Hello everyone I have a report from Moti:
Training at Takasago has commenced. Asashouryuu had 17 bouts against
Asasekiryuu and lost three of them. He was seen giving up morozashi at
the tachia-ai, proving that his tachiai still needs work. OTOH, when he
started off well, he was quick on his feet and cleverly devious. "Not
bad at all..", he said of his vigorous and vital start. At one point,
after executing a left uwate, he went to put on an elastic supporter on
his old wound-the left elbow, worrying those around him. "I'm OK. I'll
do my best to avoid injury", he reassured everyone. "I had a great New
Year's holiday. I ate mochi!!", he added. Asked what his goals for Hatsu
were, he replied: "Nothing unusual.. I'll just gambarize!"
As you can plainly see, not much going on at the moment..
