The first time I see a good American rikishi! That small guy is all skills!

Great job takeshi! Can’t believe Constantine beat byamba, ridiculous!

damn, anything can happen in sumo

アメリカ相撲オープン素晴らしいですね。日本の大相撲とは一味違った迫力があって面白いです。

Amazing!

Good editing and commentators, I like that the editing has slowed down. 5:55 this match was so clutch! 9:42 never seen this move before, didnt know you could do that in Sumo. Nice technique! Great Sumo in the Open-weight division!

9:42 It's a technique called "susoharai" and it's sometimes used in professional sumo. Pro wrestlers Goueidou or a few years ago, Tokitenkuu use(d) it.

Doctor Maxi that’s called ketaguri. And this is susoharai kzread.info/dash/bejne/pWGApMaaYsSYcbw.html

Tekashi has some great hair. Definitely the best looking wrestler out here no homo

Good and interesting sumo matches

A sport in its infancy, hope it gets more competitive. Some wrestlers are showing technical skills.

@RemoveChink I agree. It isn't quite the same without the rituals, the clay dohyo, and the competition isn't as good.

The only issue I have with this Sumo is when the match starts and both wrestlers just kind of stand there and cautiously look at each other..... a full on sumo wrestler would of bowled their ass over in seconds. Though admittedly, I wish I could be part of this..... I live in MA, and even if I didn't go anywhere with it, I wish I could find somewhere that did Sumo for everyone.... I do so love the sport.

Come to japan. I watch sumo matches every saturday. Mostly for heavyweights is in Saturday.

How it feels when it's slippery in this arena?

So are they not allowed to do a proper tachi-ai or what's going on?

Why is their Tachi-ai so weak compared to JP Pro sumo? There is nothing in their rules about it?

Japanese sumo has a professionalism and respect between athletes that is just missing here. The jumping around and screaming should be saved for outside the ring. It's disrespectful to your opponent to celebrate standing on top of them. Dance your heart out after the match, but at least let the other guy stand up and bow, first.

And to me Japanese Sumo looks disrespectful. I am a combat sports practitioner and in combat sports it is totally fine to celebrate, but you gotta show your opponent respect by shaking his hand or even better hugging it out. I hug my sparring partners after each round. I have never seen Rikishi hug after the bout. They look like they take themselves way too seriously to my western sensibilities. Different cultures view respect differently :)

Watch university sumo in Japan. It’s the same thing. Only professional sumos don’t celebrate. You show respect to your opponent after the bout by bowing out. You can celebrate a bit between the win and the exit

Man... watching proper sumo makes this one look like a joke. It's quite cringy.

Darren Pene Junior Pati tbh you can see that the organizer have imporoved a lot by just comparing 2016 & 2017 the floor is still a cloth/plastic sheet (which is also used in smaller cities in Japan and thus definitely okay), which is probably slippier than the actual dohyou but at least it doesn't go loose like in 2016 the ring seems to be foam and plastsc which gives less pivoting than the thick rope when stepped on by a full grown man (these are more usually used by children here) but it's also fine techniques have improved but has a MMA/UFC vibe in it (probably because of the tight pants and the clothes the judge wears), that is nothing unacceptable though, considering that a certain degree of localization can promote culture and sports better

アメリカで相撲協会の後ろ盾もなく相撲普及を頑張ってる人たちは本当に偉いね 本来日本がバックアップしてやるべきなんだが残念ながら利害が一致してるようでしてないのよね 日本は表立っては言わないが、相撲のSUMO化（グローバル化）をあまり望んでない背景があるからね 仮に大相撲が世界的に有名なリーグになって世界中で横綱の名前くらいは知ってるようなメジャー競技になったら相撲協会じゃ管理しきれなくなるもんね 規模の拡大は一見良いことだらけに見えるけど、そうなったら丁髷なし、入れ墨あり、廻しの下にスパッツなんてのも避けられなくなる 柔道もJUDOになり、得たものも多いがその分かなり多くのものを失った 相撲は神事にも絡んでるし、歴史も長く、伝統的な部分が柔道とは比較にならないからSUMOになった時に失うものが大きすぎるんだよね だから普及にも消極的

四角壇上に土俵円陣で立合い尚更に仕切りから真正面且つ真っ向勝負。 それが大相撲の様式美である。ＳＵＭ O との違いは立合いでは双方が 正面切って睨み合い烈しく衝突し・潔く・ぶつかる呼吸に集約される。 其処にこそ小が大を打ち負かす勝機がある。勝って驕らず負けて腐ら ず。相撲道は心技体と礼節を貴ぶ真の精神力を刮目し会得した者だけ に与えられる力士の称号である。

この動画を見て思うことは、日本の相撲は格式を守り、礼儀を重んじ 技の鍛錬に余念がない事が十分すぎる程良くわかった。 そして世界の相撲はその間に確実に力強い進歩を続け 日本の相撲とは異なる新しいスポーツ・格闘技として 見ている者を惹きつけずにはおかない程の魅力溢れる相撲に変貌を遂げてきている。 (日本の場合は国技・神事だとよく聞かされる。) しかもきちんと両手をついて呼吸を合わす所作は、日本の相撲に 勝るとも劣らない・・いやそれ以上に守られているといえるかもしれない。 見ていて非常に見やすいし、綺麗だと思う。 そして勝者のガッツポーズ・泣き崩れるしぐさ・肩をたたき合ってお互いの健闘を称える所作 いずれをとっても見ている方としては、良くやったと褒めたくなる。 外国人だからといって大目に見ているわけでもない。 相撲を知らない外国人選手が相撲を覚えて戦うのは簡単ではないことは 誰もが分かっている事。 マワシ一つで戦う事やましてや女性がそれを付けて戦う事 最初から抵抗がないわけがない。 勿論私も学生相撲だが6年間必死で日々キツイ練習に明け暮れ、 市の大会では優勝するまでに県大会では2位・3位入賞するまでになったことも過去にあった。 しかしながら最初にまわしを付ける事にはかなり抵抗があったのは事実。 マワシを付けるのが当たり前の事と思っているのは日本人だけではないだろうか？ しかしそれも素晴らし日本の文化だし、それが大和魂だと思う事もある。 海外の方のなかにもそう認識されている方が沢山いらっしゃると思う。 それを踏まえたうえで、なおかつ日本の相撲というものを実践してやろうと考え 今日まで鍛錬し、レベルをここまで高め戦い続けてきた海外の勇者たちに 私は感動し、惜しみない拍手と称賛の言葉を送りたいと思う。 これからも素晴らしいマナー・各自努力で勝ちえた技にさらに磨きをかけて 戦う時の気迫・勝った時の喜び・口惜しさを、持ち前の素晴らしい表現力で男女共に 世界中にこのスポーツとしての相撲の楽しさ素晴らしさを存分に伝えていってほしいと思う。 この事は非常にありがたく喜ばしい事だと、私はそう考えています。

nice but professional sumo in japan is better where mongolian sumo wrestlers are the super stars

is this a joke...
