技

Technique in Sumou is a necessary prerequisite for being able to exert maximum Power in a Shoubu.

The most important part of good Technique in Sumou is keeping the hips as low as possible throughout the course of the Shoubu.

For this two things are key in Keiko: Matawari and developing Power.

The other parts of Technique all relate to maintaining good Posture throughout the Shoubu.
