Monday morning veryyyyy early direction Kokonoe Beya to see their morning training (asageiko)
When i came the training already started
The ne wearing black maewashi are wrestler that are part of the lower ranks
They exercise in fighting
stretching
trying some of the techniks
They put some water on the training ring, because this is mud and this is better when it is not flying all around
On the right Chiyonokuni, that was higher rank but unfortunately went down
preparation before the first hit
On the left you can see on of the sumo hitting a big piece of wood, this is in order to train the arm muscle
Now there are some white maewashi, meaning the higher ranks, juryo and makuuchi
On the right Chiyoshoma, that just got promoted to Juryo!
The one that was hitting the wood was doing it so strongly I was highly impressed!
This training has last for 2 hours. It is always a great pleasure to assist to one of it.
