Ready, Set, Fight!

I'm used to old-fashioned things like three-legged races, frisbee toss and face painting at festivals and social gatherings. Nowadays the thing seems to be sumo wrestling. You put on these heavy, inflatable-like weighted suits and go against an opponent. First one to push the other out of the circle is the winner. The hardest part about it was refraining from laughing long enough to actually gather the strength to fight. It was smiles all around.

  1. Simulated Sumo… lol! Great captures!

  2. Simulated, yes, thank goodness. I can’t imagine doing the real thing. I was out of breath just putting the suit on.

  3. Man, that looks like fun! I’ve always wanted to do one of those where you fall right on your opponent wearing this…haha

  4. Oh, people were doing that too! Problem is you then need someone to help you up, so any dignity had would be lost. haha
