    I love how they view everything so positively. The restaurant owner doesn't have regret that he wasn't able to become a yokozuna and the one who became a truck driver looks back on it with fondness yet still finds happiness in what he does now. More people need attitudes like this, maybe you don't get what you want, but it could just be a call to a different path

    I actually don't think that the point of this video is 'never giving up'. I think the point of this video is not to force things. It's a taoist philosophy that's underneath it all. They all seem to be clear-minded in their pursuits, and when they encounter immovable objects, they don't push against them, they turn and find something new. Finding a new path.

      I feel like the main point of this video is bouncing back when you pushed in all the chips and it didn't work out. And I love that about this video. Because this is a point in life that doesn't get much attention. In those moments were you make large sacrifices for something that doesn't end up how you intended it, what do you do? That is the reality of most of those types of decisions. Business owners face these types of decisions all the time. And for those moments of life, I love his perspective. The words at the end I feel are really beautiful. It isn't over. You have just changed your direction

    Translation error at 3:31. Akujunkan is vicious cycle not bad circulation...
    I'll also add that they imply that all the wrestlers do is eat, spar, drink, and sleep. Their training is mostly stretching, skill based exercises, training (with weights, striking column, etc.), and finally sparring. They're not just fat. They're very muscular and the fat is just a consequence of optimizing themselves for the rules and skills of the sport (low center of gravity, heavy weight to avoid being knocked over or lifted easily). This is like the "center" (the guy who pitches/passes the ball back at the start of every play) in American football favors a big, heavy yet strong body type... Except the sumo wrestler always has to make initial, significant and often sustained contact in every encounter.

    I have been training as an amateur sumo wrestler for 3 years now, under my master, a retired Mongolian rikishi. I know I will never be a true rikishi, and I know I will never achieve the fame and recognition of an ozumo. And, as a Korean, I face constant difficulty with both my own people and Japanese folks, there is no other path I'd walk.
    Sumo is more then just a sport, more then a martial art, more then a rite within shinto. Its a test, against yourself, challanging your own insecurity and fears, putting all you are into every moment, whether doing shiko at training or fighting in the dohyo.
    Maybe I will be forgotten, but sumo had made me who I am today.

    • @lzh4950
      @lzh4950 3 роки тому

      In my country some athletes retire after just 1 or 2 Olympics as they end up too busy as they often juggle regular academic studies simultaneously too (probably due to concerns over limited career opportunities otherwise after retiring from sport) e.g. 1 of our divers was still working on his university's final-year/capstone project on the day of his Olympic competition & also had to request to be excused from his project's presentation

      there's a difference.

After watching this, I clicked on the next sumo video, and the next one, and here I am a year later, an unlikely (European female) but very enthusiastic sumo fan. If you found this video interesting, by all means, give sumo a try, it is loads of fun to watch (and very easy to follow here on UA-cam). Can't wait for the next tournament :)

    This needs to be longer! You should do another video, perhaps following this guy to see how his restaurant is doing years after quitting sumo, find a wrestler who is just a couple of years out to see how he is doing and then find another who is still active but considering quitting. I think it would be quite a compelling video.

    These documentaries need to be longer, they should explore not only after sumo, but sumo as a whole career itself. I feel like the Vice Sports channel only previews the basic information of the sport or player other than going into full detail.

      +-itsianlaquincy - Even WWE once had on their roster a guy named Rodney Anoai who was scripted to pretend that he's a Sumo star. He dressed the part, he acted the part, and, unfortunately, he also ate "accordingly" to play the part. In the end, he bulked himself up into an early grave, weighing somewhere between 600-800 lbs at the time of his fatal heart attack. PS: Thankfully I've never seen a real Sumo wrestler in a tournament do to a competitor what Rodney Anoai did to his fake-wrestling opponents: climbing the second rope and coming down on the guy, ass-first. (Anyone who had ever wrestled on any show with him must've later had nightmares of that coming down on them: kind of like dreaming you're walking past a tall New York skyscraper, looking up, and seeing a grand piano falling on top of you.)

      There was a WWE wrestler called Earthquake who had previously been a pretty successful sumo wrestler going by the name Kototenzan. He had to quit sumo because he had tatoos on his arms and that is verboten at top level sumo. His real name was John Anthony Tenta Jr. (June 22, 1963 - June 7, 2006)

    This video is just one of the reasons I believe Sumo is the hardest sport on the planet. Even as a wrestler and lifelong athlete I cannot imagine having to down at least 10k calories a day on top of training. Let alone the work you also perform at the lower ranks. Sumo can be brutal but it’s tradition is a sight to behold.

    When you consider that Japan has the no.1 life expectancy in the world, that statement carries a lot less impact, that's still about 70 or so years, only 6 years less than the overall male life expectancy of America.
