    FYI:

    Takanohana was awarded a bonus of 130 Million yen ($ 1.2Mill.) and the name of "sumo elder Takanohana".

    He is only the 3rd do receive this honour after Taiho & Kitanoumi.
    It is only awarded to Rikishi with outstanding careers.

    Records set by him:
    1.) Youngest wrestler to win the maku****a divison at 16 & 9 month.
    2.) Youngest wrestler to enter the Yurio Division
    3.)Youngest wrestler to enter the makuuchi division.
    4.) Youngest wrestler to defeat a Yokozuna.
    5.) Youngest wrestler to win an Emperors cup at age 19.

    He will continue to develop new sumo wrestlers most probably at his fathers Dojo.

    Cheers.

    Sumo

    We don't really have a sumo thread. This is a really odd opener for a sumo thread, but I had no idea where else to put this. You must click the link for the vid.

    Promo for Glee’s Japan Premiere Confirms Rumor That the Japanese Are Awesome

    Glee is about to make its debut in Japan and just like Americans, the Japanese make promos in anticipation of such events. But Americans don't make promos like this. Featuring two adorably fat sumo wrestling tweens, retired sumo great Akebono and a cast of fly girls, this promo should result in Super Bowl level ratings. As Akebono would say, "So fun, so Fox!"

    A lot of news in the actual Sumo world these days. Asashoryu is once again on the verge of being permanently retired for his brainless antics.

    now only if we can get the McMA guys to snip themselves... perhaps that would help the image of the sport and make it more family friendly, which would generate more revenue for the McMA industry - creative marketting 101.

    if we could only get you right wing traditionalist to stop playing Dungeons and dragons and stop eating cheetos and leveling your mage on warcraft we could bring the image of TCMA back up to status quo out of imaginary land.

    I've always enjoyed Sumo and had the chance to see some Sumai when I was in Japan centuries ago.
    It is a devastating MA, even in its very restricted sport form.

    You should keep up on it. Some very interesting developments in the pro ranks lately.

    Sumo reminds me of Shuai Jiao, I wonder the connections.

    One opponnent is sport and training, ritual/ceremony.

    Multiple opponents is battlefield exercise.
