Just wondering...i'm quite keen on sumo-wrestling, it's the only sports i can stomach actually. The thing is, this one sumo-wrestler, Takamisakari, has apparently written a book, and he has quite an interesting outlook on things (and you can see immediately that he has a differing attitude from other wrestler), says he wants to be the Miyamoto Musashi of sumo-wrestling.
Anyway, this is a far chance, but anyone here know about this book? Has it been translated to english? Where can i get it? How can i find it?
Sumo-sites are generally in language and characters i can't understand
Haha, i don't seriously expect replies...but there's always the unexpected...

I'd rather stare at clouds than watch sumo

Not tainted by something humanely conjectured.
i s'pose in this case it means they don't look fat in the way that people who stare at tv and feed themselves with cheese-paste do.

You're right, they usually follow a high-protein dietary regimen specifically designed to gain weight.James Blast wrote:I thought sumo's had a very strict intake?

A few years ago they used to show Sumo on TV here (Channel 4, I think). The presenter (whose name I don't recall) was one of the foremost western experts on the sport, so I really found out a lot about it just from watching and listening to his commentaries.itnAklipse wrote:Thanks smis.

smis: Maybe its the same guy on Eurosport now...he seems literate in japanese and in sumo, and he's the only source i've had so far And yet i know more about it than i bet 99% of westerners.

Hey, there's a good few tens of thousands of morbidly obese Americans waddling about insisting there's no connection between their massive arses and the vast quanities of burgers they eatitnAklipse wrote:Thanks smis.

Steven, I couldn't help but be reminded of "Inner City Sumo"...

That would be assuming there's anything even remotely resembling real cheese in a Cheesy Wotsit.SINsister wrote:Probably not, actually - aren't most Asians lactose intolerant?James Blast wrote:Cheesy Wotsits?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
