But size ultimately matters less than technique--there are 70 moves a wrestler can use to get his opponent out of the ring. "I'm a pusher, a thruster," says Kaleo, who fights for Japan. "I come out like a boo rush." An all-American sumo to watch is Yale graduate and math teacher Kena Heffernan. "He's a very exciting wrestler but not that big," says Yonezuka. "Only...
