#Crouching Sumo

This is the Sumo wrestlers’ starting position with fists and
feet all touching the ground. This position must be held by
both contestants in order to start the bout. It is from here

that the Sumo must decide how best to engage in the prac-
tice.

Traditional throwing of salt and slapping the thighs is con-
ducted prior to this stance being taken. The winner is the

first to get their opponent out of the 15ft diameter Dhojo
ring.
