Sumo Wrestling Tournament


Sumo hug, originally uploaded by JTRutledge.

On Saturday, we went with another couple to a sumo wrestling tournament. We started out by sitting in the "spray seats", which meant that you were so close to the platform that you could get sand sprayed on you by the wrestlers. We also saw from our regular seats (way up high) that you could also get squashed by a 400 pound wrestler if you were real close! That's got to hurt!

It took us a while but with the help of some rented radios with English broadcasts we figured out who was wrestling who (whom?). It was a fun experience that we'd have to do again. Although, I probably won't take Mom to something like this if she comes since she wouldn't watch any of it and be too nervous the whole time! She couldn't even watch me play volleyball in high school!

Enjoy these pictures as well!!
