Sumo – The Big Men of Japan
Posted by admin on July 26th, 2008
On Thursday I went to the Sumo tournament held in Nagoya. Although most Rikishi (Sumo wrestlers) are carrying more fat than I would like to carry, they are very big, very strong and surprisingly flexible men. Sumo may have a lot of ritual but when the match starts the Rikishi go hard.
Check out the standing full split.
The big guys hit hard.
Although you might not want to look like a Rikishi, they have certainly developed ways to build a lot of muscle mass while maintaining some amazing agility and flexibility. If you ever visit Japan, a visit to a Sumo tournament should be on your to do list.
