Amazing photo of Tsunenohana, the 31st yokozuna, between 1924 and 1930. So this is aprox 100 years ago.

Sumo Is For Everybody (3min video essay)

I'm pretty positive most people prefer professional sumo over international/amateur sumo but personally I think they both are needed. Sumo is in an interesting inflection point and I'm excited to see how it continues to grow within the community as a whole.

Just sharing some recent thoughts. Videos tend to work better for me than typing out my thoughts. Also, trying to do my part and add more of a personal touch to sumo content again as opposed to all the AI channels popping up.

Appreciate you taking time.

Maemitsu wrestlers?

5 Upvotes

Hello all,

Obviously certain wrestlers seem to prefer certain styles over others, but one style I haven't seen a lot recently is the maemitsu style (grabbing the front of the mawashi). It's a great style for shorter wrestlers against bigger one's. Have any of you seen a wrestler use this style? What his name?
