EDMOND HONDA

SCHOOLS

Most schools are located in Japan. These are the best, but not the only, schools. There are three schools located in Hawaii. One of these schools did produce a champion. Sumo is organized by a complex rating system. Fighters are are ranked in two ways:by weight and by the number of tests completed. The weight portion is to ensure that smaller fighters aren't outclassed. The tests combine strict mental discipline and rigorous physical challenges. These challenges range from carrying large amounts of weight over long distances to fighting several Sumo at once. This tests the fighter's strength as well as his will.

FIGHTING STYLES

Sumo is mainly thought of as a spectator ring sport in Japan, but E.HONDA has proved that it can be devastating in the Street Fighter arena. Sumo relies on strength and sheer mass, and involves grappling and slapping.
