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.)
