typical for Sumo Wrestlers. Explosions and Balance?

punching

"punching?" them sounds like fightin' words to me......

Oops, not what I meant. If you're looking for similar topics, you'll have better luck finding them in the Ama-sumo forum rather than the Ozumo one.
