With regard to Asashouryuu though, last time I went to Japan at the end of last year, I spent a month training in Naruto-beya, preparing for the European Sumou Championships.


In a desperate, doomed attempt to stave off the flame war that will surely follow, as well as for my own interest, I simply must ask: ShiroiKuma (nice to see you on the list again, btw), can you tell us about training with Naruto beya? What was your status in the heya? Were you part of the tsukebito crew or were you exempt from such chores as a guest? How were you able to wrangle training with the rikishi? Do you feel training with the pros elevated your own skills?
