Hey so I'm interested in watching sumo and I only vaguely know the rules. One question I have is how do they decide who puts their hands down first? From watching it seems like when all 4 hands touch the ground then the bout starts. In instances like this video (20:15 if the link doesn't work) is it just a matter of patience? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txBYtfe2ZU4&t=1215s at 24:30 it kind of happens again And they get stuck in one position for like a full minute. That's crazy. ilmucche fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Jan 2, 2020 |

Why is henka regarded with such disdain? I'm watching a video where they say one guy is even expected and known for it. Also the next bout is two guys slapping the poo poo out of each other and all over the ring. Very exciting.

I think that's what's crazy about this. With the divisions you keep dropping down if you don't fight, so do you fight and hope you can scrape along well enough to stay up, or lose matches that would've already counted as losses if you didn't fight and drop down the ranks

oystertoadfish posted:nomo was the first of the modern Japanese players in baseball but I'm gonna be pedantic and mention Masanori Murakami, the very first one, who did okay as a reliever but went back due to contractual obligations and wasn't followed until nomo thirty years later: There was a really sad article about ichiro and how driven he is for baseball because of his dad.
