  • Pavel Bojar is the first man from Czech Republic to join Japan Sumo Wrestling. Takanoyama had trouble gaining weight during his career averaging 80-100 kg which became a problem when climbing the higher ranks of sumo. He usually gets overpowered by a bigger rikishi due to his light frame, but Takanoyama uses his speed and judo skills to outmanuever his opponents.
    Here are some of the best finishes of Takanoyama Shuntaro in the Makuuchi Division, I made a simple breakdown of each technique. Hakkeyoi!!!

      @@ericmelissabrown5782 sumo is a very niche sport, and the fans are indeed very, very passionate about it. Hell, so passionate that they fight for front row seats where a 600 pound guy can fall on you lol… on a more serious note, they understand the dedication that it is to compete at such level and the physical sacrifice these guys have to make. Even if I had the body I would never put myself to such a diet and lifestyle, it’s beyond any sport I’ve heard of. Wrestling come in second, but sumo is definitely something that Japanese people admire, and even tho cheering is considered impolite, when crazy things happens like a guy half the size of his opponent overpowers him they can’t help but show joy and respect, even if it’s against etiquette, and they are the most respectful people in the world, so they don’t cheer very often but when they do they really mean it :)

    Takanoyama was stuck at the top of Makushita (the 3rd-highest division, just below the salaried ranks) for years, never quite seeming able to break into Juryo (the 2nd-highest division and the lowest salaried tier.) His technique was always superb, but his weight was a distinct disadvantage. If he had managed to pack on another 20 kg somehow, he'd probably still be in sumo today.
    As it was, he only broke into Juryo because of a massive bout-fixing scandal. It was long suspected this kind of thing was going on, but it wasn't where anyone was looking: not in Makuuchi (the top division), but in Juryo. It makes sense if you understand sumo culture. In Juryo and above you have privileges, at least one tsukebito (servant), an income, the right to marry and to live away from the heya (stable). But not in Makushita and below. So it should have been expected that some wrestlers were desperate to avoid relegation from Juryo to Makushita and would work to make sure it happened as little as possible.
    When the Sumo Association found out what was going on, they demanded the resignations of every wrestler suspected of being involved. This basically hollowed out Juryo, and rocketed Takanoyama right up to the middle of the division. That doesn't mean it was somehow unfair or a walk. It was likely the bout fixing that had been keeping him out of Juryo for so long. And he was successful enough in Juryo that in his very first tournament he earned promotion to Makuuchi. (You'll see his rank given as Maegashira. This is basically the rank-and-file of Makuuchi, below the Sanyaku ranks of Komusubi, Sekiwake, and Ozeki, with the Yokozuna at the very top.)
    Unfortunately, it was here that he hit his wall. Like I said, his weight was a significant handicap. Its bad enough in the lower divisions, but in the salaried ranks anyone weighing under 100kg is going to have a very serious problem. He peaked at around 101kg but couldn't maintain it. He ended up as an "elevator rikishi", bouncing back and forth between Makuuchi and Juryo for a couple of years before falling back down to Makushita and retiring only about 3 years after reaching Juryo for the first time.

      In one of the previous fights, although he wins, the openente helps him not to fall 6:08 . But they do it in a subtle way, without grabbing the other. Nor is the gesture explicitly appreciated.

    Really amazing bouts against massive opponents using some fantastic technique. But the win-loss records tell the story of his difficulties in the top makuuchi division. I saw many times when Takanoyama was easily pushed out of the ring. I just looked at his Wikipedia entry and was floored by how much experience he racked up in the lower non-salaried divisions before breaking into the salaried Juryo division. He participated in 57 tournaments before making it to Juryo. He did so great in his first Juryo tournament (10-5) that he was immediately promoted to the top Makuuchi division. Hats off to him for a long and respectable career despite his small size.

      But I know they can break or destroy the opponent's sumo life if they want. I only saw it one time and I didn't understand it for years until I saw a sumo manga and understood that was on purpose.
