Man, the Sumo videos are always fantastic! I have gained SO MUCH respect for Sumo wrestlers from these videos, it's crazy. I respect all martial artists, but until this channel displayed it, I was completely unaware of how athletic and flexible you have to be to compete in Sumo.
@thaeros Жыл бұрын
i knew a japanese sumo and i can say they are extremely atletic, the " fat" is an " armor" but they need extrem muscles power en precise technique upon that, but what he said is right about sumo " it's a sprint not a race!" with sumo matchs they are short but intensive they have extremely hight strength and technic but they need ( for the heavy part of the sumo) to use every things to move their weight so it's short! but believe in me in a short one one one match against a sumo that will be hell for their oponent it's just with their intensive use of their muscles in a short time + their weight they will tire up quicker! And one more thing, sumo have weight category, for exemple i thing the atletic black guy for his way to fighting in in one of the low weight categories

Yup. Contrary to what is commonly thought, being obese doesn't mean you are not athletic and strong. You can be both. That said, being so strong AND big/heavy, doing those explosive feats day in and out can really do a number on your joints and tendons.

When I saw the small guy, I understood immediately. That's the body you get when all of your opponents are 2 to 3 times bigger than you, so you have to have. Pure explosive power to protect against to redirect. I have quite a bit more weight on me now. But when I was training regularly. Everybody that I was paired with was twice my weight. And like the only exceptions were people younger than me. So when we went full contact, I had to do a lot more to not be flung around. I learned to do a lot of check kicks (low sidekicks) and for me they were ways to measure distance. I had to evade while at the same time get a feel for the direction their body is going. Some people will use a jab in a similar way. You just kind of have to rely on various techniques that allow you to take control of the direction things are going in. It wouldn't surprise me if that guy does calisthenics or some hybrid. I guess in a way, practicing this martial art requires you to develop that way and to be able to hold your own against people several times bigger than you.

Judo will help you get a "feel" for people pushing into you , which can translate into doing Sumo throws.
