Sumo

I enjoy watching Sumo wrestling on NHK. Japan has 6 tournaments per year and the Jan, Tournament was a good one. I always enjoy it if the smaller wrestler can come out on top.

I couldn’t agree more - I find Sumo a very relaxing escape from the woes of the world - it puts a smile on my face. Counterintuitively I wouldn’t call it a violent sport. Better yet our local PBS station carries NHK World live over the air, where I happily watch it, old school.

Size, weight, strength, balance, speed, technique, strategy, center of gravity, timing, stamina, rules, . . . . . .

Enjoy watching Ura, who usually either wins spectacularly or loses in the same manner. The Ukrainian is doing very well this tournament, having beaten the Yokozuna (Hoshoryu) in a previous match.

Aonishiki is really impressive, it's been a great tournament so far.
