You know what the best part of this is? Everyone was just having such a good time. All the wrestlers were laughing, the football dudes were having fun. I love that.
I'm sorry. It's just far too much but cheeks flapping in the breeze. And the sumo guys obviously aren't that great because they got beat by guys who'd never done this before.
@@Hollylivengood so just like you said “guys who never done this before can beat them” do you think sumo wrestler that is experienced enough would go full force on a someone that is just trying to learn????? And watch the clip again you can see that the sumo wrestler didn’t even try to push him back
Americans vastly overestimate how famous American football players are. It's not just Japan that doesn't know these guys, basically no one outside of the US knows them.
I live in Japan and I think Japan is the ONLY other country that cares about “American Football” lol so many dudes have tried to talk to me about football but idk shit about it haha
Something worth noting is that the wrestlers with the black mawashi are division 3 or lower. The guy that got pushed out while taking it easy was wearing black.
I remember watching offensive linemen from the NFL try sumo in the 1980's as it was on television. Two guys from the Pittsburgh Steelers went over to Japan and did surprisingly well. My college football team was teaching the offensive line sumo techniques when we would try out. Sumo is amazing!
Arashio stable is super popular for its huge windows! plus, the brothers Wakatakakage and Wakamotoharu are top-notch! To have a meal with them is quite an honor, but to then ignore them and banter among themselves is... less than ideal
It's kind of sad/disrespectful even if they don't know who these guys are. They should at least ask some questions. But to not know how popular/good they are is understandable, nobody who doesn't make an effort themselves to watch Sumo outside of Japan gets any coverage of it. It's the same with American Football over here in Europe/Switzerland, people literally only know Tom Brady. American Football is just not a thing outside the US. People who are hockey or basketball fans know the NHL and NBA players. Hockey is high level in Europe so they mainly watch their national league, but all basketball fans watch the NBA. With the NFL people usually know some of the teams, due to hip hop clothes style and some people do watch the Super Bowl, the MLB is even less popular nobody knows any player, but maybe Babe Ruth as a reference from movies, and a lot of people who wear the Yankees or Dodgers cap don't even know those are baseball teams, they often think those are just cool clothes rappers wear.
I find it really interesting how Seth got into sumo from martial arts and still stays so enthusiastic about it without being super into professional sumo
I just realized the painting of the straight up chads sumo wrestling behind Seth lmao. Weirdly drawn fat body’s and then just razor sharp jaw lines with side eye smirks 😂
As a huge sumo fan, I'm so thrilled for your success and wish you flat feet and quick hands for Poland. This was an excellent vid. I love seeing you and some American athletes (wish they were a bit more courteous) appreciating the hard work. Also, are you watching the Basho? Wakatakakage is trying to surge back to sanyaku ranks and about 50 other fun dramas unfolding (drama is pretty standard in pro sumo).
:-( Hoshoryu got injured late in the tournament and had to forfeit. He was in contention too. Wakatakage did well. Midorifuji was entertaining as usual. Love Sumo!
This is like watching a cat play with a mouse. They ave absolutely no idea of what an honor it is to be in the same ring with Wakamotoharu and Wakatakakage. Incredible...
Seeing the Waka bros actually fight is a crazy rare thing. It's not often that the top sekitori will join in these demonstrations, and brothers are specifically forbidden from fighting in tournaments in most circumstances. And yes, Wakatakakage's traps and shoulders are ridiculous!
@@MeanBeanComedy Very big. There is a third elder brother, but he's only in the third tier of sumo. It's actually a really inspiring story. All three are from Fukushima
Makes a lot of sense, I can't understand any coach who doesn't. Sumotori probably would make great offensive lineman, it's almost impossible to get past this guys.
Please do a full react to Martins video - would love a crossover with the strongman/ fitness/ bodybuilder side of YT. Like inviting guys like JujiMufu to IcyMike etc -How to defend against pure muscle etc
@@cosmic_JAV Yes he sparring the guy from the Fight Tips Channel in 3 rounds of Boxing, Kickboxing, and MMA. Boxing round he really sucked, but in the kickboxing he started to kick, and all hell brake loose...
@@rheinstahl2695 go watch sensei Seth grapples Houston Jones. Not sure if it's on Sets channel or if it's on Stephen Wonderboy Thompsons. But it's basically what you are asking for
@@andresouza6346 I mentioned this to the OP, but if you haven't seen it yet, go check out Sensei Seth grapples Houston Jones. It's either on Seth's channel or Stephen Wonderboy Thompsons channel.... Oh and you just check out Houston Jones, everything from his martial arts videos all the way to his "jackass" "pain" videos... The dude is a straight animal. He's a jacked body builder who is nimble like jujumufu, but way way more advanced in all areas of fighting Houston Jones video titled "Bodybuilder destroys Jiu-Jitsu fighters" it's good watch
Great reaction. Would love to see a full reaction of the Martins Licis/Strength unknown sumo video, he’s not only a gigantic human but very into the culture as well!
There's a similar traditional sport in Switzerland called Schwingen. It's interesting how almost every culture developed some form of wrestling completely independent from each other.
