Japans national sport

Sum is traditional Japanese wrestling and in
1909 became Japans national sport. In ancient
times, it was practiced as agricultural and Shinto
religion rituals; so today it still includes many of the
ceremonial elements. In a match, two
wrestlers wearing only a wrestlers loincloth
(a muwashi ) enter the ring, and they fight
until one either leaves the ring or touches the
ground with any part of his body other than the
bottom of his feet. The Japan Association
puts on six annual tournaments of the professional
per year, and these are broadcast on both
television and radio.
