Sumo in Japan is a traditional sport with a long history, and is known as the quintessence of Japan. Sumo has been a favorite sport of the Japanese people since ancient times. It is not only a sports competition, but also a symbol of culture. In Japan, the sumo arena is regarded as a sacred place, which attracts a large number of spectators every year.

The origin of sumo wrestling

Sumo originated in ancient Japan and is said to date back to the 23rd century BC. Sumo was originally a ritual to pray for a bumper harvest and protect the village from disasters. With the passage of time, sumo has gradually evolved into a competitive activity and gradually formed the basic rules and forms of modern sumo.

Basic rules of sumo wrestling

Sumo is usually held on a round earthen altar, where two Guinness players confront each other. At the beginning of the competition, Lux must stand on the clay altar with both feet on the ground, and then touch the ground with both hands to show that he is ready to start the competition. In the competition, Lux can use various skills and strategies to try to push his opponent out of the mud or touch the ground.

The judgment of the outcome of the sumo competition is very simple, and there are only two results: one side is pushed out of the clay altar or touches the ground, which is negative; One side successfully pushes the other side out of the earthen altar or touches the ground, which is victory. After the game, the winner will be rewarded and the loser will be punished. Sumo competitions are usually very intense and tense. The audience will cheer for the Lux they support, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Lux's training and life

Being a sumo wrestler is not easy, and it usually requires strict training from an early age. The training of sumo wrestlers includes strength training, skill training and physical training. Luxers trains many times every day to improve his strength and skills. In addition, Lux people need to maintain special eating habits. They eat a lot of high-calorie food every day to gain weight and strength.

Besides training, the life of a sumo wrestler is also very special. They live in the sumo department and are managed and guided by the master. Their lives are very regular. They will train in groups every morning and then do daily housework. Sumo wrestlers also have to abide by some special rules, such as not allowing marriage and shaving.

The Inheritance and Development of Sumo

As the quintessence of Japan, sumo has always been highly valued and supported by the government and society. The Japan Sumo Association is the highest authority in the sumo world, responsible for managing and organizing sumo competitions. Sumo Association holds many large-scale competitions every year, which attracts the attention of audiences and media all over the world.

In recent years, with the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, the influence of sumo in Japan has gradually weakened. In order to attract more spectators and young people to participate, the sumo association has also taken a series of reform measures, such as introducing some new rules and systems to increase the entertainment and competitiveness of the competition.
