Description
Sumo, Japan's national sport, is an experience like no other. Every year, six grand tournaments known as "Honbasho" take place, with the "Autumn Basho lighting up Tokyo each September.
The matches on the dohyo ring are a sight to behold, as the thunderous clash of sumo wrestlers resonates through the arena. While the rules of sumo are straightforward — step outside the ring or let anything but your feet touch the ground, and you lose — there's so much more to it. With 82 distinct techniques at play, you'll be amazed by the skill and power these athletes display. Keep an eye out for the mastery behind every move!
