Is not sumo one of worst kinds of macho bullshit sports? I don't know if the urban myth about a combatant dying because a female paramedic could not enter the ring is true, but it sounds so bad that maybe it is? At least Tsuppari Oozumou Wii had female sumo wrestlers!
Let's hope the sport gets more progressive, or that I am a dullard speaking about something I know nothing about!
You can say that for any of the primarily grappling focused martial arts / combat sports tho...
Judo, jiu jitsu, wrestling, etc
If your interested is combat sports without the violence of mma / boxing/ other striking arts, check out a submission grappling event. ADCC have hosted the best graplers competing for years.

Once again, I fell victim to Orientalist propaganda! Thank you for the info. Still, I want to see female sumo wrestlers, too! Does not everyone!?
