Sumo is a traditional Japanese sport where two big and strong men (also called "sumo wrestlers") try to push each other out of a small ring called "dohyo." Imagine two big, strong teddy bears trying to push each other out of a small circle.
The sumo wrestlers wear very thick and heavy belts called "mawashi" around their waists, which help them to hold onto each other and make it harder for their opponent to push them out of the ring.
Before each match, the sumo wrestlers perform a ceremonial ritual to show respect for each other and for the sport. This includes stomping their feet, clapping their hands, and throwing salt on the ground to purify the ring.
When the match starts, the sumo wrestlers try to push each other out of the ring or make their opponent touch the ground with any body part besides their feet. The first wrestler to do this wins the match.
Sumo wrestling requires a lot of strength, balance, and agility. Sumo wrestlers train extensively to build their muscles and develop their technique. They also follow a special diet that includes a lot of protein and caloric intake to maintain their massive body size.
In Japan, sumo wrestling is an important and revered sport that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is seen as a symbol of Japanese culture and tradition.
