Flexing his muscles

Would be great to have a Sumo tournament held in Hawaii. It would be great for tourism and there is a history of Hawaiian champions practicing the culture of Sumo in Japan.

This is a really cool ceremony. Kind of invoking the gods, but his posture is "Come and get it !!! "

Kimokekahuna Hawaii: Oh no, the image of Sumo wrestlers wearing trunks under their mawashi in USA (as it happened in past tournaments) is unfortunately forever burned in my brain, leaving a permanent scar. Are they now more open minded over there?

I attended a "dohyo-iri" several times, all by the first ever "foreign" yokozuna, the great Akebono. It was majestic !

Maybe you should get in the ring with him to discover just how "flabby" his triceps are.

Sense - well - they do look menacing. I only faced once a young sumo player (at a Ryogoku Open Doors event), and hitting him was like hitting a wall. And he was a lowest ranked 17 years old boy! Can you imagine the power this yokozuna has?

ebisen, Sense, I dislocated my shoulder and had the wind knocked out of me a couple times "playing rikishi" twenty or so years ago. I am a pretty big boy myself, too !

If you're a normal person, these sumo fighters have more muscles in one of their arms than you in both legs. They do look fat, but they are also very muscular...If you ever watch a live event, you'll also learn (and probably be surprised) that they do move at incredible speeds and are extremely agile.
