Enho the smallest wrestler in Sumo slaying giants - highlights (炎鵬 晃相撲のハイライト )

[@joelwillis2043]

Because of his size disadvantage he gets into situations where if he doesn't execute flawlessly he is going to lose within a second or less. His skill is amazing.

[@lordfraybin]

Huh? His size IS his advantage. He doesnt have to lower his center of gravity to perform a throw. The guys hes fighting have to practically get on their knees to get below his center. That's huge in this type of wrestling. Far more important than raw strength.

[@lsz6882]

@@lordfraybin It can be advantageous in some cases but overall he just has way less options because of lower reach, weight and strength and kinda has to rely on gimmicks to score wins which higher level opponents will adapt to fairly quickly

[@lordfraybin]

@@lsz6882 Lower weight yes. Strength? Not so sure about that. My judo instructor used to make me throw one of our other instructors, a guy who was 6.3 and 240ib. To my 5.7 and 114, to reinforce the idea that "size doesnt matter" if you're using proper technique. He wasnt wrong.

[@FAMINE_R1]

@@lordfraybin the existence of weight classes negates all arguments for "size doesn't matter"

[@lsz6882]

@@lordfraybin So there's some techniques where strength isn't that important however there's a lot of them where strength and size is a requirement, for example he could never pick an opponent up and carry him out of bounds, even pushing them out is way harder. Sumo is very much about versatility and adaptation. If you're that limited in terms of techniques you're able to use, stronger opponents will be able to exploit that consistently after having faced it and seen it a couple of times. There's a reason why Enho currently fighting in division 2 is still a rare outlier when it comes to size.

I thought because of his size he would rely on perfect technique and execution, which he does and also performs, but he is also immensely strong for his size. The way he tosses his opponents into the air lifting them up that effortlessly is mind boggling. His timing is outstanding as well.

[@justas423]

There's also probably a lot of momentum from his opponent that he could direct upwards or sideways and then lift. But obviously as a Sumo Wrestler he's gotta be hella beefy as well.

Homie is 5’6” and 216 pounds. I’m 5’10 and 165 pounds, with a visually similar build. That extra 50-75 pounds is an insane amount of pure muscle. The way he can almost casually pick up these monsters (given the right angle) is absurd

[@tracenmaxilus4561]

I know he is incredibly strong but I think he's true power is how he does it. I don't know any sumo but honestly to me he looks like he is just using wrestling judo and basic body mechanics (for example how you would pick heavy objects up with your feet). but like I said I don't know any sumo I'm just a BJJ guy looking to get better.

[@yellowked]

Enho is one of my favorite rikishi! Unfortunately, other rikishi have pretty much figured him out. The recipe is simple, at least on paper: fight defensively, never attack in full force, always keep him in front of you. He's no longer in Makuuchi, the top division, and currently fighting in Juryo, one step lower.

[@mrspeigle1]

Yeah kind of sad, I'm hoping he finds some more magic and makes a comeback because he is so fun to watch.

Yall need to relax, yes we know he just got downgrade to division 2 but we need to realize that he is still young. He got a big potential. He just need to recover a bit from his latest injury and maybe add some weight. He got all the skills. I believe he will do better again in the future.

[@pieterlindeque7798]

His body definitely has room for some more mass. He's short but he's wide with a solid frame. If he goes the Chiyonofuji route and puts on enough mass without comprising his mobility he will be an even bigger threat when he comes back up. Experience will be king for him.

[@Plinkofficial]

Old man strength will come his way some day.

[@aggressivelyamicable5987]

The problem is that his size limits him to a certain set of movements that require significant torque. This is a double edged sword as he continuously over-strains his joints. His career will likely be much shorter than the average sumo but I hope he is able to make the most of his time.

Look up Chiyonofuji, in his prime he was an absolute beast of a sumo, and he was small by their standards.

