If Takanoyama wins against u, it's because u lack upper body strength, balance and technique. Too many sumo train too traditional which doesn't stress the importance of these abilities. If a man 100 pounds lighter than u wins u are lacking these components! All Takanoyama needs to do is put on 100 pounds to rank at the top!
utchari!!! This spectacular technique is only seen very rarely these days but Takanoyama managed to pull it off. Look at the still pics to see why it is so difficult. You need to hang on at the edge, pivot and twist as your opponent tries to force you off the dohyo. Shades of Futabayama!
