Thank you for this information Chris, it deepens my understanding of this sport. I especially, like so many of your other subscribers, like your coverage of all of Sumo and not just the salaried levels. And yes, I am having fun being informed like this: Conscise, with lots of examples and diving deep into the roots of the origins of the technique names. Promise me you'll stay here, with us, for many years to come and I'll be happily watching everything :-D (I will anyway)
Oftentimes when I really like something I start to worry what I'll do when it's gone. This channel is one such case. The videos are so good I hope it will go on forever!
So ive only really, as of the May tournament, become a fan of Sumo...and ill be the first to admit i know nothing of the sport. This, and the last video (as well as other recaps on your channel over the last couple of months) have been amazing. Thanks a lot and keep rolling out the amazing footage and information :D
Thank you so much for this video. So informative. Your explanations make it easy to understand the etymology and how the technique is utilized. Keep up the amazing work
Thanks Chris, I've been getting into watching sumo and I've learned a great amount by watching you. I also prefer your style of delivery. Maybe an explanation of the role of referees in the sport will do some good too?
Would love more Japanese lessons from you. Like names and meanings around the buildings or ranks or clothes or anything. I have basic knowledge of Japanese (N4), so this is a real treat. Thank you.
That’s very odd to see Nichonage as a rare technique - it’s quite common for judo, but we can fail and land on our faces safely. Thanks as always; these are tremendous resources!
Thanks Chris. Enjoy your coverage and informative videos. Fell in love with Sump about 2 and a half years ago and has almost surpassed my love for Moto GP......just kidding...gonna take alot to knock GP out of the ring!!
Thank you so much, Chris. I have begun learning Japanese. I have been wishing someone would create a sumo focused study guide similar to the manga series. I love sumo quite a bit more than reading manga. I have heard that one of the strategies for learning a new language is to make it personal to you in some way.
It seems to me that Yorikiri should be split into three categories: a one handed belt grip yorikiri; a two handed belt grip yorikiri; a free handed yorikiri. These appear to be quite different techniques some wrestlers like Shodai and Mitakeumi rarely grip the belt for their Yorikiri. The reason I think this would be useful would be because this distinction would likely be good for analysing which is the more successful technique. It seems to me a belt grip yorikiri is less likely to be counter thrown or side stepped or swiped. Any thoughts?
Hey, so I came across a question I cannot find the answer for. During the lead up to the Tachiai, IF the 2 Rikishi feel in Sync before the final salt throw and face off, they can charge each other without the Gyoji's Shout.... This doesn't happen often anymore but it does happen. Is there a term for if both Rikishi feel in sync before the final Salt throw / Tachiai and charge each other?
Champion work here, spot on. Yet I'm a bit off. All I'm thinking of is the sexual innuendo capabilities here. Yari kiru HaNi? Please... HakkeYoi. Forgive me please.
"Tsuki" is hitting/thrusting, and "oshi" is pushing/shoving. I think what is happening is that the kimarite is determined by how the match is finished rather than the tactics that the winner used to set up their opponent for the finishing blow. I've seen a lot of matches where the winner brought their opponent to the edge of ring with "tsuppari," or thrusting attacks, and then pushed their opponent out of the ring with both hands, leading to the kimarite being called, "oshidashi." This may also also help explain why "oshidashi" is almost as common as "yorikiri." 🤔
The only think I missed was numeration. It would be nice (at least for morons like me) to number the list (ex: 1-Yori Kiri, 2- ....), so it is easier to understand if you are talkinng about a new technique or a variatioon of the previously mented.
That last bonus throw was bonkers! Cheers Chris!
indeed, but i wouldn't advise trying it on Ichinojo
I had to slow it down to the slowest playback speed to see exactly how that worked. Wow!
"Having fun?" Yes... yes I am
This! I thought this the moment he said it.
Indeed.
Having more fun watching this than doing what I'm supposed to be doing. 😄👍 Even if I don't understand any of it.
Videos like this allow people to learn more knowledge about sumo, and can allow them to watch sumo matches feeling more interested and amused!
Thank you for this essential videos, who build lots of understanding for whats going on on the dohyo.
Awesome work as always ! And to answer your in video question: YES we ARE having fun ! And I don't see how anybody is not looking until the end !
Vidéo très instructive. Ce genre contenu manque sur internet ! Arigato !

i really didn’t know which way that last fight was going until the very end... what a move !! cheers for that ;¬)
As always, sumo is art and sumo is life in tandem, the struggle for survival and the expression of prowess.
Videos like this are so important

Excellent primers, Chris. Thank you.
Amazing explanation. I really enjoy these. Thank you.

Chris. This is really good stuff.

So many video’s thanks

Great vid! I always wondered what the names were!
Chris, I would love you to do more Hakuho or Harumafuji memoirs video for those of us who can’t read Japanese
Loving it!!

I'm here after watching Sanctuary on Netflix. Sumo just became interesting to me
Yes we're having fun!
3:34 wow check out tha Tsuppari attack!!! ✋🏻🤚🏻✋🏻🤚🏻✋🏻🤚🏻✋🏻🤚🏻✋🏻🤚🏻✋🏻🤚🏻✋🏻🤚🏻✋🏻🤚🏻👀

A star... A shooting star...
What about when they step to the side and push the opponent into the ground?
Is there sumo with regular sized people?
Last throw almost destroyed his knee
Don’t ask /r/judo what throw was at the end, but if you ask me it’s ashi guruma
I thought you had to have at least one hand on the belt for a yorikiri...🤔
How does Hoshoryu push Ichi like that?!?? Lol
hi, chris!
How can i double like a video?
You can accidentally hit the dislike, and then hit like again. As I just did.
Champion work here, spot on.
Yet I'm a bit off. All I'm thinking of is the sexual innuendo capabilities here.
Yari kiru HaNi? Please... HakkeYoi.
Forgive me please.
どうもありがとうございます
Kinda hard to understand the difference between tsuki- and oshi- :'( great video anyway! thanks.
