Japanese Style of Wrestling. 1884, Sorakichi v Bibby.

The Japanese wrestler Enho Akira demonstrates a true sumo skill!! And he's a short guy, like not even 170cm, of course he is heavy for his height but that's part of the sport's strategy. Long story short, it is "standing catch hold above and under the waist, tripping allowed". Ed Bibby the master of Lancashire catch wrestling apparently couldn't win on take-downs?
