Sumo Wrestling - Fat Men or Awesome Athletes

Printer-Friendly Format

Ok, Ok, Yes they are "Big" guys. Some as big as 500+ lbs but they are still awesome athletes.

Here are 6 things that Sumo wrestlers must have in order to make it to the top of their sport, also known as becoming a Yokozuna.

 

  1. Speed
  2. Strength
  3. Explosive Power
  4. Balance
  5. Coordination (yes different than balance)

Check out the clip below but this time keep your eyes open and see if you can find my top 6 list in action.

Now after watching the above clip if you still cant see them as athletes thats ok because they dont see you as one either...
