Sumo wrestling is a traditional Japanese martial art and sport that involves two wrestlers, known as rikishi, competing in a circular ring called the dohyo. The primary objective is to force the opponent out of the ring or to make any part of their body, other than the soles of their feet, touch the ground. Sumo wrestling is characterized by its unique techniques, rituals, and cultural significance, including elaborate pre-match ceremonies. Wrestlers wear a mawashi, a traditional belt, and typically engage in various training practices to enhance their strength, balance, and technique. The sport has a long history in Japan, tracing back over a thousand years, and is governed by specific rules and rankings, including divisions where wrestlers compete for titles and honor within the sport.
