Popular Post benqui Posted January 9 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 9 Advertisement (gone after registration) Today I visited a Sumo training in Tokyo and it is really very hard for theses guys. There are 400 Sumo fighters in Japan, 70 of them are professionals and earn money. The rest live and train together in staples and they do not earn money and are not allowed to marry. It is really a very hard live for theses athletes. All photos were taken with M10-P, Novoflex adapter and R Vario Elmarit 28-90 zoom. Warm up: Welcome, dear visitor!

It has about 10.000 calories and is eaten with rice and beer to increase calorie intake. Oh yes! And as far as I have understood the wrestlers eat only chicken meat, no pork, no beef no fish during the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google: "watching a sumo stable" There is an area where viewers can sit (for 2 or 3 hours) on the floor. One must be silent the entire time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot Brent!! vor 20 Stunden schrieb Steve Ash: Awesome series. How did you get access? You can get access to the Sumo training without any problems. During the training you are not allowed to talk and you sit on the floor. It is not allowed to touch the ring with your feet or to point your sole of food towards the ring. vor 18 Stunden schrieb stuny: Google: "watching a sumo stable" There is an area where viewers can sit (for 2 or 3 hours) on the floor. One must be silent the entire time. There are different providers for different stables. We had the best experience with wabunka (www.wabunka-lux.jp). There is a guide who tells you everything about Sumo before the training starts including what to do and what not to do. Furthermore you can write some questions on a panel during the training. vor 14 Stunden schrieb Sparkassenkunde: A truly striking series!
