What am I watching?!?! This guy is a brawler! Amazing!!!

Because of his size disadvantage he gets into situations where if he doesn't execute flawlessly he is going to lose within a second or less. His skill is amazing.

I thought because of his size he would rely on perfect technique and execution, which he does and also performs, but he is also immensely strong for his size. The way he tosses his opponents into the air lifting them up that effortlessly is mind boggling. His timing is outstanding as well.

The complete lift at 1:08 the power to lift someone twice your size completely off the ground and push them back. It’s incredible

This guy definitely knows about leverage. Would go as far as to say they are best friends.

the way he just HOISTED the first guy - absolute machine

INCREDIBLE- poetry in motion - power, balance, footwork, heart, courage, what a blessing to get to see this man in action.

There is a series called "Hinomaru Sumo", the main character of the series is smaller than every other sumo wrestler but he has the heart, skill, and the passion of a demon to continue. Enho reminds me of him.

I think all grapplers from different disciplines can appreciate this man's skills. Unreal and perfection.

This man’s technique, ring awareness, and sheer tenacity are all extremely impressive!

0:52 that sequence was masterful. Jesus💯

The best sport. Pride without boasting. Respect without trash talk.

Enho is one of my favorite rikishi! Unfortunately, other rikishi have pretty much figured him out. The recipe is simple, at least on paper: fight defensively, never attack in full force, always keep him in front of you. He's no longer in Makuuchi, the top division, and currently fighting in Juryo, one step lower.

I've never watched sumo wrestling in my life but even I can tell his technique is amazing. He's not only strong but he uses his opponents momentum against them.

"I would not be scared of a man who knew 10,000 kicks but rather one who has practiced 1 kick 10,000 times." This guy is a master of the hip throw and using their own weight against them. Also massive strength for his size. Awesome to see how successful he was for being like half many competitors size.

His agility is breathtaking... he just takes their momentum, turns and steps aside then just politely spins them away. His grace is beautiful to watch

He seems to have incredible leverage because of his low center of gravity, you can also just tell he’s crazy athletic

That man must have worked so hard to obtain that level of efficiency in this specific environnement. This is what all shonen fans aspire to become one day haha (me included)

Enho will forever be a favorite for me. he has the most exciting bouts to me

Can’t overlook the fact he’s also dipping giants. Herculean strength 💯

He seems to have a lot more judo in his style. He really takes advantage of that lower center of gravity. Plus, he's also gotta be ridiculously strong to even hang in there with these giants, much less do anything with them

He has wheels on his feet, pointed sideways. This sir's lateral movement is sheer poetry. And even his intestines must have muscles on them, the way he uproots these trees. Inspiring to watch.

Beautiful video, thank you for putting this together and showcasing some of sumo's best techniques.

I grew up wrestling and i coach a bit nowadays. Love this. Simple and effective wrestling here. His handfighting is active and he his feet are rarely stagnant. Headclubs, underhooks, lots of movement. Circling quick when receiving pressure, and taking scoring opportunities when he cuts the corner. Positioning on the snatch single is solid and he doesnt waste any time finishing. He turns the corner upon taking the single, drives, and shifts opps weight to his free leg. when he was caught in whatever the sumo version of a front headlock is called, he handled it very well. He is expected to wind up here occasionally given his height, and while its not the most advantageous position to be in, he works through it. He stays calm, fights hands, circles out, and digs an underhook of sorts in some of the examples. Taking his opps tie, and making it his. At 5:03 he stays tight on his opps elbow to be stable under the pressure (and that balance was crazy). Id imagine he's spent so much time in front headlocks, explaining why he has a great feel for them. Good stuff! And lastly... the guy even went for a flying squirrel at 10:47 😂my god While all forms of grappling have their own specific techniques and unique challenges, there is always some sort of carryover (usually) (Sorry, im unfamiliar with sumo wrestling terminology😢)

Yall need to relax, yes we know he just got downgrade to division 2 but we need to realize that he is still young. He got a big potential. He just need to recover a bit from his latest injury and maybe add some weight. He got all the skills. I believe he will do better again in the future.

