All you people who think Sumo wrestlers are weak and lazy know nothing about them. The reason they gain fat is the way they eat, not what they eat. They learn to swallow things whole, and they eat ALOT. but they eat healthily.

The lack of most clothing is both traditional and so the wrestlers won’t grab loose clothing, which would be against the rules. It was created before any type of stretchy, tight clothing in Japan was, so, thats what they wore. Also, to not get knocked out of the ring you HAVE to be heavy.

Not only are they big, they are very strong too due to the way they eat and exercise (professional ones, I’m sure there are things like jr high teams or something that just eat junk food and try to shove each other out of a ring…) They have alot of muscle under that fat. I don’t Sumo wrestle myself, but I think they deserve more respect than what a lot of you people are giving them.
