Juryo training session - Nishonoseki Ichimon

[Moti Dichne]

Nishonoseki Ichimon held a rengo-keiko (joint training session of affiliated heyas) today at Oshiogawa beya with five Juryo rikishi participating. Kotoeihou, Wakanoshou, Kazekenou,, Ootsuji and Wakaikari who came for degeiko and is actually from Tokitsukaze Ichimon. About 30 bouts between them. As the Haru jungyo is mainly attended by Makuuchi wrestlers, the Juryo rikishi who remain in Tokyo at this time of year are lacking in practice partners. In an effort to overcome this situation, the Juryo rikishi have been going back and forth between the heyas of their Ichimon for the past few days, competing with each other. Kazekenou, who is in good shape, reflected, "Various rikishi of similar ranks came to visit us. There are many different types, so it was good keiko." Wakaikari, who came for keiko at the invitation of Sadogatake Oyakata was positive, saying, There are lots of training partners, so the keiko is better than usual. I'm glad I had this opportunity."
