Sumo: History & Art

Sumo (Japanese: 相撲, Hepburn: sumō; pronounced , lit. 'striking one another') is a form of competitive full-contact wrestling where a rikishi (wrestler) attempts to force his opponent out of a dohyō (circular ring) or into touching the ground with any body part other than the soles of his feet (usually by throwing, shoving or pushing him down).
