Learning the Lingo: Episode One

Hello sumo fans! Here is a new series that I hope will be a helpful resource for new sumo followers and a good refresher for longtime fans of the sport of giants.

In episode one of Learning the Lingo, I briefly go over and break down five sumo terms including sekitori, hanamichi, and sagari.
