Sumo juga dikenal sebagai kokugi yang berarti "olahraga nasional" dari Jepang. Teknik menjatuhkan dan mengunci lawan adalah senjata terampuh yang harus dilakukan setiap pesumo.
Bagi Anda yang ingin menyaksikan tempat latihan sumo, bisa berkunjung ke Nagano. Anak-anak berusia 15 tahun hingga 30 tahun-an menjadi target utama pelatihan. Namun di usia pensiun, banyak dari mereka yang membuka tempat pelatihan sendiri.
Ada beberapa ketentuan bagi setiap pesumo. Mereka semua diharuskan memiliki berat badan antara 160 kilogram hingga 270 kilogram. Dan untuk menjadi pesumo handal biasanya sudah lihai menusukkan telapak tangannya di bawah ketiak lawan.
