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..
