Discover the World of Sumo Wrestling
Sumo is an exciting, competitive, and full-contact wrestling sport with simple rules. In a match, a "rikishi" a wrestler will need to force the opponent out of a circular ring or "dohyo" to win. A wrestler can also claim victory by making his opponent touch the ground with any part of his body other than the soles of the feet.

Sumo originated in Japan over 1,500 years ago, written as 相撲 in Japanese characters, which literally means "striking one another." Since then, the sport has continuously grown to become an international sport with competitions in over 80 countries.
