This is where you train your rikishi.  Each game turn every rikishi receives a number of improvement points based on their ranking.  You will find these in your rikishi profile. You can use these points either to improve a specific attribute of your rikishi (technical skill, balance or speed) or alter their weight (up or down). 

​

Note that you cannot train or alter the weight of a rikishi while honbasho is running.

​

When altering a rikishi's weight it may be sensible to alter it in small amounts, giving you the chance to analyse the effect of the weight change but leaving further improvement points to reverse the change should you wish to.

​

Once improvement points are spent they cannot be taken back - although weight changes can be reversed by the use of further points.

​

When we receive your completed training form we will process it and reply with an updated profile for your rikishi.  We will aim to do this within 24 hours.  If you do not hear from us in this time feel free to contact us using the email address at the top of this page as it may be that your form was not completed properly.

​

Another form of "training" you might want to undertake for your rikishi is to enter a moshiai.  These are a winner-stays-on series of bouts which will not alter your rikishi stats or earn improvement points but will enable you to look at their performance which will inform your strategy.  Moshiai will take place every couple of days outside of honbasho.  Enter any or all of your rikishi through the basho menu.
