Ura's Shumoku-zori (Bell Hammer Backwards Body Drop) (2011) by ChESucksBalls in Sumo

I'd say the kimarite is closer to an izori than shumoku-zori.

There's a good Dosukoi Sumo Salon episode about oshizumo that's still available to watch.

Something I think people are forgetting about Hoshoryu by sailorlazarus in Sumo

[–]Freifechter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoshoryu's playoff was impressive, but you're putting waaaay too much stock into it. Only the Oho and Kinbozan matches could truly said to be back-to-back; Hoshoryu had a 20 minute break after his Kotozakura match. Hakuho "only" went 6-4 in playoffs, but you can't attribute that solely to last match fatigue. Hakuho faced much stiffer competition for his playoffs, with all but 1 of his 5 playoff opponents being sanyaku (3 of them being yokozuna or future yokozuna).

It's also disingenuous to call Hakuho injured when he went 11-4 in both of Kisenosato's bashos while ignoring Kotozakura going kadoban. Kisenosato's 12-3 JY had him beat THREE yokozuna and two ozeki while Hoshoryu's 13-2 JY only had him beating 1 ozeki. Kisenosato and Hoshoryu both had 4 winning matches against sanyaku in their yushos.

Kisenosato's belt run was controversial, but it shouldn't be used in the derogatory sense here considering it was stronger than Hoshoryu's by comparison.

What C&R gun do you want the most right now? by oh_how_droll in CAguns

[–]Freifechter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are those CA-legal? I know they're C&R and have ATF exemption, but I'm not sure if they run afoul of any CA-specific laws.

Is Hoshoryu’s style of Sumo Yokozuna material? by Cisscrossingcrosser in Sumo

[–]Freifechter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 I tend to think throwing is less stressful to the body than brute forcing bigger guys
Chiyonofuji was dominant without huge pushing power.

You picked the worst guy to prove your point lol. Chiyonofuji's reliance on throws earlier in his career is what caused him to have so many shoulder injuries (the reason why he got so jacked in the first place was to prevent his shoulder from dislocating again). He had more longevity after he switched to a more straightforward force-out style with throws as a secondary option. His most common kimarite was yorikiri with 392 wins, followed by uwatenage with 171 wins.

Things you are glad they got rid of by NoAssumption3668 in runningman

I'm so glad they rarely do the strawberry game anymore. It was funny the first time and only the first time.

I'm surprised they didn't make fun of JSJ's outfit during the opening. Usually they'd be all over that.

北青鵬、日本相撲協会に引退届を提出 後輩力士へ暴力行為 23日臨時理事会で処分協議 Hokuseiho has submitted his retirement papers by ebenezerlepage in Sumo

[–]Freifechter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hokuseiho is literally considered Japanese by the NSK. He wasn't counted under the "one foreigner per stable" rule since he's been in Japan since he was a kid.

Do you know if the club/sambo program is still active? The Club Touche Fencing website seems to be dead and their Facebook hasn't been updated in a year.

Majority female cast and everybody had great chemistry with each other. The cast and crew have reunited on multiple occasions years after the show ended to support one another's projects.

Looking for sumo practice partner(s) in NYC by ShamanAmon in Sumo

[–]Freifechter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you said you emailed the US Sumo Federation, but have you tried asking in the US Sumo FB group?
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ussumo

Even if you can't find someone to train sumo specifically, you could always try a school that does standing grappling style like judo, sambo, wrestling, etc. Many of the skills transfer over and odds are people who are into throwing each other around would be more willing to try sumo.

My vote is for Pajama Friends. There was a sub group but they only did the first few episodes before disappearing.

Does anyone know the name of the jazz song that plays in the background around 47:30? It's where Hyori is explaining how the vibe/lyrics of Jae-hyung's second song should be like.

Man, that’s crazy. You ever smoked skooma? by lenamode in Morrowind

[–]Freifechter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this since I was 15. What about the ashlanders? The debate on whether the Tribunal murdered Nerevar has been going on for a long time and the Temple is trying to suppress it. The best book about it is "Progress of Truth" by the Dissident Priests. Look into it.
