Monday afternoon Whitney (my little sister) and I bought tickets to go to Sumo Wrestling for Wednesday. As we were getting closer to the event we got more excited. We found our way using the subways to get there. As we got in there and found our great seats we found cool shirts. No pictures of them yet. I'll post it later. Hopefully along with Whitney's amazing video she got of the sumo wrestling. Anyways, back in the states they have this game of sumo wrestling. Its where you put on this air costume and try to wrestle. Well in Japan and the real thing. They are real. The fat is real not fake. That was pretty nasty. With all the butt showage towards us. But it was cool. The way they fight is crazy. They do all these things for the ring. Stomp to get the bad spirits away, throw salt to purify it. And they make eye contact when they are ready to fight. It went really fast for the people who weren't of a higher level. But once we got to the higher level they have 4 minutes to prepare. Which is crazy cause they fight ends so fast. There was one we saw that took awhile. We had a fun adventure going and witnessing a match. I know it is one of a lifetime.

He got injured or was too fat to get up so they had to wheelchair him out. CRAZY!
The ritual they do before each level compets.
