Sumo is a sport which I admire. While I’m no good at remembering names, it’s the overall method of dealing with the opponent that I find fascinating.
It involves getting into someone’s special way of thinking.
It’s not what I would call a violent sport, more of a Physical Chess Match.
I really hate it when my computer changes a word just as it’s posting!
I meant to say Sumo Wrestling involves getting into someone’s ‘SPATIAL’ way of thinking.

It’s about getting a good charge , a good slap in, and a good grip. Believe it or not, they ain’t as big as they used to be.. used to watch sumo back in the ‘70s when I was stationed on the Rock.
It’s hard to achieve much less maintain massive weight.. just eating alone is a chore.
Their plight is much like the NFL linemen that bulk up to play, but after they retire they shrink by half.. well, some do.
