Two competitors embrace each other after their bout, June 10, 2017, during the annual Henoko Okinawa-Style Sumo Tournament, at Mae-No-Hama Field, in Henoko, Okinawa, Japan. During a bout, competitors try to earn points by making their opponent fall into the dohyo, or sandy pit, without striking or letting go of each other’s belts. The first to gain two points is the victor. Okinawa-style sumo wrestling, also known as kakuriki, is a combination of western wrestling and traditional Japanese sumo and judo, according to Fumio Iha, Camp Schwab’s community relations specialist.
