Hello! Here I am again today with a post about the Sumo ( 相扑) . And last week I went to the center where the fighters train, I went for the early morning early ( about 8:00) to see the daily training, it is not the most interested me particularly, but it's so Japanese, who had wanted to see at least once, and as I have thought to spend money to buy a ticket for a championship (in addition to that right now the issue of the high is a little delicate, because a lot of controversy arose when it was discovered that several fighters have admitted rigging matches and tournaments were suspended and the issue is in press and TV every day) so here I I decided to go see the training as there is free.
Although I do not know much about the Sumo, the basic rules are:
1 .- The first wrestler to touch the ground with any body part other than feet is eliminated.
2.-The first wrestler to make contact with the outside of the circle of struggle, removed.
3.-The wrestler who used an improper technique eliminated.
4.-If the fighter loses his "mawashi" (the "little" clothing that is used during the fighting), eliminated.
are probably more complex rules, but neither know nor want to give the grill with the theme around here ^ _ ~
If you look a bit on the picture above, there are fighters who have white mawashi, and others that are dark, well, those of white mawashi are "senpais" osea, veterans, so to speak, and the dark mawashi are "kouhais" "trainees."
senpais
When fighting, the kouhais were attentive to all, as the match ended (not last more than a few seconds) the kouhais were prepared with a dry towel to wipe the sweat and sand back of his senpai and provide water each senpais had behind him a kouhai at your disposal!
Well, of course, I could go without me out a photo, although they had senpais scowl, so I asked permission to one of the kouhais to take my picture with him Seems serious, but it was nice ^ _ ~
po That's all today, I hope you enjoyed today's post on the Sumo.
Greetings!
