 Sumo wrestling's BIG Brazilian presence / Large number of citizens with Japanese blood live in country
Leonardo says he was first introduced to sumo wrestling just over three years ago, when an elderly Japanese man spotted him playing on the street and, impressed with his robust physique even at that tender age, asked him if he wanted to give it a try.
One of the oldest martial arts in Japan, sumo wrestling is believed to have emerged more than 1,500 years ago as a ceremony aimed at pleasing the gods of the Shinto religion.
Until the mid-1990s, sumo wrestling in Brazil was almost exclusively practiced by Japanese immigrants and their offspring.

Lots'a people don't realize that Sumo used to sing the song "Fishin' in the Dark" under a slightly different title for several years before the Dirt Band picked it up and made it a top hit.

As an amateur honky-tonk guitarist and country and folk music addict himself, Sumo's been a Kingston Trio and Dirt Band Fan since time began.

 AikiWeb Aikido Forums - Question for Tomiki folks
This is the crux of it: I think many people are turned off Shodokan because the randori/shiai part looks really "messy" compared to more cooperative forms of aikido.
Of course, in "real life situations", 90%+ of aikido does not look like what is practiced in the dojo: it is messy, it can be brutal, but it gets the job done.
I watched the videos precisely b/c I wanted a better understanding of aikido with an uncooperative uke, since in my dojo ukes are encouraged to give energy to the attack, but not to resist the technique.

Vicki Sylvester, administrative manager for American Dojo in Waukesha, said putting the foam-padded sumo suit feels similar to the way parents bundle their children up to play in the snow.

 Igorot and moro National Reemergence: The Fabricated Philippine State.
In its origin and purpose, it was similar to the autonomy proposed by the Nicaraguan Sandinistas for the Miskito, Sumo, and Rama peoples, and to that imposed on the Hmong by the Pathet Lao.
Like Israeli and Afrikaan nationalisms, Filipino nationalism considers itself as culturally and spiritually separate from, and in fact superior to, the region and peoples in which it is geographically situated.
Arguing that it endangered the "national unity" of the Philippines by politically unifying the non-Christian peoples of the mountains of northern Luzon, they demanded the partition of the Mountain Province.

 Who is the tribe of Malgal[Mohe]?
As Malgal is not the name of one people but diverse peoples' comprehensive name in the area, the territorial names like as Sumo, Baishan and Heishui appear to be important in the designation of 'Sumo Malgal', 'Baishan Malgal' and 'Heishui Malgal'.
Therefore, finally, we can come to the conclusion that only Heishui is the former real-Malgal, and Sumo, Baishan and others are the people of Goguryo the descendants of Weimo.
However, many scholars believe that Parhae and Jin dynasty were founded by the people of Malgal and Jurchen.

Today's wrestlers train and live at heya (stables) run by former sumo champions, where everything from their grooming to their diet is carefully controlled.
When nabe is prepared by sumo wrestlers, it's called chanko-nabe, a name whose origin is unclear - although since chan means father and ko means child, some believe the term refers to a stable, master and his apprentices.
Because strength and size are factors key to success in sumo, what and how much a wrestler eats are of particular importance.

In fact, the challenges were so tough that during the program’s 3 year air time, only 5 - 7 people successfully beat Takeshi.