@@NoForksGiven Well, language and archery (religion and music probably as well) were invented before humans left Africa, so they just took it with them all over the world and then developed it further, it's not like different cultures invented them on their own.
@@NoForksGiven Archery actually was one of the main reasons our ancestors were able to spread all over the world, before that they weren't all that mighty. As soon as the first arrow heads were found, humans started spreading over all the continents.
I hope you get to go to Japan and practice Sumo! The first video is hilarious. They're in a completely foreign place to them but still just being themselves and everyone is having a great time. Each great to watch to see martial arts enthusiasts vs non who are also athletes.
幾らフットボールプレイヤーが強いと言っても相撲で相撲レスラーに勝てるわけないですよ 見た目以上に沢山テクニックがあります ただ押し合ってるだけじゃないです 当然、同じように相撲レスラーがフットボールプレイヤーになったとしても全く通用しないでしょう テクニックが全然違います Even if a football player is strong, there is no way he can beat a sumo wrestler in a sumo wrestling match, because there is a lot more technique than meets the eye. The technique is totally different. Of course, if a sumo wrestler tries football, he won't do good in football, because what they are doing is different.
Absolutely you should do a full reaction to Martins' sumo experience. Also watch the rest of Strength Unknown. It's awesome. Also, Martins was 2018's World's Strongest Man winner. 'He's a tight end for the bears'? What the dude gets up to in his own time is his business.
Seth needs a fundraiser. Specialized merch and stuff for Sensei Seth's Sumo Series. I'd pay a premium to help get him to Japan if... Especially if I got some dope merch
I would love to see a bunch of the top linemen in the NFL seriously train in sumo to see how they would do and if that sumo training would help them in football.
I would definitely love to see a full breakdown of the Martins video. I think you'd have a lot more to talk about with that one. And if you haven't seen it, there's also a video of WWE wrestler Sheamus trying his hand at sumo that's pretty fun.
Hananda does play for Colorado State. He also won the Heavyweight World Sumo Championship in Alabama in 2022. Against a guy, Onosato, who is now already near the top in the pros.
I didn't even realize there was a World Championship, I started watching the Japanese tournaments, since they began broadcasting them on Eurosport, but I'm pretty sure there's zero coverage of the World Championship over here in Europe.
@@benitofranklyn4237the only coverage you'll find comes from the IFS (International Sumo Federation) UA-cam account or from individual countries sumo federations. You can find great tournaments in the Poland account, Germany, Japan's, etc. but not on your typical television broadcast.
You should do a full react to the Strength Unknown video! He shows and participates in much more of the training. It'll give you a good chance to add insight to more of the training principles and purpose.
What about how Sumo wrestlers doing in football? Would be equally interesting. This is very interesting content indeed and there should be more of this. It’s interesting to see how athlete of one sport doing when playing different sports, how different is their postures their techniques and stuffs👍 and most of all, they’re having a good time❤
Sadly a lot of Americans and Westerners don't realize how in depth and how much training goes into Grand Japanese Sumo. It's looked down upon, disrespected, and doesn't deserve it.
Yo Seth, maybe you've already seen it or not, but the video "I Lived in a Sumo House for a Day" by Yes Theory is 100% worth checking out too, whether you make a video out of it or not! It's a bit of a different vibe cause they're not pro athletes but at the same time they seem a lot more interested in actually learning about the sumo lifestyle. And yeh, you definitely need to figure out a way to spend a day or week at a sumo stable yourself, too :D
I would love to see a lineman with a wrestling Greco-Roman background give sumo a try. I’ve been talking about it for years ever since I started watching sumo
It's very hard to beat any professional martial artist at his discipline, especially if you don't even have the weight advantage, as it is the case against sumotori.
I believe Akebono, who died recently, but reached the highest rank of Yokozuna, started as a high school football player in Hawaii. It didn't hurt that he ended up being 6'8" tall and roughly 600 lbs.
Akebono is the only Sumotori who kind of made it into main stream over here in Europe, because they used to show the K-1 Grand Prix tournaments on Eurosport. Sadly he was far from his prime by then.
You should do a full react to the martins licis sumo video, he does a lot more wrestling later, plus the eddie hall video where he trains in the UK and throws everyone around. Strong man sumo react.
Every year in a rural town in Japan, a historic tournament sees kids, amateurs, professionals, and amateurs wrestling against professionals. Maybe Sensei will get to participate.
BTW. When you watched Hidetora Hanada's highlights, those were from the CFL Combine he attended a few years ago. And Canadian Football is different in a sense that there's a yard of free space between players before the snap. So yeah, it was a familiar way to initiate the contact for Hanada.
This just showcases how important Adaptation to differences are. Each activity whether it's a Martial Art or a Sport requires a completely different Skill set even if similar concepts are present. I've played many different Sports and have trained in various Martial Arts briefly. What I've learned is that certain principles are fluid throughout. The Truth of Professional Sports and Fighting today even in the Military is Specialization. As a Guy who's a Generalist meaning that I'm a higher level jack of all trades whether academically or physically, I'm good @ a lot of things and maybe great @ one or two things possibly. 🤷🤷 I say all of this because people so quickly praise those @ the highest levels who are seen doing specific tasks. Guys who can do multiple things like a LeBron James in capacity should be valued highly as well.
