Really cool. There's a lot of overlap between sumo and judo. More so than probably any other sport. Calling it Sumo Wrestling is a misnomer. Its not wrestling at all.
double misnomer since Sumo means wrestling.... so Sumo Wrestling would be Wrestling Wrestling
It's definitely wrestling. Hell, the only thing that keeps judo from being wrestling is the presence of striking arts within it.
Wrestling isn't limited to Greco-roman wrestling.
Definition: the sport or activity of grappling with an opponent and trying to throw or hold them down on the ground, typically according to a code of rules.
