Sport of Sumo
To many people unfamiliar with sumo wrestling, it is just a sport where two large men charge into 💪 each other.
However, this could not be further from the truth.
Being a sumo wrestler requires long hours of training, technique, a 💪 strong sense of discipline, and a total commitment to the lifestyle.
.
.
Sumo is a very competitive and physical sport that originated 💪 around 1,500 years ago.
The basic idea is to force the other wrestler to either step outside of the "dohyo"(circular ring) 💪 or touch the floor with something else besides the wrestler's feet.
A majority of the time the matches only last a 💪 few seconds, however, matches can last longer depending on the technique, strength, and skill of the two wrestlers competing.
This seems 💪 like a simple task, but a lot of training and proficiency is required to become a successful wrestler.
Life as a 💪 sumo wrestler is highly structured, with rules laid down by the Sumo Association.
Professional sumo wrestlers are required to live in 💪 dormitory-type residences known as sumo training stables.
Everything is controlled from who eats first, wears what clothes, and performs the more 💪 mundane tasks to maintain the "heya"(stable).
While I had a brief stay at Chuo University, I was able to join the 💪 sumo team for practice and observe them train.
When we first walked into the heya, it was warm and humid.
We sat 💪 down off to the side on a hardwood floor and began to observe the team practice.
The sensei (instructor) sat on 💪 a pad, drinking cold ice tea in which you could see the condensation on the outside of the glass.
As the 💪 wrestlers trained, they would not speak unless the sensei shouted a brief message to correct their technique.
However, there were times 💪 when an individual wrestler seemed to be summoned to the sensei and almost reprimanded for making a mistake.
During practice, three 💪 main training techniques are used; challenge matches, "sanban-geiko", and "butsukari-geiko".
Challenge matches: These matches take place after warming up.
They are very 💪 similar to the way wrestlers fight in a tournament which is often regarded as the best form of training.
This also 💪 serves as an opportunity for less experienced wrestlers to challenge the highly skilled wrestlers.
Sanban-geiko: This type of training stretches a 💪 wrestler's stamina to the limit.
In this training, two wrestlers fight each other over and over to wear each other down.
This 💪 allows the wrestlers to hone their techniques against different styles of wrestlers as well.
Butsukari-geiko: In this style of training, two 💪 wrestlers pair up and take turns pushing one another from one end of the dohyo to the other.
The wrestler being 💪 pushed plants his feet as the other wrestler pushes him across the floor.
This is done until most of the dirt 💪 from the dohyo is pushed from the center of the ring to the outside.
When the exercise is done, the dirt 💪 is moved back towards the center of the ring and spread back out evenly.
Watching sumo wrestlers practice is a very 💪 intense experience.
The picture I had painted in my head of sumo was very bland and only involved two overweight men 💪 running into each other.
However, after seeing how intense the training and practice matches are, I have a new found respect 💪 for the sport.
The intensity of sumo can be compared to American football or rugby.
As the wrestlers train, they receive cuts, 💪 bloody noses, and oddly shaped injuries that swell up at the point of impact on their shoulders.
Regardless of any injuries, 💪 they continue to train to make themselves better.
Wrestlers train from the early morning, normally around 6:00 a.m.
, and even earlier 💪 if it's a lower ranking wrestler, until lunchtime.
Normally the wrestlers train six days a week.
After the practice was over, the 💪 sumo team treated us to a "Chankonabe" (a type of hot pot) dinner.
The wrestlers showered, then began setting up the 💪 meal within five minutes of the practice ending.
I eventually sat down at one of four tables which seated about eight 💪 to nine people.
On each table, there was a big pot sitting over a gas fire, filled with some sort of 💪 broth.
As appetizers, we ate white rice, fried eggs and ham, salad, tofu, and octopus.
Meanwhile, the lower-ranking wrestlers began to add 💪 all of the other ingredients into the pot.
This included cabbage, beef, noodles, chicken, and a few other vegetables.
It was very 💪 delicious and I ate so much that all I wanted to do is go to sleep, which is also a 💪 common sumo "training" technique to gain weight.
It is common for the wrestlers to sleep directly after eating such a large 💪 meal to amplify their weight gain.
The meal is often prepared and served by the lower-ranking wrestlers and they only get 💪 to eat when everyone is taken care of, even guests of the heya.
Regular nabe (hot pot) dishes are cooked commonly 💪 throughout Japan.
However, chankonabe is normally a special sumo dish.
Chankonabe restaurants can be found all around Japan.
They are more common in 💪 Tokyo's Ryogoku district, which is known as the center of the sumo world.
The restaurants are normally owned by former sumo 💪 wrestlers and are packed with sumo memorabilia.
The food will be in smaller portions and have more refined ingredients, so it 💪 will be very delicious.
Six tournaments are held every year.
Each one lasts 15 days and starts and ends on a Sunday.
Three 💪 tournaments are held in Tokyo in the months of January, May, and September.
Then there is one each in Osaka, Nagoya, 💪 and Fukuoka with the tournaments taking place in March, July, and November respectively.
A great web-site to buy tickets from outside 💪 Japan and to see when and where the events are scheduled is BuySumotTickets.com.
Sumo is a great sport with many traditions.
The 💪 wrestlers that dedicate their lives to sumo are committed to the history and traditions infused in the sport.
Every day of 💪 their lives is lived in a way to make them a better wrestler in anticipation of the day that they 💪 can become a professional sumo wrestler.