[@BryanMetcalf-ld7cb]

I grew up wrestling and i coach a bit nowadays. Love this. Simple and effective wrestling here. His handfighting is active and he his feet are rarely stagnant. Headclubs, underhooks, lots of movement. Circling quick when receiving pressure, and taking scoring opportunities when he cuts the corner. Positioning on the snatch single is solid and he doesnt waste any time finishing. He turns the corner upon taking the single, drives, and shifts opps weight to his free leg. when he was caught in whatever the sumo version of a front headlock is called, he handled it very well. He is expected to wind up here occasionally given his height, and while its not the most advantageous position to be in, he works through it. He stays calm, fights hands, circles out, and digs an underhook of sorts in some of the examples. Taking his opps tie, and making it his. At 5:03 he stays tight on his opps elbow to be stable under the pressure (and that balance was crazy). Id imagine he's spent so much time in front headlocks, explaining why he has a great feel for them. Good stuff! And lastly... the guy even went for a flying squirrel at 10:47 😂my god While all forms of grappling have their own specific techniques and unique challenges, there is always some sort of carryover (usually) (Sorry, im unfamiliar with sumo wrestling terminology😢)

@@RuiSen1 this quote is misleading to use in humans too. Size in humans does matter unless you're a trained fighter.

@@AsapMilk yep and inexperienced fighters big or small can win regardless of size, seen it, been thru it.

His use of space, movement, and footwork is legit.

Wonderful example of power in a small package. Thank you for the post.

Now all he needs is a 10 win Basho. I enjoy his matches.

Bout time someone sumo some justice with a good highlight! Would love to see more! ASASHORYU

[@GrapplerKingdom]

Thank you! I'll se what I can do, probably not the last Sumo video.

[@Warrior25]

That's some amazing technique, he is lifting these giants out of the ring, incredible stuff.

[@hutchmusician]

Enho Akira! Simply the best pound-for-pound rikishi in sumo. Incredible technique, speed, strength... man, if you could make all the wrestlers the same size he’d crush everybody. Thanks for the upload!

[@GrapplerKingdom]

Thank you for watching!

[@MrValpo6829]

Juste extraordinaire, un concentré de force et de technique. Bravo, tout mes respects à ce sumotori.

[@vector4632]

1:03 HOLY SHIT! The power and technique that this man has to go for basically a Single Leg Takedown and lift a guy twice his size is NOT something I expected!

[@craigmccullough7333]

Enho, more than most, needs the crowd, and a noisy one at that. When the crowd was not there his performances were generally lacklustre, and he no longer seemed to believe in himself. Also, the first couple of basho a lot of the bigger rikishi (that was almost all of them) regarded him as a joke and the easiest points they were ever going to get. It was when they started to take him seriously and as a dangerous opponent worthy of study that he started to lose regularly. I can't wait to see him back where he belongs, in maegashira. Once there, he might be able to get to Komusubi if the gods are smiling on him but I can't see him being able to hold that rank for more than a couple of basho.

[@zatoichiMiyamoto]

He needs to be aware of the high risk of injury derived from fighting 150+kilo opponents, he needs to be strong and smart.

[@AnvilMAn603]

i can see him getting back up to makuuchi but hes never going to hit sanyaku

I just recently got into Sumo, but I’m going to use this comment to brush up on my sumo terminology. Thanks!

[@TheHiddenNarrative]

Great video! Have you considered making one on Ura? He's also undersized (not as much as Enho), but is also a fan favorite with an exciting, unorthodox style. He's also much more consistent in the upper division.

[@smeatknight]

Damn that was badass to see that guy throwing dudes 2-3 times his size around. I'm fairly impressed.

I like the concept of sumo and being brute force wins most of the time but I love when they get into the hand fighting combos and techniques with the throws like Olympic wrestling! Really shows their skills like this dude🔥🔥 (sumo should honestly be in an Olympic sport! even though Japan would win gold every single year lol)

3:05 yooo he fired a orange missile on that dude in the audience man damn is he ok ?

[@monkeytennis9087]

Really popular rikishi, and you can see why. Plucky to the extreme; always gives 100%. About 3 years ago he rose as high as Maegashira 4 I think - just shy of the top 10 guys in the game. Truly astonishing, bearing in mind he's half the size of a lot of the guys he has to fight. In fact his lack of height is a big issue for him, often getting caught in awkward positions where he is crouched under the chest of the opponent, or his back gets bent in alarming ways. He's had back and arm/shoulder injuries in the last 18 months, but battling on in the Juryo division.

[@myview5840]

It looks like he can dislocate his shoulders the way he is being bent and twisted.
