Sumo is a Japanese style of wrestling and Japan's national sport. It originated in ancient times as a performance to entertain the Shinto gods. Many rituals with religious background are still followed today. The basic rules of sumo are simple: the wrestler who first touches the ground with anything besides the soles of his feet, or who leaves the ring before his opponent, loses. Fights take place on an elevated ring, called a "dohyo", which is made of clay and covered in a layer of sand. The fights themselves usually last only a few seconds, or in rare cases, about a minute.
It is made of surgical stainless steel.
Women are allowed to sumo wrestle but they can only compete at the amateur level. Women are not allowed to touch the sumo wrestling ring or enter professional sumo competition. This is due to the belief that women touching the wrestling ring will make the dohyo not pure.
It can take up to 9 meters of material to make the mawashi. One exceptionally large sumo took 13 meters!
In sumo, a mawashi is the belt that the rikishi (or sumo wrestler) wears during training or in competition. Upper ranked professional wrestlers wear a kesho-mawashi as part of the ring entry ceremony or dohyo-iri.
Sumo is a traditional Japanese wrestling sport that is still very popular today. In Sumo, two wrestlers stand in the ring and face each other. The winner is the wrestler who pushes his opponent out of the ring or brings him to the ground.
