Sumo Stable Nagoya Basho

Furono

It's the first day of the Nagoya Sumo Basho and I got invited by a stable master Wakashimazu Mutsuo to come view the morning workout at his stable called Matsugane-Beya and also eat Chanko nabe . I had free run of the place starting at 6 o'clock in the morning. First workout is from 6am to 8am then after that they eat.

I really love Sumo and never was able to do this before. I found out that this place was just 2 miles from my house.

These guys really work out and hurt themselves. They all have broken fingers and toes.

Here is a few from this morning.
