By Tim on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 - 05:28 pm: Edit PostNot only beautiful throwing technique, he's super strong for his size.
As a side note, as I've often said, Sumo is one of the most practical stand up martial arts in existence.

I saw in one of the comments that he only wins around 50% of his bouts, still better then the 0% he'd win if he wasn't a very skilled projectionist! Impressive that martial arts training can give a much smaller guy a chance!
