Every toss, throw, pull, push, side-swipe, grab and clothes line, lol... everything has a name! It must have taken years to name every nuance (and then a few more years to get everyone to agree! Lol! You're knowledge of Sumo is really quite admirable Chris! Thank you Sir!
I would not be surprised if some of these names were something that the announcer or some commentator pulled out of their arse when some rikishi did a new move and it needed to be named on the spot. Happens in other sports.
And imo Chris here's where you earn your bucks. Superb knowledge of sumo techniques and perfectly clear explanations. With no pretentious word smithing or biased emotionalism. Drama-free reporting. Finally!
Could you make a video about Sumo striking? Like the open hand strikes used in Sumo to palm strike the face and open hand yoke the throat. And the forearm strike to the face. And head butting the face, head to head. We sometime see impressive knockouts by the forearm strike under the chin.
I think that many prejudices that people have about Sumo could be overcome thanks to videos like yours. Showing the technical aspect of this amazing sport (or should I say martial art?) is one of the best way in my opinion to achieve that goal.
Brilliant excuse to show Enho flinging Akua around half a dozen times. I’ll be rewatching that clip on my deathbed. XD
I love how much information you teach us on your channel! Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos!

This is what happens when your martial art is over a thousand years old lol

@@BRunoAWAY I would go with martial art, but thanks for your answer!
Excellently educational! Aren’t they all!!!
Enho throw is what made me take interest on sumo haha Thanks for teaching us the name!
Great series!
Excellent, as always! Thx!
Sumo rikishi Teppo strikes are very powerful. They train the palms on a large wooden upright teppo post buried into the earth.
great series of videos
I was waiting to see clips of Asashoryu vs Kotomitsuki or Ama vs Goeido when Okuritsuriotoshi was mentioned....
Thanks, but even you couldn't find a yobimodoshi clip? I've been hoping to see one.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your content!
Dear Mr. Sumo, is there an inside leg throw(with hand) which hasn't been performed since 1975???
Okada's rainmaker is a yobimodoshi!
Haha, I was thinking just that! I'd like to see a rikishi match his dropkick though!
