Hello and thanks for joining us on another edition of SUMO PRIME TIME. I'm Hiro Morita. The March Tournament is still two weeks away but our love for sumo never ceases. As you know, there are no weight classes in sumo. For a smaller combatant to defeat a much bigger opponent, he must attack with a very effective weapon. And I believe that weapon is the Katasukashi or Under shoulder swing down. We often see a top division’s smallest rikishi ,Midorifuji, beautifully execute the move on much bigger opponents to rack up victories. As usual, former Makuuchi wrestler and one of the most well-known experts in winning techniques, Coach Kabutoyama, teaches me how to properly execute the Katasukashi. Hope you enjoy another introduction to sumo’s winning ways, KATASUKASHI! And stay tuned for more insights into the world of sumo on SUMO PRIME TIME!
All the best for Sazanami. 10 months ago he won Sandanme yusho but struggled in Makushita afterwards. Hopefully he will cement his rank to high Makushita and has a chance for sekitori someday.
Like the guy walking on stage and realizing there's an audience "Oh hello, I didn't see you there". I love how Japanese TV personalities still stick to these old tacky cliches.
2:50 - Those are some classic sumo fingers! Busted more times than he can count by opponents trying to break his mawashi grip. Heard Konishiki talking about how all his had been broken at various times.
Ждал, когда кто-нибудь скажет. Но это канал для нубов и популяризации, а показывать грязные игры страшно. Таканохану родного съели, Великого Монгола точно сожрут.
The JSA and NHK are screwing themselves and international sumo fans by removing Natto Sumo content. The way Natto Sumo formats his coverage is the absolute best. The JSA and NHK should work with Natto Sumo to offer international fans some kind of pay per view for each tournament. I'd pay $20 for each tournament if I could watch coverage that was exactly like Natto Sumo's content.
I hate that hokuho has now lost management control of his stable. I hope in time they will give it back to him. He's a living legend. I don't condone the behavior of his pupil but sumo needs someone like hokuho.
I really hope you allow Miyagino Oyakata the chance to learn from his mistakes and run his stable again. If he is kicked out, we will all know why and the JSA will lose many followers.
Sumo prime time = Great. Sumo tournaments = Great. Sumo politics within the association / Elders politics = Meh....... Of course, the association can do whatever it wants, but recent news cannot be good for the sport, the country, and its culture. It's leaving a rather sour taste....
Thank you for your videos. They are fun to watch and very informative. But after almost 30 years of watching and following sumo, I have decided to stop. After everything that has happened over the years and the way it has been handled, I have lost interest.

Hiro-san looks very fit...despite being 56 years old. Bravo, Hiro-san! Respect!
56???? He looks at least 10 younger, wow
what a crazy day for a normal sumo prime time video
Right?! 😅
I love how Hiro acts surprised when the camera man is waiting for him outside the building.
That part absolutely slayed me.

@@dsclaud Not tacky, charming! Hiro is a natural entertainer
At this rate we'll see Hiro on the banzuke yet. 😀
Thank you to all three for giving us this detailed look into the under arm shoulder swing down
the shiko exercise is helping me to improve my karate and aikido, greetings Hiro san from Venezuela
Thank you very much Hiroo-san, Sumo throws are very effective in Shinken Shobu Karate.
Love the segments with Kabutoyama and Sazanami. They seem quite enthusiastic on joining the fun!!
Sumo prime timeeee!!
Thank you for another winning techniques video! I look forward to practicing katasukashi!

My favorite trio ! ❤
If this is the official UA-cam channel of sumo there should have been 5 videos about Hokuseiko since January.
There are no words

I love your channel! Well Done ❤
😊Outstanding Hiro-san! I really enjoyed the technique breakdown! Domo.
Thanks for your good work. Your Sumo school episodes are becoming my favorites.
If Sumo Elders push Coach Miyagino, “Hakuho”, out of sumo, the sport will alienate more people than ever before.
Very informative, thank you and keep up the good work.
Great content. Thank you for sharing, and greetings from Brazil.
Gonna try this next practice! Love these
Hiro Morita is an international treasure and should be protected at all costs
sumo ! prime time !
Good show HIro-san.
Really fun, and interesting too. Thanks for this!
Thank you, Hiro!! Great job!! Hope you didn’t get yourself hurt when you fell! 😲 Air katasukashi reminds me of Aikido practice. 😊
wonderful guide!
Hehe, first day of the March tournament, looks like Ura also watched Sumo Prime Time :D
教官の甲山親方は歌がすごく上手い。ご子息の若碇さんは初土俵以来順調に番付が上がっていて将来が楽しみな力士さんです。
肩透かしのプリンス 翠富士
So awesome
I remember Ura doing this move on Atamifuji, and when he got the armpit grip, it was like Ura already had the win before he fell to the floor.
Hiro, when will you prevail upon NHK to broadcast Sumo Grand Basho's in English ?
One of my favorite Kimarete
Katusukashi without the master Midorifuji?
サザナミさん勝ち越しおめでとう
Expecting a video about Miyagino and Hakuho. I feel that I am not wrong with my feelings towards Hakuho. Excessive pride blew him out.
This looks like a standing shoulder crunch in jiu jitsu, even though I've only seen it on the floor in jiu jitsu. Looks very wrestley as well.

Hakuho Gambareeeeeeeeeeeeeee
show us how to throw tsuppari next!
Sazanami 👍🏻😁
These guys are hilarious
Just used by Ura to defeat an ozeki in March 2024 Day 1!!
Hiro's twice my age 🤣 and older than both of my parents 😂
Does anybody has experience in applying katasukashi in nogi bjj?
I hate that hokuho has now lost management control of his stable. I hope in time they will give it back to him. He's a living legend. I don't condone the behavior of his pupil but sumo needs someone like hokuho.
Пусть Ассоциация осознает и примет это - без Хакухо сумо никогда не было популярным за пределами Японии.
I really hope you allow Miyagino Oyakata the chance to learn from his mistakes and run his stable again.
If he is kicked out, we will all know why and the JSA will lose many followers.
So coy Hiro - clothes off, mawashi on,
I always called this the faceplanter.
Sumo prime time = Great.

How come Sumo Prime Time doesn’t discuss the recent events abuse and theft .
We're obviously not going to see any of it here on this channel
well this is not a news channel, it is dedicated specifically to celebrate the best aspects of sumo. What did you expect?
dead sumo league give back miyagino elder stock!
Nice try Hiro 😉 love this
I think Midorifuji is safe tho 😂
He can be the Katasukashi king , 🫶💚
Sazanami is good teacher
