An Old Sport For Older People
Have you ever heard of sumo? It is a Japanese style of wrestling. I like sumo and I have been following it for about two years. Unfortunately, the sport is unpopular with young people in Japan. It is supposed to be an old sport for older people and it's kind of true. When I went to see its tournament, I found myself being surrounded by older people. Haha.
However, sumo isn't an old sport. It's cool. You might think it's boring to see the game but once you understand its rules you can enjoy it! The rules are simple: "the wrestler who first exits the ring or touches the ground with any part of his body besides the soles of his feet loses. "(japan-guide.com) A contest usually lasts only a few seconds and its game time is shorter than that of other sports. Sumo wrestlers spend a large amount of time on their training for their only short match. That's very cool, isn't that?
Anyway, as they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words." If you have a curiosity about sumo, I'll recommend to you that you go to watch sumo!

It's amazing to think that those fighters are seen like half god in their countries. It's not really pleasing to see them fighting, to see how their day works : they eat a lot to be fat... but i agree with you , it's sometimes pleasant to watch because of the rules and the strategies.
I'd rather watch free fight, when it's available.
