Pamphlet information from Mario is Missing!
Sumo wrestling has been a popular art form and sport since the 6th century, when it originated in Shinto temples. Wrestlers begin training in their early teens with endless practice, strenuous exercise and lots of special foods. The men must reach an enormous size, 250 to 375 pounds. The aim of a match is to force your opponent out of the ring, or to force him to touch the clay surface with any body part besides a foot. The wrestlers appear first in the heavily embroidered aprons donated by dedicated fans, and then strip down to skimpy loincloths.
