Dohyo iri, Yokozuna Asasyoryu

Dohyo iri, Yokozuna Asasyoryu, 2007/01/13

[@rektl2036]

both asashoyru and chiyonofuji's dohyo iri makes u think they really gonna come at you. shows the intensity and aggression love it!

[@llcollinstx]

wow - even his dohyo-iri was terrifying!

[@usmh]

Asashoryus shiko was so great! The best dohyo-iri imo.

[@FreyofKtau]

same here, he does it so powerful and elegant too.

[@juanfer92]

Hakuhos dohyo iri is brutal too, so much energy.

[@FortunateJuice]

So much swag in those movements. A grand champion, and he acts like it.

[@indragunawan205]

Holyhell those are some serious muscles

[@rafaelbogdan9307]

Yep, if you took all the fat off him he'd still be 110+ kg of pure warrior. He's a businessman in his 40s now but I bet he'd be just as much at home leading a tumen into medieval Poland or Iran.

[@torccchaser6712]

The BEST ever !

[@sigmanbyrd3020]

The best dohyo-iri ever!

[@byambajavjavkhlan4729]

Asashoryu is legend grand champion of mongolian

[@CloneCoalition21]

What I like to call The Bouncy Bouncy dohyo iri.

[@RazielTheWise]

Wow, and they're actually cheering spontaneously--you don't see that in modern Japanese sports.

[@dannyhipolito817]

It's just the normal ring entrances for the other sumo. January 2019 tournament had no yokozuna in the later days. Kakuryu was injured and Hakuho too

[@JohnCena-lk1bq]

I reckon Harumafuji and past yokozuna takanohana are the best at performing the doyo iri. very nice to watch

[@sigmanbyrd3020]

Amazing!

[@uwalkeruwalker9576]

モンゴル出身力士の中では日馬富士の土俵入りが一番好きですが朝青龍のもいいですね👍

[@serge6885]

wow!!!

[@richardsanchez9190]

I don't get what's happening, but I feel its awesome.

[@abiezerEscude]

The Dohyo-iri is the traditional ring entering ceremony performed by the Yokozuna, or grand champion of sumo. They hold the highest rank in the sport and are supposed to be the embodiment of Sumo. There are two different types of dohyo-iri: offensive with both hands stretched out to the sides to create an image of strength and there’s the defensive one with one arm out to the side while the other one is bent into the body (the dohyo-iri that is being performed by Asashoryu). These styles are taught to new Yokozuna by an older and usually retired Yokozuna who will most often be an oyakata (this is a sumo stable master). The style of dohyo-iri they choose will be theirs for the rest of their professional careers until retirement. New Yokozuna are also given the tsuna (the white belt you see on Asashoryu while he performed his dohyo-iri) and will utilize it for dohyo-iri as well as shrine ceremonies and photographs for their portraits to be shown over the kokigikan (the giant stadium they perform in) when there is a tournament. I apologize for rambling and I do hope this information is helpful, and before anything else, accurate. God bless.

[@Lordkazekage1987]

the dance is called unryu

[@Falaxuper]

Karolaku Krawczaku approves :)

[@arceusshanks]

excelent video ritual

[@HwarangOfFaith]

Damn, a real life honda lol

[@arielrotman]

Honda is based on Yokozuna Chiyonofuji

[@etabeta2078]

For you yhat will next Yokozuna and Hakushu will be retired?For me have a good chance the Ozeki Terunofuji and Ozeki Kotoshōgiku but i prefer the fist, Ozeki Terunofuji! Have a real good sumo but different of a Yokozunas's style, mostly Hakuho style. Hakuho is a streamroller!!!!

[@Anon-sv5ee]

Eta Beta Well...

[@pitpossum2]

@etabeta: Looks like your dream is about to come true...

[@abiezerEscude]

@@pitpossum2 yeah! Teru is the 73rd Yokozuna! And he’s doing very well! Winning both his first and second tournaments as a Yokozuna!

[@edgaraugustoruizsantos4732]

Asashoryu looks like Takanohana lol.

[@filbure83]

В воскресной схватке двух ёкодзун... (с)

[@barricade53]

is that hakuho sho behind him?

[@mrrhombus716]

Nope

[@hiroshitakubo]

Rikishis accompanying Asashoryu are his beya-mates Asasekiryu (sword bearer) and Asanowaka.

[@Timbales-sj3sq]

Heya mates, not beya mates. You only use the word beya when you're actually naming the heya, like Takasago beya.

[@FreyofKtau]

what if there is no active Yokozuna, or all of them are injured. Who performs the Dohyo iri??? Thx ... :)

[@dannyhipolito817]

If no active Yokozuna, Ozeki to Maegashira (and maybe juryo if their match is even televised) do an introduction ritual and the first match of the card starts.

[@rafaelbogdan9307]

@@dannyhipolito817 Don't they do that anyway after the Yokozuna's dohyo-iri?

[@dannyhipolito817]

@@rafaelbogdan9307 yes, but there were plenty of times when there wasn’t a Yokozuna in the tournament to open the card so it had to begin with the Juryo, Maegashira, and Ozeki to perform the opening ceremony

[@tianwong152]

Why does the wrestler stamp twice with one foot and only once with the other?
