As previously announced, I wanted to Sumo, the Japanese wrestling going on 21 and .1, it was then too far!
Together with André Henning and it went straight to the past tomorrow los hour. For me it meant getting up at 6 clock ... Well, what you do not do anything good for a show? We did not know how large the crowds will be on the cards and we want to afford only the Unbooked places, we would rather not be late.
We were greeted immediately and a few drummers, who were sitting in a tower and the waiting crowd entertained. However, this amount was not as large as fears and we received a card. The first fight should then go off at 9 clock, but we collected only one time in a nearby Konbini our breakfast.
followed quickly by a few shots outside the hall (always the tourism ...) and then we went even go! 
Fighting clock to 14 amateur fights but were still not look as interesting! We use this skirmish to each other to bring the rules and tactical tricks to date (to be honest did not really know, but it keeps us experts so do not depend to talk shop times!) And we were also very close ran, so early viewers were hardly there. The whole drum is around eh very exciting to watch and that's enough already with the amateurs. Through a book that I got for Christmas I was on the rituals already prepared a little, but live is better! There
So in addition to the ever-changing referee before each fight one of the names of the wrestlers and the stable side (East or West) sings! That sounded really impressive! On the sides of the ring always the stable owner, and former Sumotori any wrestler who sits beside her sit to wait for his campaign or the ring increases in, bowing to the Sensei and almost apologizes for having before him, must by! The very Japanese! The stable owner from coming and also to a meeting in the ring when a decision is not clearly fails.
Then the rituals in the ring. From the book, I know that the stomp of the feet to scare away the evil spirits out of the ring, just as the throw of the 
salt, which cleans the ring and distributes the remaining ghosts. If they sit then compared and show his hands, this is the sign that they go unarmed into battle. By the Shinto priests (the referee) and the Shinto roof over the ring, the whole is something spiritual. And the yokozuna are themselves something like priests and perform certain rituals in shrines. 
The Sumotori eat a special soup with every meal, the so-called Chanko. This there was also lunch for interested and hungry fans. So we could not let escape of course! It was very taste and nutritious! came from 14 clock then the more professional, but still lower ranks wrestlers fighting on the row.
can The invasion of the gladiators in ancient Rome could hardly have been more spectacular and, believe it or not, as at 16 clock, the "right" Fighters invaded and the hall was packed, it was even more violent! 
And the struggle to put in violence as well! On the video you can see the invasion of Yokuzunas Asashoryu:
was the most spectacular and the three of us most anticipated fight of the last but one. Yokozuna Asashoryu of (a Mongol at about 184 cm 148 kg) against the Bulgarian giant Kotooshu (204 cm at about 150 lbs fight weight and year 83! So I almost ...) The Yokozuna could be stingy and decided not to fight for themselves !
madness! To top Conclusion then, the die cutting ceremony and from there was very exhausted from all the sightseeing home!
