	Sumo wrestling's BIG Brazilian presence / Large number of citizens with Japanese blood live in country

		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.

	tata.com : Tata Sumo Deluxe takes on the road
		For all you people out there who believe that size does matter, here comes the all new Tata Sumo Turbo Deluxe.
		The SumoÂ’s interiors still leave a lot to be desired because of the tacky air vents, switch gear and aircon controls.
		The new and improved version of the Sumo is not only amazing on the road but even the interiors of the vehicle scream that itÂ’s a car meant for those who love style.

		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.
		For those who prefer to keep their feet on the floor, American Dojo Martial Arts offers visitors the opportunity to become sumo wrestlers and knock their opponent out of the ring.

		Some of the material is already well-covered on the web, such as the official robot sumo rules (http://www.fsi.co.jp/sumo-e/out/outa0000.html), introduction to robot sumo (http://www.robotroom.com/SumoRules.html), how to make a sumo ring (http://www.robotroom.com/SumoCircleMini.html), and a review of sumo robots that other people have made.
		The material is well written and is often the first source I turn to verify terms or technology.
		I wish that it had a little more depth on certain subjects, such as head-to-head results from different example designs and simple experiments you can try yourself.

	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.

		The failure of Matalam to organize MIM into an active, pan-Moro party or to develop a concrete political platform, lead to suspicions that the datu was using the movement as a bargaining chip with Manila to advance his personal career.

		I think Sumo would be mroe popular if more people in the US actually understood the sport.
		The last time I saw Sumo on US TV was when ESPN2 showed a short program on a recent Basho, condensing the whole tournament down to one 30 minute show.
		I like Sumo a great deal, but U.S. coverage of the sport is spotty to non-existent.

	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.

	Chanko-Nabe Article and Recipes
		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.
