SUMO RULESIn both pro sumo and international sumo, the rules
are very simple: either force your opponent out of the 15-foot diameter
ring or make your opponent touch the ground with any part of the body
other than the soles of the feet. Punching, gouging, and kicking are
prohibited, but slapping and tripping are allowed. To a large degree,
sumo wrestlers rely on strength and speed to push an opponent out
quickly, or use balance and technique to flip, trip, or maneuver the
opponent to the ground. |
