Their heads hit on the tachiai with the sound of two coconuts slamming together. Seriously, you can actually hear it. After that, Goeido manages to weather the tsuppari attack of Aoiyama with a good low stance and some hand fighting. Even though he gets pushed back to the edge of the dohyo, he’s in a good position to make the quick sidestep while pulling down on Aoiyama’s arms for the hikiotoshi win.

Kotoyuki brings his usual energy to the tachiai, but Takekaze is ready and waiting. The thing about always going full blast toward your opponent is you have to keep your feet under you in case they step out of the way. Kotoyuki apparently hasn't heard my advice, and falls to 4-6.

What goes around, comes around. Goeido is on the receiving end of some instant karma today. He tries a tricky tachiai with a big side slap to the head and a side step, avoiding the brunt of Aoiyama's charge. But Aoiyama keeps his feet under him and turns to push Goeido around with some palm strikes (tsuppari). Goeido charges this time, but Aoiyama gives Goiedo a taste of his own medicine with a good pull to the back of Goeido's head, side-stepping out of the way for the hikiotoshi (pull down) victory.
