Sumo Wrestlers are NOT Fat #Shorts HD

●The Surprising Reason Why Samurai Trained in Sumo https://youtu.be/yNjen83F7OM The average weight of a sumo wrestler is about 166 kg, with some of the heaviest weighing nearly 230 kg. In general, fighters try to lose weight, but why do sumo wrestlers choose to get fat? To make long stories short, it is because “weight is a great weapon.” Unlike other martial arts, sumo has no class system, so not having weight will be a major disadvantage. However, many people misunderstand that sumo wrestlers are JUST fat. The average body fat percentage of sumo wrestlers is said to be about 24% which is below the average for regular Japanese men. In other words, the fat is only on the outside of the body and it hides their strong muscles underneath gained through extreme training. Also, just simply gaining weight will not make you stronger. The top sumo wrestlers, known as 横綱 yokozuna, are often below the average weight, and some of them use their short height as a weapon. Gaining too much weight can lead to knee injuries and other problems, so it is necessary to find the right body size for each individual. *The content is based on personal studies and experience There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects ▼Who is Shogo?
