Day 5 Video: Hakuho-Homasho. Hakuho had a crystal clear plan for 
Homasho. Harite-slapdown-lunge-slapdown-lunge-pushup. The slow motion 
replay shows how efficient his plan is, and how not for a fraction of a 
second is he undecided on the next step. Homasho on the other hand is so 
busy defending he cannot make the slightest move. Hakuho shows here his 
own style of non-mawashi sumo, not a rhythmic sequence like Chiyotaikai 
(easily defeated if the rhythm can be anticipated) or a 
step-and-thrust-step-and-thrust style like Miyabiyama, but a mix which 
is his own.

(Technical note: do not attempt to put links in other web pages or the 
sumo forum which go directly to the videos or pictures on my site. I use 
a path obfuscation method which will almost immediately render any 
external links invalid. People will click on your links and get a 404 
not found message.  Instead, use links to the web page, such as the link 
below. I have to use this method to control traffic.  Otherwise, people 
browsing my site may be delayed by downloaders who have not visited the 
site at all, and may not be aware the site even exists.)
