Juryo
Juryo (十両) is the second highest division in professional sumo wrestling in Japan. The name derives for ten ryo, which was in olden times the income a wrestler ranked in this division could expect to receive.
Sumo wrestlers ranked in the divisions below Juryo are considered to be in training and receive an small allowance instead of a salary. Juryo wrestlers, like those in the top Makuuchi division receive a regular monthly salary as well as other perks associated with having become a sekitori, or a member of the two upper divisions in sumo.
