Thanks again to friend of Tachiai, Nista, who shared this video of Texas sumotori Wakaichiro’s second match. Fighting Sandanme 86 Kotonoshima, Wakaichiro overcame a few tough spots to deliver a solid win. Clearly winning the tachiai, Wakaichiro drove forward, but Kotonoshima attempted to counter with a pull down. It was great to see Wakaichiro read the hatakikomi, drive forward and win.
Well done, and congratulations to Wakaichiro!

What I love to see here is the very deep and respectful bow Wakaichiro gives at the end of the bout. It is great to see such respect.