Lets appreciate his ring orientation skill for one moment. Even with his head in a lock and after two and a half fast twist around his own axis he exactly knows where he is and where his opponent is related to the ring. It clearly shows that he is always calm and in control.... absolutely amazing!!!

Amazing. Really using his opponent’s momentum to his advantage with his grappling skills and awesome looking footwork and angles.

相手がどんだけデカかろうと飛び込む勇気と、力の使い方が素晴らしい

That last fight was an exhibition against his mentor and probably the best Rikishi, Yokozuna Hakuho

Damn I've never been into sumo wrestling but every fight looks like freaking David and Goliath yet this man is flipping them like burgers, mad respect

I’ve been watching the channel sumo eating and became a fan. This man is a beast!

Thanks for this magnificent video of The Mighty ENHO!

Enho is by far my current favourite sumo wrestler... Each time he throws a larger opponent is golden!

When we say sumo wrestling, size is the first thing in our mind. We are now proven wrong by this skilled wrestler. Most of them are double his size. Its just amazing.

This man's fights are a great metaphor for life. Most of us are the small fry or the underdog in a world filled with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. However, if we focus, train, act fearlessly and use our leverage, we are capable of moving mountains.

3:06 love that sidestep That poor ringside judge though

On top of having an amazing variety of techniques, he's not exactly short on strength. When he gets position on his opponents, he seems to have no trouble lifting or throwing guys twice his size.

Wonderful example of power in a small package. Thank you for the post.

I don’t know a single man who weighs 216 lbs who could throw these giants the way Enho does. What a beast

Man his agility, balance, speed, strength, and technique are remarkable.

People don't understand. He is fighting against 1m90, 150 kg human beings. Imagine those giants walk along side with us on the street and we have to fight them.

Wow very cool - I had no idea sumo was so slick and technical. It is legit wrestling and this guy is amazing to watch

Техничен, ловок, силен и самое главное - действительно красив. Мал золотник - да дорог. Браво!

Personally, I am not interested in sumo. However, this man has made me reconsider the art. A true legend. I'm a follower, fan, and a student now. Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu Enho

When that Honda stage remix hit It got HYPE 💪👊

A lot of comments mentioning his surprising amount of strength but he’s also EXTREMELY quick and agile!

Those judo throws and takedowns are amazing. I’m honestly impressed on a whole new level

I'm from Italy seeing this sport for the first time in my life. I must admit this sport is among the most entertaining fights I've ever seen.

Great video! Have you considered making one on Ura? He's also undersized (not as much as Enho), but is also a fan favorite with an exciting, unorthodox style. He's also much more consistent in the upper division.

i mean, start the highlights out with a banger... that was insane

Dude, this man is freaking awesome. He has single handedly introduced and interested me to sumo.

Wow, great leverage and use of opponents momentum to throw them off balance.

Не смотря на большую разницу в росте и весе , этот боец просто феноменален ! Я просто восхищаюсь им !

I've always enjoyed watching his past performances and wish he was in the current tournament

見ていてとても躍動感あって 小さい体でも器用な立ち回りで大きな相手をなぎ倒していく姿が爽快で楽しいです

That spectator guy at 3:06 straight up dead yo, lmao. I think they should put a hell lot more protection for them. Those some 300-ish pound in average guys going full throttle. Impressive martial artists.

His strength is incredible!

He is damn strong. Great technique combine with genius fight sense

I've never heard of this guy till now nor have I seen anything like this before. Absolutely amazing skill.

3:07 imagine you just chilling and then a 300 kg dude just falls right on your face lol

I laughed when I heard Ehonda's theme. Thank you for the compilation!

He is using some very good judo and roman wrestling technics👌 these skills now can make a fighter to be champion in MMA sport

His footwork is unreal

3:23 that gyōji almost died, lol Enho's ability to redirect force and change directions in a split second is amazing.

Its amazing how he uses his low profile to his advantage. Low center of gravity, lots of leg takedowns going off center to left and right to nullify his opponents mass advantage and use its against them. his technique, timing and strenght too is remarkable.

Amazing strength, explosivity and technique!

Гений, черт возьми, гений! Браво! Как тонко чувствует соперника! Быстр, силён, техничен, гибок, вынослив и умён.

