Yuhi is a 17 year old female wrestler from Japan, who has been wrestling for less than a year , yet is better than most female wrestlers from America already. Heres a recent singles match she was in www.dailymotion.com/video/xwqban_meiko-satomura-vs-yuhi-zero1_sportHow can a girl who is only seventeen and has only been wrestling for less than a year be so good. Why is there such a great talent gap between Japanese female wrestlers and their American counterparts?

I guess it's the culture.
You know the old saying, "It's a sport in Japan, a tradition in Canada, a religion in Mexico, and a joke in America".

Because girls in Japan have to work to be better than the guys

She seems to have everything she needs, but dad said she was too young. However, she is old enough for me

Joshi culture blows. The women have to work twice as hard to get about half as far as the men if they're lucky. Ice Ribbon is another company in Japan that has a lot of younger girls from their dojo on shows. They've been high school age or a year or two younger in some cases. I don't know why that is that girls so young get into it, but the training is way different than what you'd see here. Not to mention it's a completely different style in general once they get in the ring. www.dailymotion.com/video/xqpcsm_yuzuki-aikawa-vs-yuhi-zero1_sport#.UP6UL6HBMX8Here's Yuhi's debut match from this past April. There's a nice training montage at the beginning. Those kicks she throws have unbelievable power behind them. She's very quick with her movements, too. With some of the gymnast moves she throws out there, she reminds me a lot of Ray/Lin Bairon mixed with an MMA moveset. She also gets her nose splattered toward the end of the match from a stiff kick. In the first video, the delayed German into a bridge and pin was beautiful. Double springboard dropkicks? Jesus! For where she is in her training, she's damn good. She would run circles around about 80% of Americans at this point. There is big time potential here. She'll be in good hands with ZERO-1. Really hope she can put it together and make an impact.

I selected Yuhi as my 2012 Rookie of the Year. She was ready to main event after three matches and she is the complete package. Plus she's 17. I've been clamoring everywhere for a Kana/Yuhi match because it'll be awesome.
Yuhi had a great one with Aja Kong at an antibullying event that is must see. It was a great match and is definitely worth a look. Yuhi's match against Meiko Satomura from 1/1 and her match against Nanae Takahashi are also worth taking a look at.
The joshi girls are better because they train and wrestle more. Simple as that.
I met Yuhi in July. She was okay in person but won't do pictures unfortunately.

The shelf life of a joshi wrestler on average isn't that long. More than likely she probably retire in her mid-20's due to either injuries piling up or no longer wish to live under the rigorous lifestyle.
