Why not have a go!

The beauty of Sumo is that it is very easy to understand. Two wrestlers compete in a fifteen foot circle - the loser being the one who steps outside the circle first or who touches the floor first with anything other than the soles of their feet. There are no complicated rules.

It is also very easy to be fairly good within a comparitively short period of time. No previous martial arts experience is necessary.....a rugby player could easily beat the world judo champion.
