I just don't understand what you're getting out of this.

Two fat guys enter a circle, finger each other's *******s, and try to push one another out of it.

I'm not the troll.

Sumo is.

I'm not really interested in explaining that to you. Like I said before, if you don't care about the sport don't watch it and ignore this thread. This thread ain't here to please you.

Sumo is one of the oldest and most traditional sports in Japan.

Whatever this thing is, it isn't a sport. These people are not athletes. They're morbidly obese. I can't even imagine how much food a Japanese person has to eat to turn themselves into a sumo-tier landwhale.

I have never seen a fat Japanese person outside of Sumo.



Anyway, to each their own. Some people like eating turds, too. You do you cheeseman.

It's actually amazing how much Tepid can piss me off with so few, and such innocuous words.

You truly are a ******* natural, Tepid.

Rikishi are way more athletic than you'll ever be and they train 10x times harder than you. I bet you wouldn't last a week training in a sumo stable.

Obviously I'm making a couple assumptions about your health and physical appearance but you do the same to me so we're equal.

LOL give me a break Kiddo. Those piebeasts couldn't run down a 4 year old. Don't know how to throw a punch, a kick. Can't Grapple. They're not fighters. They're not athletes. They're not even strongmen. Wouldn't win an arm wrestling competition.

Why don't you start following some actual, real competition? Why not watch Greco instead?

No **** they can't fight, its not MMA. I guarantee elite rikishi like Terunofuji would ragdoll you in a sumo match.

I would like to see some sumo vs strongman superfights. I think the sumos would smash them maybe get them down and grind out a win, maybe even bludgeon them with ground and pound... The strongmen will likely wing power punchs but not much else... Neither are long distance stamina people so it could be exhausting to watch... Sumo is like big mans nogi judo mixed with greco roman/freestyle, but with less room for error and it goes back 100s of years or is it 1000s?... Its more of a sport than many other sports in my mind, golf and horse riding being obvious ones

I guess the weight gaining is part of the tradition, but for sure its not healthy, I think they should be respected even more for that, they sacrifice their bodies and health for the tradition and sport

@WastelandWanderer

We'll said. The judo element of sumo especially pleases me cause I trained in judo for a little while.
