Hey, it's Zoey! I'm back again with another post, this time for extra credit! I'll be telling you all about the Japanese martial art called sumo wrestling. The object of the game is for a sumo wrestler, a.k.a. rikishi to force the opposite opponent out of the circlular ring, or to have them touch the ground with anything other than their feet. They often wear their hair in a small bun on the back of their head. Sumo wrestlers start training as young as they possibly can, and are given a specific diet that allows them to gain as much weight as possible, but also gain a lot of muscle. Although it takes a lot of time and practice to train for an event such as this, a sumo fight may take only a few seconds, because they may step out of the ring or touch the floor with something other than a foot. Because of their diets, most of them are extremely big! Were talking weights like 360 pounds!!! Next time you see a sumo wrestler, you better run!
These are 2 awesome websites that I used to find this information about sumo wrestling
