Tachi-ai
The is the initial charge between two sumo wrestlers at the beginning of a bout. It is a combination of two Japanese words that mean “stand” and “meet”. There are several common techniques that wrestlers use at the tachi-ai, with the aim of getting a decisive advantage in the bout: ; Charge head-first : Usually to attempt to use one's weight and momentum to force the opponent backwards out of the ring. Such a headlong charge in a low position can lead a more agile opponent to dodge out of the way and slap the charger on the back to push him to his knees. ; Try to raise the opponent up into a vertical position : Makes the opponent more vulnerable to being pushed backwards toward the ring edge and also to certain types of throw and pull down moves. ; Thrust the opponent's chest : Again force the opponent backwards towards the ringedge, or to unbalance him sufficiently to execute a beltless arm throw or a pull down move. Powerful thrusts can on occasion be enough to force ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sumo
is a form of competitive full-contact wrestling where a ''rikishi'' (wrestler) attempts to force his opponent out of a circular ring (''dohyō'') or into touching the ground with any body part other than the soles of his feet (usually by throwing, shoving or pushing him down). Sumo originated in Japan, the only country where it is practiced professionally and where it is considered the national sport. It is considered a ''gendai budō'', which refers to modern Japanese martial arts, but the sport has a history spanning many centuries. Many ancient traditions have been preserved in sumo, and even today the sport includes many ritual elements, such as the use of salt purification, from Shinto. Life as a wrestler is highly regimented, with rules regulated by the Japan Sumo Association. Most sumo wrestlers are required to live in communal sumo training stables, known in Japanese as ''heya'', where all aspects of their daily lives—from meals to their manner of dress—are dic ...

Nekodamashi
is an unconventional sumo wrestling technique, which involves a wrestler clapping his hands together in front of his opponent's face at the ''tachi-ai'' (start of the bout). The aim of this technique is to cause the opponent to close his eyes briefly, allowing the instigator to gain the advantage. ''Nekodamashi'' requires there to be a fair amount of space between the wrestlers at the ''tachi-ai''. Using the technique is also a gamble: if it miscarries, it leaves the wrestler wide open to his opponent's attack. ''Nekodamashi'' is not listed as a ''kimarite'' (winning technique); even in the unlikely situation that a wrestler is so surprised by a ''nekodamashi'' that he falls over, the winning technique is simply recorded as '' higi'' (non-technique victory). Famous sumo wrestlers to have used the ''nekodamashi'' over the years include Mainoumi, Ōtsukasa, ''yokozuna'' Hakuhō in November 2015, and former ''yokozuna'' Mienoumi.

Concussion
A concussion, also known as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is a head injury that temporarily affects brain functioning. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness (LOC); memory loss; headaches; difficulty with thinking, concentration, or balance; nausea; blurred vision; sleep disturbances; and mood changes. Any of these symptoms may begin immediately, or appear days after the injury. Concussion should be suspected if a person indirectly or directly hits their head and experiences any of the symptoms of concussion. It is not unusual for symptoms to last 2 weeks in adults and 4 weeks in children. Fewer than 10% of sports-related concussions among children are associated with loss of consciousness. Common causes include motor vehicle collisions, falls, sports injuries, and bicycle accidents. Risk factors include drinking alcohol and a prior history of concussion. The mechanism of injury involves either a direct blow to the head or forces elsewhere on the body that a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
