How is this even considered a sport? Literally the strategy is 'be fatter than your opponent'. There is no technique involved. No fight IQ like in real combat sports. No strength. No talent. No speed. Literally it just boils down to who can eat the most cheeseburgers before their match. It's fucking stupid.

Ever actually tried?

Honestly I'm trying to understand it right now, but you aren't making a very good case for it. You know, because you didn't fucking say anything.
No I haven't I also haven't ever tried sucking dicks. I also haven't ever tried sticking hitting myself in the head with a hammer or jumping off of a bridge. Do you have a point?
Samuel Bailey
It's a cultural thing. Plus there are some technics that smaller commbatants can use like palm striking to disorient and using the weight of your opponent. There is that czech sumo wrestler who is not fat at all and he wins some matches. Of course if you're up against a literal wall of highly leg trained muscles and fat on top of those muscles, there little you can do.
Lincoln Barnes
How much skill does it take to get fat?
Jason Rivera
That's like saying being a linebacker only requires you to be big. You need the right combination of bulk, strength, speed & experience. These guys do have strength under the fat. Look at strong man competitions or heavy weight Olympic lifters. None of those guys look like guys in body building competitions. A sumo match lasts seconds, a big part of it is to have the speed to position the momentum of your weight optimally while getting the best brace against your opponent ie technique If you just stick in a basic fat-ass he's going to get launched on his butt. Sumo is a sport and you're pretty much incorrect on all counts. Now if you said sumo isn't an interesting sport to watch I'd be in agreement. Its kind of like saber fencing, the matches are over before you have much of a chance to even follow what's happening.

A lot of sumo wrestlers have ton of muscles under the fat. Not all fat wrestlers win.
There’s quite a few strategies in sumo as well as different techniques. While striking tends to be limited, you will often see judo and some wrestling techniques.
Charging your opponent at the beginning and throwing your weight around without thought will get you redirected out of the ring.
I’m not saying it’s for everyone or even a great combat sport but dismissing the nuances of it is disrespectful and flat out wrong.
Dominic Johnson
The best guy for about a decade now is on the small end for sumos. There is a lot of technique, strength, and speed. You claim to have done research but know less than nothing. I am trolled.
Nathaniel Johnson
>no strength
When's the last time you body slammed a 400lb guy?

It's cool

You can say cheap arguments like this about any combat sport. MMA included. Now the arguments aren't "being fatter than your opponent" but you understand. And I wouldn't wanna square up against any of these dudes in real life. They may be fat but sumo wrestlers have a shit load of strength. Strong enough to snap the average man like a twig.
Eli Rogers
It's open weight retard that's why there's no smal wrestlers. And there's alot of fucking strategy. Maybe one can't take his opponent out and will have to rely on takedowns or knocking him out with palm strikes or clotheslines.
Wyatt Wright
Clearly bait.
Nice 1 OP. 1/10 made me reply.
Dominic Foster
YouTube "Enho Sumo". One of the smallest professional sumo wrestlers and is one of the biggest up and coming stars of the sport. Positive winning record the past 6 tournaments. Consistantly beats guys 150 lbs larger than him.
Blake Rivera
>Clotheslines.
Lol yea okay, that doesnt happen in sumo. Please stop.
Brandon Torres
Not a mfing wwe clothesline sped. It's cuz they cant hit with clothes fists and when they get in clinches from a running start they can use that to hit their opponent.

Nolan Cook
Oh my fucking god nigga do you think some bitch is gonna some jbl shit in sumo i like you look at sumo KOs and bitches are are KOing each other as soon as they clinch
Angel Parker
No faggot. That's Apple's to oranges. Sumo is about two fat fucks pushing each other. No skill involved period
Ryder Robinson
Nobody watches fat Chinese guys wearing diapers pushing each other. Also you're a faggot
Logan Rogers
Have you heard of a rikishi called Enho? He weighs 99 kg, being the lightest in the top division, and is enjoying considerable success. Sumo is a wonderful art and ritual, that involves plenty of fight IQ, I'd say more than many other martial arts. There are about 60 different finishing techniques in Sumo, so I'd say there is more than enough technique lol
Isaac Watson
So mad you arent even making sense any more. Let's start this over.
>Maybe one can't take his opponent out and will have to rely on takedowns or knocking him out with palm strikes or clotheslines.
You are literally saying that they could clothesline someone. Sure they "could" but they dont. I pointed that out, and now you are mad?

No, you do based on your clothesline comment.