This guy is amazing. Watching him work is like poetry in motion. Warrior!

he has totally perfected that hip throw/fulcrum. Amazing

That's some amazing technique, he is lifting these giants out of the ring, incredible stuff.

Been following Enho and was crushed when he dropped out of makuuchi. My man, keep it strong

He is so agile, strong and his tactic or strategy is also nice.

“Small”? This guy is 98kg at 1.68m, he is an absolute UNIT.😂🤣

The wrestling moves and thriws are great but i really like his slapfighting and also when the huge sumos go flyig off the stage.

Enho is Amazing! I am so happy that he has Hakuho as his teacher and mentor! In the Mongolian national wrestling called Buh there are many special throwing and winning techniques of shorter wrestlers. I am sure Hakuho knows them (after all, his father was a Mongolian Grand Champion and Olympic silver medalist in free style wrestling), and he is teaching Enho those techniques! It works!

He’s quick, strong and definitely uses his opponents size and momentum against them. Impressive

He uses his smaller size to his advantage!!! Guy is amazing to watch!!!

Imagine the grip strength Enho Akira had to hang on to the mawashi of opponents who were so much taller and heavier - his speed, balance, strength and agility would be great assets in American football

Enho is my favorite rikishi, and he got me into watching sumo. Since the pandemic I’ve seen every tournament lol There are other amazing smaller wrestlers like enho out there too!

If he was in judo I am pretty sure he could defiantly get to top 10 in the -100kg. He has massive amount of understanding with centre of mass and breaking balance.

GREAT MUSIC 🤙🏻 ENHO IS A BEAST 😈 GIANT SLAYER 💪🏻

And THAT !! Is why Enho is the most beautiful Sumo .

Im the same height as this man and he inspires me with his strength and skill. 🙌🏽

Wow, wow, a very deep bow for this fighter👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"It's not the size of the dog in a fight, it's the size of the fight on the dog"

Amazing, truly amazing, total skill.😊

This randomly popped up and damn am I glad I watched. What a master of his craft wow

Damn that was badass to see that guy throwing dudes 2-3 times his size around. I'm fairly impressed.

Никогда не понимал этот вид спорта, посмотрев это видео-полюбил. Это талантище, что вытворяет Энхо.

Wow! Amazing skills! No mistakes is allowed when that light and small in the ring!

This guy is the balance master and he uses the weight of his opponents in a perfect way. Very skilled. On the most skilled if not the most skilled sumo athlete I have ever seen. An I watch sumo for over 30 years now. The last one, seeing the fear in the eyes of the yokozuna. Wow!

Йорикири в его исполнении - это просто фантастика. Аплодирую стоя.

His technique is to use a lower centre of gravity, as well as using their own force against them, his fast speed allows him to react quicker in using their own force against them. So essentially if they lean one way he will turn it into a type of throw quite quickly, and with is lower centre of gravity it also helps. He is certainly using technique over raw power, he isn't taking them out by meeting force with force.

Insanely strong! So impressive.

видно, маленький с серьезной борцовской подготовкой , поднять сопротивляющегося соперника в 2 раза тяжелее не каждому дано .чудесный борец .

Enho, more than most, needs the crowd, and a noisy one at that. When the crowd was not there his performances were generally lacklustre, and he no longer seemed to believe in himself. Also, the first couple of basho a lot of the bigger rikishi (that was almost all of them) regarded him as a joke and the easiest points they were ever going to get. It was when they started to take him seriously and as a dangerous opponent worthy of study that he started to lose regularly. I can't wait to see him back where he belongs, in maegashira. Once there, he might be able to get to Komusubi if the gods are smiling on him but I can't see him being able to hold that rank for more than a couple of basho.

5' 6" Sumo champion is playing the sport's with superb techniques and heavy weight Giants are struggling without balance ..! 👍

Wrestler here. Love this. Simple and effective single leg. Finds an angle or opportunity to reattack, takes snatch single, and doesnt waste time finishing. His handfighting is active and he his feet are rarely stagnant. Circling quick when receiving pressure. Good stuff

真切的感受到相撲的技之美，感動~😭❤

Now all he needs is a 10 win Basho. I enjoy his matches.