I've competed in both, and while the skillsets look similar, they are completely different. They do have similar underlying principles, but the techniques are very different.
Wakatakakagi is back in the upper ranks and some what lighter than most sumo wrestlers. He had knee surgery and in Sumo you keep falling in rank from Sekiwake even when injured. He fell all the way to the unpaid ranks and did well in the July tournament.
Sumo wrestlers, known as sekitori for the 2 best divisions, are absolute athletes and powerhouse. And the waka brothers here, despite strong of course are not considered as monsters in term of pushing.
You know what the best part of this is? Everyone was just having such a good time. All the wrestlers were laughing, the football dudes were having fun. I love that.
Sumo is no joke. Those guys are truly athletic. Happy to see it become more popular!
I'm sorry. It's just far too much but cheeks flapping in the breeze. And the sumo guys obviously aren't that great because they got beat by guys who'd never done this before.
@@Hollylivengood so just like you said “guys who never done this before can beat them” do you think sumo wrestler that is experienced enough would go full force on a someone that is just trying to learn????? And watch the clip again you can see that the sumo wrestler didn’t even try to push him back
@@fizsem1118 I'm saying most people think Sumo is a joke. Maybe if they didn't look so comical it would be different.
@@Hollylivengood They are still students and are not that great of players, so there is no way they can beat SUMO physically.
@@Hollylivengood the drill was to push them so they didn’t push back.
Americans vastly overestimate how famous American football players are. It's not just Japan that doesn't know these guys, basically no one outside of the US knows them.
very true. apart from MMA i dont know any AMERICAN superstars
I live in Japan and I think Japan is the ONLY other country that cares about “American Football” lol so many dudes have tried to talk to me about football but idk shit about it haha
@@ChamorruWarrior i also heard that baseball was really big there, is that true? Just curious
@@E2O10 Yes, they have the second best baseball league in the world and the best baseball player right now is from Japan: Shohei Ohtani.
As an American, idk who these guys are
I would love to see a full reaction too the “sumo vs strong man” video and thank you Seth for making some of the best martial content ever 😊
Or adblock
He did that with Eddie Halls video 10 months ago
Seconded.
Something worth noting is that the wrestlers with the black mawashi are division 3 or lower. The guy that got pushed out while taking it easy was wearing black.
フットボール選手はまわしを付けていないからハンデが大きい。フットボール選手はまわしを掴んで、相撲レスラーは掴む場所がない。
お互いにまわしを付けたら、相手にならなかったでしょう。まぁ相撲で勝負しているから当然だけどね😊
日本の相撲力士は相手の黒帯まわしを掴んではいませんでした。フットボール選手は力士の黒帯を掴んで有利な体勢で押し出しましたが、力士は制限された動きを強いられています。😅😉
I appreciate how respectful these guy's are about the sumo's skills and level
I remember watching offensive linemen from the NFL try sumo in the 1980's as it was on television. Two guys from the Pittsburgh Steelers went over to Japan and did surprisingly well. My college football team was teaching the offensive line sumo techniques when we would try out.

Can you react to "Hinomaru sumo" in the future?
For the sake of Seth's soul he needs to watch that anime! It'd probably get him so hype before his competition in Poland
I’ve been suggesting that on his videos too, he’d love it 😭
We can only wish he would. I'm gonna suggest it as well, but given his past vids on anime, it feels like he actively avoids actually watching anime.
I can definitely see him trying the moves in the anime in competitions.
Ive been a sumo fan for 12 years now and I KNEW the first sumo video you did that youd get hooked. Its a fantastic sport

Such a hype show. I loved it.
Yes great show
Is it similar to the Kickers? The show was highly popular in Germany/Switzerland with kids like 30 years ago.
My football coach would have the offensive and defensive linemen learn wrestling to help further develop their skills
Makes a lot of sense, I can't understand any coach who doesn't. Sumotori probably would make great offensive lineman, it's almost impossible to get past this guys.
i think the "listening to music" is a translator in their ear so they wouldnt be in the shot.
It even said so in the video. They listen to a audio guide. :D
There was a TV show called Human Weapon, where an MMA and NFL guy went around the world and tried different martial arts.
Your love of sumo and the art of it makes me happy. Good stuff Seth.

Would love to see a Seth + Jason Kelce sumo collab 👍

Strongman Martins Licis video about living in a sumo stable is so different to this.
Seth, please do a full react to Martins Licis Strength Unknown episode
The football to yokozuna pipeline is well established. Both Akebono and Musashimaru got discovered that way.
Sumo wrestlers, known as sekitori for the 2 best divisions, are absolute athletes and powerhouse. And the waka brothers here, despite strong of course are not considered as monsters in term of pushing.
GO SETH GO!! I summon your sumoness🤜🤜🤜 to ask them all!💪
